  • Mount Revelstoke Glacier
    MOUNT REVELSTOKE NATIONAL PARK OF CANADA AND GLACIER NATIONAL PARK OF CANADA State of the Parks Report March 31, 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks State of the Parks Report (SOPR) provides an assessment of the state of ecological and cultural resources, and the first formal assessment of visitor experience and public education in two parks that represent a unique ecological region and cultural history in the national park system. The report also includes an assessment of the cultural resources in Rogers Pass National Historic Site, which is located within Glacier National Park. The primary purposes of the State of the Parks Report are to: • provide an analysis of the state of the two parks regarding the key elements of Parks Canada’s mandate, including ecological integrity, the protection of cultural resources, facilitation of memorable visitor experiences and public education; • report on the results of management actions in respect to these key elements; • provide key input to park management planning, and serve as a tool for decision-making with respect to issues associated with each of the mandate elements and their inter- relationships; and • communicate the state of these key elements to stakeholders and the public. The report is based on monitoring and research conducted by Parks Canada and external agencies. Information from existing monitoring and research programs was used to evaluate and rate the condition of a series of measures, which in turn were used to rate the suite of indicators presented in the following table. Since this report is based on existing research and monitoring programs that have been designed to meet a wide variety of management objectives, there are inevitable variations in data quality and quantity, and some information gaps exist.

  • Civic Groups, Ethnic Organizations, and Tourism Promotion in Revelstoke, BC, 1890-1920
    “A National Playground Both in Summer and Winter”: Civic Groups, Ethnic Organizations, and Tourism Promotion in Revelstoke, BC, 1890-1920 JENNY CLAYTON* In the years leading up to and during the First World War, civic organizations in the railway town of Revelstoke, British Columbia, diversified the economy by establishing a two-season tourist trade based on mountain scenery, outdoor recreation, and spectator sport. Before the war, progressive urban boosters and a mountaineering club well-connected to the province’s Public Works department successfully lobbied for a trail and an automobile road to the summit, as well as the establishment of a national park on Mt. Revelstoke. During the war, emphasis shifted to the promotion of winter sports, as residents of Scandinavian origin founded a ski club and organized an annual winter carnival to promote economic development and physical fitness. At a time when the loyalty of non-Anglophone immigrants was under question, and interned enemy aliens were forced to labour on the national park road, these activities also served to demonstrate Scandinavian-Canadians’ loyalty and value to Canada. Au cours des années précédant la Première Guerre mondiale et pendant celle- ci, des organismes locaux de Revelstoke, centre ferroviaire de la Colombie- Britannique, ont diversifié l’économie en mettant en place une activité touristique étalée sur deux saisons et fondée sur les paysages de montagne, le plein air et le sport passif. Avant la guerre, des progressistes partisans de l’expansion urbaine et un club d’alpinisme bien branchés sur le ministère des Travaux publics de la province avaient fait pression avec succès pour la construction d’un sentier et d’une route pour automobiles allant jusqu’au sommet du mont Revelstoke, de même que pour l’établissement d’un parc national sur cette montagne.
