A Review of Marine Recreational Vessel Activities in Burrard Inlet A Review of Marine Recreational Vessel Activities in Burrard Inlet Prepared for: Trans Mountain Expansion Project Prepared by: Valiance Maritime Consultants Limited 6341 Buckingham Drive Burnaby, BC V5E 2A8 August 15, 2014 Executive Summary The Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP) application to the National Energy Board (NEB) to increase capacity on the Trans Mountain pipeline system, with commensurate future increase in the number of tanker calls into Burrard Inlet to load at an expanded Westridge marine terminal, has raised concerns among recreational boaters about the safety of these small vessels. There is a long history of safe marine transportation of oil within Burrard Inlet and, similarly, a long history of recreational vessel use in this area. All mariners are expected to follow established rules for ships and boats that ensure the safety of all mariners. The safety regime in place today for both existing tanker traffic and the operation of the Westridge terminal has been developed and continually improved since the terminal entered service in 1953. The regime is based on regulatory requirements, local experience and international best practices. It is comprehensive, well established, and has proven to be effective. However, data on marine recreational traffic is not collected by or available from authorities. While information on recreational use of Burrard Inlet is provided in MCTRU Technical Report in Facilities Application and potential Project-related effects on recreational use are identified and assessed in Volume 8A, additional baseline information is provided given stakeholder feedback and interest. A review of marine recreational activities in Burrard Inlet shows that while over 5,250 boats may be at moorage within English Bay and Burrard Inlet, there is a seasonal pattern to the use of these vessels. On average, recreational boats spend considerable time at berth. When travelling on the water, these vessels are observed by Radar and Automatic Identification System (AIS), if fitted, by Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) and other vessels in the area. Several recommendations proposed by Trans Mountain are under review by the Termpol Review Committee that will, if accepted, further enhance the safety of all mariners in the central harbour. This includes demarcation of a shipping route between the Second Narrows and Port Moody, giving a wide berth to the expanded Westridge marine terminal. The dock complex itself will have navigation marks and lights, and the oil spill booms around the vessels will be marked in a similar fashion. This will ensure that all marine users are able to identify the area during day or night and keep clear. In addition, Trans Mountain has requested Transport Canada to expand outreach activities at marinas in order to improve the level of information amongst boaters in order to benefit all users of these waterways. It is concluded that current and already proposed future additional safeguards are sufficient to comprehensively mitigate potential effects of TMEP on marine recreational vessels.

As these small boats are most often not fitted with AIS equipment, it is not possible to judge their actual numbers. However, all vessel traffic, recreational or otherwise, is subject to all maritime traffic regulatory requirements, which are designed to ensure the safety of all users of marine transportation lanes. As they do today, operators of small vessels (mainly fishing and recreational vessels), as required by Transport Canada, are expected to continue to follow boating safe practices and the collision regulations, and to apply good seamanship when operating within Burrard Inlet. Trans Mountain engaged Det Norske Veritas (DNV) to complete a quantitative risk assessment (Volume 8C, Termpol 3.15) about the risks posed by increased tanker traffic in the region, to identify any increased probability of an oil spill from a project tanker navigating within Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) and the Salish Sea. Due to the lack of credible data about the movement of vessels not required to carry AIS equipment, the marine traffic simulations could not fully reflect the impact of increased commercial traffic on recreational boaters. DNV did confirm that because collisions with small boats could not cause sufficient damage to a double-hull tanker, there would be no change to the results of the quantitative risk assessment, which confirmed that with additional risk-reducing measures, the probability of a cargo oil spill of any size in the region would remain similar. Potential effects on marine recreation use have been assessed in Section 8A of Facilities Application, Section 4.3.11 Marine Commercial, Recreation and Tourism Use. Based on public and stakeholder feedback, Trans Mountain has elected to carry out a review of marine recreational use in Burrard Inlet to more comprehensively describe use patterns. This information will inform consideration of whether to propose further safeguards beyond those already recommended in the TMEP application. Besides carrying out a detailed assessment of marinas and boating facilities, individuals with seafaring experience were engaged to observe the flow of recreational vessel traffic in Burrard Inlet over several weeks in the summer of 2014. Method Information was sought from CCG, Transport Canada and Port Metro Vancouver about marine recreational vessel use and none of

  • Erasing Indigenous Indigeneity in Vancouver
    Erasing Indigenous Indigeneity in Vancouver J EAN BARMAN1 anada has become increasingly urban. More and more people choose to live in cities and towns. Under a fifth did so in 1871, according to the first census to be held after Canada C 1867 1901 was formed in . The proportion surpassed a third by , was over half by 1951, and reached 80 percent by 2001.2 Urbanization has not benefited Canadians in equal measure. The most adversely affected have been indigenous peoples. Two reasons intersect: first, the reserves confining those deemed to be status Indians are scattered across the country, meaning lives are increasingly isolated from a fairly concentrated urban mainstream; and second, the handful of reserves in more densely populated areas early on became coveted by newcomers, who sought to wrest them away by licit or illicit means. The pressure became so great that in 1911 the federal government passed legislation making it possible to do so. This article focuses on the second of these two reasons. The city we know as Vancouver is a relatively late creation, originating in 1886 as the western terminus of the transcontinental rail line. Until then, Burrard Inlet, on whose south shore Vancouver sits, was home to a handful of newcomers alongside Squamish and Musqueam peoples who used the area’s resources for sustenance. A hundred and twenty years later, apart from the hidden-away Musqueam Reserve, that indigenous presence has disappeared. 1 This article originated as a paper presented to the Canadian Historical Association, May 2007. I am grateful to all those who commented on it and to Robert A.J.

  • George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River
    George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, December 2018. The ‘Colony of British Columbia’ was proclaimed at Fort Langley on November 19th,1858. In early 1859, Colonel Richard Clement Moody, RE, selected the site for the capital of the colony on the north side of the Fraser River where the river branches. The Royal Engineers established their camp at ‘Sapperton’ and proceeded to layout the future townsite of ‘Queensborough’ (later ‘New Westminster’). On July 17th, 1860, ‘New Westminster’ incorporated to become the first municipality in Western Canada. During the winter of 1858–59, the Fraser River froze over for several months and Colonel Moody realized his position when neither supply boat nor gun-boat could come to his aid in case of an attack. As a consequence, Colonel Moody built a “road” to Burrard Inlet in the summer of 1859 as a military expediency, in order that ships might be accessible via salt water. The “road” was initially just a pack trail that was built due north from ‘Sapperton’ in a straight line to Burrard Inlet. In 1861, the pack trail was upgraded to a wagon road ― known today as ‘North Road’. (1) The ‘Pitt River Road’ from New Westminster to ‘Pitt River Meadows’ was completed in June 1862. (2) In the summer of 1859, (3)(4) the first European family to settle in the Coquitlam area arrived on the schooner ‘Rob Roy’ on the west side of the Pitt River to the area known as ‘Pitt River Meadows’ (today ‘Port Coquitlam’) — Alexander McLean (1809–1889), his wife (Jane), and their two small boys: Alexander (1851–1932) and Donald (1856–1930).
