The club is nothing without you. We need you to come on trips. Don't you want to escape for the weekend - escape from school in the winter and from work in the summer? Come and feel with us the freedom of the outdoors, the beauty of the mount­ ains, the power of the sea, the comradeship of your friends in the club. You can go hiking and climbing without us but remember that we need you. We need you to teach begin­ ners how to go safely into the mountains. We need the beginners to show their spirit for it can rejuvenate ours. The club is built on the strength of people. For a first year student the club can add a personal touch to an otherwise impersonal university. For a grad­ uate student new to U.B.C, the club can help them make new friends. Everyone in the club who gets involved learns how to interact with other people and form last­ ing friendships. If you get involved with the bureau­ cracy of the club, you can leavn how to organize; organ­ ize your time and the club's money. You*will learn how to make decisions and communicate effectively. There are all skills which will be great attributes to you in later life. I will continue to help the club for my nest two years at U.B.C. in any way that I can. i EDITOR'S MESSAGE From rain, sleet, snov and sunshine 1976. Here it is.

Frank Baumann 116 SOCIAL EVENTS The year started off veil (actually it never ended - we vers too busy wedding-partying all summer!) with the Su-r.-sr Reunion. Party. It was held at John Leighton's ar. a the few who attended had a great time swimming and eating. _:.-..- •': V. ? '-'as or.ce again held up at the Whistler Cabin ah cut 120 r.ev and old members gathered to become indoctrinated into V.C.C. ways - including salty-dogging ar.d singing until soce god-awful hour of the morning. --ar.v y successful hikes, work hikes and reck climbs took rlace, over the weekend. The best, shortest, and slack­ est was led by Julie Curom to the Tantalus Lookout (actually we walked down the road a little ways). Tr.g Hallowe'en Party was held in town this year (at S.U.E.) and the sixty or so people who attended had the usual good time. The Christmas Party was not very well attended (probably) due to a mistake in the address) but those who were there certainly enjoyed Ava Gerencher's friend's lovely hous e. The Christmas Reunion Party was held at the Vice ?r-;-3 iden t' s hcie (that's me) this year. Some 90 people crowded into the living room to socialize and look at the slides and photos from the Christmas trips - including about fifty million from Little Yohoho. The highlight of the evening was doing a salty dog, Virginia Reel and Polka on the front lawn. A Square Dancing Party was held in February. We had a great tine learning the various steps under the direction of our expert instructer, Ray. The Banouet hasn't happened, so I can't write about it yet. However, I expect to see most of you there - March 18 in the Dogwood Room of the P.N.E. 1. GRAD NEWS 1976-77 COMINGS AND GOINGS ...

The purpose of a CRA is to: • Consider all known hazards that may trigger a risk event and impact communities of the SLRD; • Identify what would trigger a risk event to occur; and • Determine what the potential impact would be if the risk event did occur. The results of the CRA inform risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation.

  • A Story from Seymour Mountain's History
    A story from Seymour Mountain’s history When you hike or snowshoe out to the bluffs we call Dog Mountain, do you stop at First Lake, look up and see the red cabin and wonder, “Why is it there? Who uses it? How do I get to it?” One day John Heinonen was talking about it with Louise Archibald, a librarian with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Imagine his surprise when she said, “My uncle and his friends built that cabin.” Her uncle, Edward Rayner, is now in his 80s and lives in Roberts Creek. John encouraged Louise to visit her Cabin on Seymour Mountain, circa late 1940s uncle to learn more about the cabin and its history. Louise has fond memories of the years when her family used to go for hikes and blueberry picking on Seymour Mountain. ”The hike to the cabin was a lot of fun with all the cousins and sometimes friends along too. In groups of up to 30 of all ages, we’d have simple picnics in and around the cabin with the little lake below it and the whiskey jacks begging for food. There were lots of places for kids to climb and it has such a gorgeous view, you always felt wonderful after a day like that.” Louise interviewed Uncle Ted on February 6, 2011. Here are his recollections. Ted started hiking up Seymour Mountain1 when he was 15 years old (about 1938). He and four friends around the same age, who all lived near each other in the Vancouver Heights2 area, would cycle to the bottom of the mountain near Deep Cove, hide their bikes in the bush and hike all the way up the mountain by trail.

  • BMN Hike: Grouse Mountain Via Mackay Creek
    BMN HIKE REPORT Grouse Mountain via Mackay Creek (May 16, 2015) by Mark Johnston On the Mackay Creek Trail. Chloe Tu photo. At the start of the May long weekend, five us of gathered for a return trip to the North Shore mountains, this time a hike up much visited Grouse Mountain but by a route that sees relatively little traffic. Our leaders, Rich and Janet, were familiar with the trail; for the rest of us it would be a new path. It was a cloudy day and as the ceiling was fairly low, we wondered whether, higher up the mountain, we would have any views. Our plan was to hike the Mackay Creek Trail to Simic’s Trail and then proceed along the Cut ski run until we reached “The Peak of Vancouver.” Parking at the base of the Skyride, we headed east along the power line right-of-way toward Mackay Creek. As we walked, we took notice of dame’s rocket and buttercup in bloom and enjoyed occasional views of Greater Vancouver. As it would turn out, these would be our only distant views until our descent via the aerial tramway three hours later. Just past the bridge over West Mackay Creek, we left the power line, climbed up the gravelly bank and entered the forest. Initially we stayed quite close to the rocky creek bed, but soon our trail veered east, away from the creek, and after awhile we came within earshot of the East Mackay tributary. Never approaching as closely to this branch, we stayed high on the ridge between tributaries and gained elevation steadily with a minimum of switchbacks.
