  • NEWS RELEASE COVID-19 Parksville-Qualicum Beach
    NEWS RELEASE emergencyoceanside.ca June 15, 2020 ass COVID-19 Parksville-Qualicum Beach Community Update As our weather improves (we can hope) and with the easing of our isolation, we are able to get outside more and slowly expand our personal bubbles. We recognize many of our residents are concerned with returning to normal too quickly but if we continue to stay vigilant, limit our contact with others, maintain physical distance, practice good hand hygiene and stay home when sick, we will continue to weather this pandemic together. We are encouraged by the recent information and statistics on COVID 19 rates from the province that show the community’s efforts have dramatically reduced the spread of the virus in our region and on Vancouver Island. As we work through this next phase of the pandemic and a safe transition to Phase 3 in the provincial Restart Plan, the EOC will remain at Level 1 activation and continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation for our region. Ongoing, the EMO enewsletter will be distributed monthly rather than weekly, on the second Tuesday of each month. When relevant COVID-19 related information becomes available, please know we will pass along to you in a timely manner. Thank you for signing up for this EMO newsletter which will now include such topics as emergency preparedness and fire smart info. We’d love to hear from you; ideas and input welcome to [email protected] We recognize this summer will be very different for our residents. Perhaps this summer is an opportunity to be a tourist in our own region, creating new summer adventures right at home.

Brooks Aquatic Environmental Sciences 644 Old Eaglemount Road Port Townsend, WA 98368 Phone: (360) 732-4464 FAX: (360) 732-4464 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A jointly sponsored study by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans, the Province of British Columbia and the wood treatment industry was undertaken in Sooke Basin, Vancouver Island to evaluate the impact of creosote treated wood on the marine environment. The primary purpose of this study was to provide a scientific basis for establishing guidelines on the use and placement of creosote treated wood in sensitive marine aquatic habitats under ‘worst case’ conditions. The study focused on the chemical and biological effects from newly installed six- piling dolphins constructed with used pilings treated by conventional methods and pilings freshly treated with techniques designed to produce a cleaner and more environmentally sensitive product by placing them in a natural undisturbed location, free from outside sources of contamination.

  • A GUIDE to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013)
    A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) INTRODUCTORY NOTE A Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia is a provincial listing of First Nation, Métis and Aboriginal organizations, communities and community services. The Guide is dependent upon voluntary inclusion and is not a comprehensive listing of all Aboriginal organizations in B.C., nor is it able to offer links to all the services that an organization may offer or that may be of interest to Aboriginal people. Publication of the Guide is coordinated by the Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch of the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation (MARR), to support streamlined access to information about Aboriginal programs and services and to support relationship-building with Aboriginal people and their communities. Information in the Guide is based upon data available at the time of publication. The Guide data is also in an Excel format and can be found by searching the DataBC catalogue at: http://www.data.gov.bc.ca. NOTE: While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information, we have been experiencing some technical challenges while updating the current database. Please contact us if you notice an error in your organization’s listing. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work towards resolving these challenges. If there have been any changes to your organization’s contact information please send the details to: Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation PO Box 9100 Stn Prov.
