These maps have been 57°N 57°N produced by the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), and 104C Geoscience BC. To be included in this index maps have to be available for digital download. Each map is represented by the actual map extent or footprint rather than a bounding box or NTS sheet that it falls within. This provides an accurate representation of the areal extent of surficial geology mapping for British Columbia. 104B 094A 104A 094D 094C 094B The index is presented by map scale. In the digital versions of this index advanced searches can Fort St John also be conducted on fields such as source author, source type (data available in digital or PDF form), or source series (Preliminary maps to A Series or Geoscience maps) to name a few. 56°N Publication page URLs are supplied for each map where the source files, PDFs or digital data can 56°N Stewart be downloaded. Also included is supplemental information which, when applicable, states where Dawson Creek data are originally from and/or have elsewhere been used. Instances of this would be when an Germansen Landing Chetwynd author published a map which was then revised and published as a GSC A Series map or when a map was used in a subsequent compilation. When this has occurred not only are the publication numbers provided for these other maps but links to their publication pages as well. This enables 103O 093P 103P 093M 093N 093O users to see all sources of the same data. In some cases original mapping is only available as a MacKenzie PDF but a subsequent map or compilation has made it available as an attributed vector file (e.g., Hazelton shapefile). 55°N 55°N Smithers 103K Terrace 093I 103I 093L 093K Fort St James 093J 103J Prince Rupert Houston 54°N 54°N Masset Kitimat Fraser Lake Vanderhoof Prince George 103F 103G 093H 103H 093G 083E Queen Charlotte 093E 093F Sandspit 118°W 53°N 53°N Quesnel Valemount 103C 083D 103B 093A 093B 093D Bella Coola 093C 083C 116°W 103A 52°N Williams Lake 52°N 132°W 102O 082N 082M Golden 082O 092P 102P 092M 092N 092O 51°N Revelstoke 51°N 130°W Invermere Cache Creek 082J Kamloops Lillooet 082K Port Hardy 102I 082L 092I 50°N 092J Vernon 092L 092K 114°W Lytton Merritt Kimberley Kelowna Campbell River 50°N Cranbrook 082G Nelson 082F Courtenay 128°W Penticton082E Castlegar Princeton 092E 092H 114°W 092G Hope 092F Trail Rossland 116°W Vancouver Greenwood Grand Forks Osoyoos 118°W Nanaimo 120°W 49°N 122°W 126°W 092C Victoria 092B 124°W North American Datum 1983 Albers Equal Area Conic projection LIST OF DATA SOURCES McCammon, J.W., 1977.

  • 20. Aboriginal Rights and Interests Effects
    20. ASSESSMENT OF ABORIGINAL AND TREATY RIGHTS AND RELATED INTERESTS 20.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses potential adverse effects on Aboriginal and Treaty rights and related interests which may arise from the Project during construction, operations, decommissioning/reclamation, and post-closure. Underground mining activities have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights by interfering with Aboriginal groups’ ability to engage in practices, customs, and traditions that are integral to their distinctive cultures, and/or by interfering with the exercise of rights expressly recognized in a treaty. Interference with Aboriginal and Treaty rights is generally indirect, resulting from changes to environmental conditions that are necessary for the continued exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The assessment is based on information derived from the Proponent’s engagement with potentially- affected Aboriginal groups, environmental assessments carried out elsewhere in the Application/EIS, and the review of secondary data. Wherever possible, the assessment addresses potential effects on Aboriginal and treaty rights and related interests as understood from the perspective of the Aboriginal groups in question. Baseline reports informing this assessment are appended to the Application/EIS and include: Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Knowledge and Use Desk-Based Research Report (Appendix 17-A) and Saulteau First Nations Knowledge and Use Study for HD Mining Murray River Coal Project (Appendix 17-B). 20.2 REGULATORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK The Crown has a legal duty to consult with and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal interests when it contemplates a conduct that might adversely impact the potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty right. The Crown delegated procedural aspects of this duty, with respect to the Project, to the Proponent through the Section 11 Order and EIS Guidelines.

  • Quarterly Report on Short-Term Water Approvals and Use
    Quarterly Report on Short-Term Water Approvals and Use April to June 2011 About the BC Oil and Gas Commission The BC Oil and Gas Commission is an independent, single-window regulatory agency with responsibilities for overseeing oil and gas operations in British Columbia, including exploration, development, pipeline transportation and reclamation. The Commission’s core roles include reviewing and assessing applications for industry activity, consulting with First Nations, ensuring industry complies with provincial legislation and cooperating with partner agencies. The public interest is protected through the objectives of ensuring public safety, protecting the environment, conserving petroleum resources and ensuring equitable participation in production. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Page 2 Processes and Requirements Page 3 Results Page 4 Summary Page 7 Appendix A Page 8 Appendix B Page 9 Appendix C Page 12 1 BC Oil and Gas Commission Quarterly Report on Short-Term Water Approvals and Use Introduction The Oil and Gas Activities Act (OGAA) provides authority to the BC Oil and Gas Commission (Commission) to issue short-term water use approvals under Section 8 of the Water Act to manage short-term water use by the oil and gas industry. Approvals under Section 8 of the Water Act authorize the diversion and use of water for a term not exceeding 12 months. This report details the Commission’s responsibilities and authorities under Section 8 of the Water Act; it does not include the diversion and use of water approved by other agencies (such as the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which has responsibility for water licensing) or for purposes other than oil and gas activities.

  • Remembering the Dane-Zaa Soundscape Recordings of Howard Broomfield
    The Listener: Remembering the Dane-zaa Soundscape Recordings of Howard Broomfield Robin Ridington and Jillian Ridington “The Listener” audio file is openly available online at: http://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/bcstudies/issue/view/182772 ACTUALITIES udio recordings, like photographs, are documents of particular times and places, but unlike photographs, which are snapshots, audio documents record an ongoing flow of sonic Avibrations in real time. As R. Murray Schafer points out, “the real paradox is that although sounds are pronounced in time, they are also erased by time” (Schafer 1993, 176-77). In this respect, film and videography are more like audio documents than they are like photographs. Audio and visual actualities do not recreate events but simply record images and sounds of transitory moments that would otherwise exist only in memory. Soundscape recordings are audio actualities that document natural and cultural acoustic environments that have once been part of living expe- rience. These actualities are the product of modern technology and did not exist for virtually all of human history. Unlike musical performances and vocal recitations, which are performative recreations, audio actualities are mechanical copies of acoustic vibrations captured from the flow of events at a particular time and place. Sound itself is distinctively terrestrial. It is transmitted through a medium of air, water, or even the earth itself by relatively slow-moving vibrations. Sound cannot propagate in a vacuum. The waves we experience as sound can exist in only a tiny fraction of the universe. Beginning in the twentieth century, the global soundscape has been transformed by the capacity of electromagnetic waves to transmit signals that are independent of a physical medium.

  • Late Pleistocene Palaeoenvironments, Archaeology, and Indicators of a Glacial Refugium on Northern Vancouver Island, Canada
    Late Pleistocene palaeoenvironments, archaeology, and indicators of a glacial refugium on northern Vancouver Island, Canada by Christopher Franklin George Hebda B.A., University of Victoria, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Anthropology © Christopher Franklin George Hebda, 2019 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. We acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱ SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. ii Supervisory Committee Late Pleistocene palaeoenvironments, archaeology, and indicators of a glacial refugium on northern Vancouver Island, Canada by Christopher Franklin George Hebda B.A., University of Victoria, 2014 Supervisory Committee Dr. Quentin Mackie, Department of Anthropology Co-Supervisor Dr. Duncan McLaren, Department of Anthropology Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Recent research has revealed human settlement on the Pacific coast of Canada extending back nearly 14,000 years, but much of the late Pleistocene record is unknown due to shifting sea levels, poor understanding of Cordilleran ice extent, and limited research on the biota of the coast during this time. This study, undertaken in Quatsino First Nation and ‘Namgis First Nation territories as part of the Northern Vancouver Island Archaeology and Palaeoecology Project, employs modern multi-proxy analysis of lake sediment cores from two sites on northern Vancouver Island to reconstruct palaeoenvironments during and immediately following the Fraser Glaciation in coastal British Columbia.

  • Marine Distribution, Abundance, and Habitats of Marbled Murrelets in British Columbia
    Chapter 29 Marine Distribution, Abundance, and Habitats of Marbled Murrelets in British Columbia Alan E. Burger1 Abstract: About 45,000-50,000 Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus birds) are extrapolations from relatively few data from 1972 marmoratus) breed in British Columbia, with some birds found in to 1982, mainly counts in high-density areas and transects most parts of the inshore coastline. A review of at-sea surveys at covering a small portion of coastline (Rodway and others 84 sites revealed major concentrations in summer in six areas. 1992). Between 1985 and 1993 many parts of the British Murrelets tend to leave these breeding areas in winter. Many Columbia coast were censused, usually by shoreline transects, murrelets overwinter in the Strait of Georgia and Puget Sound, but the wintering distribution is poorly known.

  • Landforms of British Columbia 1976
    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.
