Part2 Pug Sou Wes Was 100 Pugel Sound and Western Washington MONROE Monroe is a growing town of nearly 2,000 people, on the main line of the Great North- ern, and upon the new "Milwaukee" line, 12 miles east of Everett. The chief indus- tries of the town and surrounding district are logging, lumbering,shinglemanufac- turing,dairying, and small fruit growing and general farming.The townsite is high with fine available factorysites, and an immense farming region.The valleyof the Snoqualmie River for thirty-five miles southeast of Monroe is one of the most famed farming sections tributary to Puget Sound. Dairying is the present chief pursuit of the ranchers in the Monroe valley.The climate and abundance of sparkling water, makes this an ideal dairy region.Many herds of pure bred cows are making their owners rich for although dairying has been followed here since the days of the earliest settlers, its great advance has been since the building of a large plant of the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company, which was secured by the efforts of the Monroe Com- mercialClub. The lumber industryof Monroe is very important.Five saw mills and six shingle mills are in operationin the vicinity and many logging camps. The town also has a large canning and box factory, a creamery and isthe home of the Great Northern Fruit Company, which has the largest berry farm in the state, sixty acresalldevoted to berryraising, and shipping hundreds of cases daily dur- ing the summer season to eastern points. Other berry farms are also being developed in a way to make Monroe known as a great center for berry raising.Fruit and vegetables are also raised in large quantities for the cannery. The Washington State Reformatory, an institution recently located at Monroe, is expending annually in con- struction work about a quarter of a million dollars, and will continue to do soar sev- eral years to come.It is for young criminals and first term men. The reformatory is to accommodate one thousand inmates and will furnish positions, when completed, for 100 employees. The town has good stores, sub- stantial brick and concrete buildings, tele- phone, water and elecrtic lighting systems, banks, and a newspaper.The schools are excellent,there aremanychurches,an opera house, and the town is increasing rapidly.

    Fraser Valley Geotour: Bedrock, Glacial Deposits, Recent Sediments, Geological Hazards and Applied Geology: Sumas Mountain and Abbotsford Area A collaboration in support of teachers in and around Abbotsford, B.C. in celebration of National Science and Technology Week October 25, 2013 MineralsEd and Natural Resources Canada, Geological Survey of Canada Led by David Huntley, PhD, GSC and David Thompson, P Geo 1 2 Fraser Valley Geotour Introduction Welcome to the Fraser Valley Geotour! Learning about our Earth, geological processes and features, and the relevance of it all to our lives is really best addressed outside of a classroom. Our entire province is the laboratory for geological studies. The landscape and rocks in the Fraser Valley record many natural Earth processes and reveal a large part of the geologic history of this part of BC – a unique part of the Canadian Cordillera. This professional development field trip for teachers looks at a selection of the bedrock and overlying surficial sediments in the Abbotsford area that evidence these geologic processes over time. The stops highlight key features that are part of the geological story - demonstrating surface processes, recording rock – forming processes, revealing the tectonic history, and evidence of glaciation. The important interplay of these phenomena and later human activity is highlighted along the way. It is designed to build your understanding of Earth Science and its relevance to our lives to support your teaching related topics in your classroom. Acknowledgments We would like to thank our partners, the individuals who led the tour to share their expertise, build interest in the natural history of the area, and inspire your teaching.

  • Wetland Action Plan for British Columbia
    Wetland Action Plan for British Columbia IAN BARNETT Ducks Unlimited Kamloops, 954 A Laval Crescent, Kamloops, BC, V2C 5P5, Canada, email [email protected] Abstract: In the fall of 2002, the Wetland Stewardship Partnership was formed to address the need for improved conservation of wetland ecosystems (including estuaries) in British Columbia. One of the first exercises undertaken by the Wetland Stewardship Partnership was the creation of a Wetland Action Plan. The Wetland Action Plan illustrates the extent of the province's wetlands, describes their value to British Columbians, assesses threats to wetlands, evaluates current conservation initiatives, and puts forth a set of specific actions and objectives to help mitigate wetland loss or degradation. It was determined that the most significant threats to wetlands usually come from urban expansion, industrial development, and agriculture. The Wetland Stewardship Partnership then examined which actions would most likely have the greatest positive influence on wetland conservation and restoration, and listed nine primary objectives, in order of priority, in a draft ‘Framework for Action’. Next, the partnership determined that meeting the first four of these objectives could be sufficient to provide meaningful and comprehensive wetland protection, and so, committed to working together towards enacting specific recommendations in relation to these objectives. These four priority objectives are as follows: (1) Work effectively with all levels of government to promote improved guidelines and stronger legislative frameworks to support wetlands conservation; (2) Provide practical information and recommendations on methods to reduce impacts to wetlands to urban, rural, and agricultural proponents who wish to undertake a development in a wetland area; (3) Improve the development and delivery of public education and stewardship programs that encourage conservation of wetlands, especially through partnerships; and (4) Conduct a conservation risk assessment to make the most current inventory information on the status of B.C.

Earthquakes 2. Flooding 3. Geologic Hazards 4. Severe Storms 5. Tsunamis 6. Volcanoes 7. Wildland Fires The updated HIVA was received late in the plan update process and will be the basis for the next version of the all hazards plan. The following sections describe the seven significant natural hazards and their potential threats to Whatcom County. Much of the information collected in these hazard summaries came from local experts working in hazard assessment or hazard mitigation for a specific hazard. The summaries describe the hazards, convey the areas at potential risk from each hazard, and describe mitigation measures as implemented in the past or to be implemented in the future to manage the effects of natural disasters in Whatcom County. Each hazard description is organized into the following parts: Hazard Related Definitions Background Information General description of the hazard relevant to Whatcom County and Washington State History Historical background on the presence of the hazard in Whatcom County; much of this information was obtained from agencies such as FEMA, the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), and the U.S. Geological Society (USGS) Vulnerability Assessment Descriptions of specific areas within the county at risk for each hazard, when this information was available Mitigation Strategies Recommended mitigation strategies to lessen the dangers posed by each hazard Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management Original Submission: June 1, 2015 2 - 1 FEMA Approval: Dec 15, 2016 Whatcom County SECTION 2: HAZARD SUMMARIES Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan Whatcom County’s Planning and Development Services provided the entire hazard GIS datasets, except for the Wildland Fire data, which came from WDNR’s North Region.

To write this book, we drew upon echoes of the stories and teachings of our Sumas ancestors. We have used oral and visual storytelling in the book to help readers to understand how stories are passed down through generations. These stories must be presented with respect, honor, and dignity. Writing this book is another step in the process of Truth and Reconciliation. It is a chance to share Sumas history with young people so they understand that the lake was part of our everyday THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHOSE VOICES KEPT THE STORIES ALIVE lives, and that its memory remains a part of our lives today. The lake is remembered through its stories. It is important to acknowledge what has happened to our land, and the changes experienced by the Sumas people over the last 100 years. This book is just one story of the changes to the land and water experienced by Indigenous people since settlers came to our territory. These changes continue to impact our people today. Today, our territory continues to put food on people’s tables.
