  • Crofton, BC, Canada | Red Seal Recruiting
    Crofton, BC http://www.croftonbc.com/ The active community of Crofton is situated on the calm waters of Osborne Bay in the Cowichan Valley, 22 minutes’ drive from Duncan. It is home to 2,500 people. The modern town of Crofton was founded in 1902 by Henry Croft, who owned a nearby copper in Mt. Sicker. He used the town to build a smelter, export his copper, and house his workers. The town prospered until world copper prices dropped, causing the closure of the mine in 1908. The miners struggled to find work in the logging and fishing industries until 1956, when a large pulp and paper mill was built on the outskirts of town, attracted by Crofton's deep-sea port. The mill is still in operation today. These days, this friendly forestry community offers quiet parks, comfortable accommodation and a host of family activities such as golfing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Close to Victoria and Nanaimo, Crofton is also is home to one of the ferries heading to Saltspring Island.

  • Bedrock Geology of the North Saanich-Cobble Hill Area, British Columbia, Canada
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John Michael Kachelmeyer for the degree ofMaster of Science in Geology presented on May 30, 1978 Title: BEDROCK GEOLOGY OF THE NORTHSAANICH-COBBLE HILL AREAS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Keith F./Oles The bedrock of the North Saanich-Cobble Hill areas consists of igneous and sedimentary rocks of Early Jurassic through Late Cretaceous age.Early Jurassic andesitic Bonanza Volcanics are intruded by Middle Jurassic Saanich Granodiorite plutonic rocksand dikes.Late Cretaceous Nanaimo Group clastic rocksnonconformably overlie these Jurassic units.The four oldest formations of the group (Comox, Has lam, Extension-Protection, and Cedar District) are exposed within the study area. The Nanaimo Group formations were deposited within a subsid- ing marine basin (the Nanaimo Basin) located to the east ofsouthern Vancouver Island.Uplift of pre-Late Cretaceous basement rocks on Vancouver Island to the west and on mainland British Columbia tothe east of the basin created rugged, high-relief source areasthat were chemically weathered in a warm tropical climate and mechanically eroded by high-energy braided stream systems. The Comox and Has lam sediments were deposited in response to a continual transgression of a Late Cretaceous seaway overthis rugged terrain.Braided stream systems trending north-northwest into the basin deposited Comox (Benson Member) gravelsand sands onto a high-energy, cliffed shoreline.Erosion of the highlands and transgression of the marine seaway resulted in subduedtopographic relief and the deposition of sediments by low-energymeandering streams within a river traversed coastal plain, followedby silt and clay deposition in tidal flat and lagoonal environments,and finally by sand deposition in a higher energy barrier bar environment.Contin- ued marine transgression resulted in the depositionof massive marine mudstones and cyclic sandstone to mudstone sequencesof the Has lam Formation.
