Title of Thesis/Dissertation : Instant Towns in Bri.tish Columbia: 1964 to 1972. Author : (signature) John H. Bradburv (name) ABSTRACT. I Resorirce towns in canacia have traditionally been company towns ovned and controlled by resource extraction companies. In British Columbia, between 1962 and 1972, the provincial qovernment attempted to replace company towns with a new urban form called "instant towns". This was to be achieved by means of special legislation under Section 10A of the MUNICIPAL ACT which legislated for local government, a municipal f ranchiae and new planned communities. In the ten years followirtg the initiation of the instant towns programme in British Columbia there appeared to he few changes in the social and economic milieu, for high labour turnover, alienation, and a sense of impermanence, instability and isolation all remained apparent, although it was these conditions which the creation of instant t.owns was meant to address. This thesis examines sane of the reasons why inany of these socio-economic characteristics persisted in the new instant towns, as wall as the reasons behind the creation of the new settlements, and the expectations of those who created and planned them. The instant town legislation which brought about the changes in local arranqements, town plaris and the ownership of housing, could not ensure that the problems associated with older company towns would disappear. The problems, includinq reliance on a single industry base, male dominance of tha workforce, isolation problems and instlbility of tenure, \ iii resulted not from matters addressed by the legislation and the 1 / town planners, hut from the very nature and the location of the enterprise in isolated areas. A refinement of the metropolis-hin terland model is used as a framework for discussion of the poiitical economy of British columbia in which the instant towns were created and shapad. he major elements of metropolitan control over the sh3pe and rate of development in the hinterland include the corporations, financial institutions and the state. In this thesis these three elements are defined as, first the multinatinnal corporations which were invited into Rritish Columbia between 1952 and 1972 to participat~in the expansion of resource explcit 3tion in thd province; sc-conci, f inancid institutions such as ~anadianbanks in Toronto and Horitreal, ' and foreign banks in New York, Europe and Japan; and third, the province of British rolumbia which had a Social Credit government under Premier W. A. C. Bennett throughout this - period. Discussion of the political economy enables an .~niilysisto bo made of the interlocking n3ture of these three elements, illustratinq how the corporations and banks were I i primarily interested in resource exploitntion and stable i 'r j places ir, which to invest, and the state was largely co~cerned:' with fulfillinq a facilitative role by providing necessary / j physical inf rastr,ucture and access to capital. One of the major reasons for the systemic problems of the company towns and instant towns was the continued dominance of the British Columbia resource 'extraction economy by large and increasinqly multinational corporations. This meant that towns and companies were subordinate and beholden to decisions made by the corporate directors and their management staffs, not at the local level but in major metropolitan centres including New ~ork,Toronto and Tokyo. The granting of local government dnd the enfranchisement of the workforce, generally served to change the focus of the costs of developing housing and physical in•’rastructure fro& the companies to the town reside~ts. The responsibility of running the town was transferred to the local government, but the companies, whether or not they desirad it, still maintained a form of control aver the growth, viability and longevity of the communities by virtue of their control over housing stocks, development land, their influsnce on municipal councils, and their hold over the tnajor source of capital and the source of income of the workforce. The raison dletre of the instant towns was no different than that of the older company towns. Labour turnover contiriued at high rates and the demographic profiles -- and age structures were distorted. For these reasons it is argued that the instant towns were simply a modern version of company towns, Indeed, the instant towns, with their planned appearance, their buildinq codes, their urban appsaranco'and mostly urban workforce, and their larqely wags labour population, I -8'I I are an imprint in th~hinterlnnd, of tha corporate and governm2nt ' identities in th~metropolis that cr+ated them, and that continue to dominate and control them.

  • Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
    Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) are pleased to announce the funding of the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. Geoscience BC’s Board has approved $530,000 for project activities, which is being matched by $400,000 from ICET, for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation has provided generous support for stakeholder engagement in the project development phase, through the Campbell River Regional Economic Pilot initiative. “This project was a definite priority coming out of the recent Regional Economic Investment Pilot in Campbell River,” said Pat Bell, B.C. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. “It’s easy to see why because mining presents tremendous opportunity for job creation in B.C. and for the north Vancouver Island. The data being collected is essential to moving forward and delivering on the potential for job creation in the region.” The NVI Exploration Geoscience Project will generate new geoscience data for northern Vancouver Island, near the communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice and Zeballos. This new regional information will help attract mineral exploration interest and investment, increase the understanding of the mineral potential, and provide local First Nations and communities with more information on the geology of the region. “On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Island Coastal Economic Trust, I am pleased to participate in the announcement for this project, which is the Trust's first opportunity in the mining sector,” said Camela Tang, ICET Vice Chair.

The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.
