I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial, gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8. Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.

  • WELCOME to a NEW ERA for APEX Dear Owners at Apex
    #ApexMountain ApexResort.com WELCOME TO A NEW ERA FOR APEX Dear Owners at Apex Mountain, As most of the owners of resort properties are likely aware, the ownership of Apex Mountain Resort changed hands this spring. I wanted to take an opportunity to introduce myself as the Managing Partner of this new group. My personal background is in senior leadership positions at Silver Star Mountain Resort, Sun Peaks Resort, top Resorts in Whistler and the board of Tourism of British Columbia. I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity to support this new group to maximize the future potential for Apex Mountain Resort. Change can often lead to concern and speculation about what might happen in the future, so I thought this would be a good chance to highlight some of the initiatives currently happening and the direction our new group would like to see for the resort. Envisioning When our group purchased Apex Resort, we had some ideas on how the resort’s long-term potential could be achieved. However, we are certain that the best direction for the Resort will be attained through a shared vision with all stakeholders. Over the next few months, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on the issues important to you, and how the resort might look in the future. Concurrent with this, we have officially notified the Mountains Resorts Branch of our intent to seek a new Master Development Agreement with the BC Government which will allow for future ski area and resort expansion. As well, we will soon be meeting with First Nations peoples and getting their input on direction and requesting their support for this endeavor.

  • Bennett's Dam Projects – Power to the Lower Mainland
    CHAPTER 7 – Bennett's Dam Projects – Power to the Lower Mainland DURING THE 1960s British Columbia undertook what remains the greatest building project in its history, dwarfing previous undertakings such as the Kitimat Smelter and the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The Portage Mountain (now W.A.C. Bennett) dam on the Peace River and the Mica Creek dam on the Columbia River were each in their own right what are now called “world class” projects, but building them at the same time made them among the most ambitious construction projects in history. When it was officially opened in 1968 the Portage Mountain Dam was the largest dam in the western world: only the Soviet Union’s Bratsk hydro station dam in Siberia was larger. Mica Creek, when its dam was completed in 1973, was the site of the largest earth-filled dam anywhere in the world. The dam projects were a product of Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s determination to develop British Columbia’s natural resources as quickly as possible. As noted in Chapter 3, Bennett believed that it was his government’s job to build the infrastructure which would make it possible for private corporations to develop the province’s natural resources. But while he began building highways almost from the moment he came to power, it was not until the 1960s that he was presented with an opportunity to undertake the massive, and massively expensive, hydro-electric projects of which he dreamed. BENNETT’S TWO RIVERS POLICY One obvious place to build the kind of dams Bennett wanted was in the Kootenays, on the Canadian side of the Columbia River.
