  • Lillooet Between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. Van Eijk First
    Lillooet between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Although most details of the grammatical and lexical structure of Lillooet put this language firmly within the Interior branch of the Salish language family, Lillooet also shares some features with the Coast or Central branch. In this paper we describe some of the similarities between Lillooet and one of its closest Interior relatives, viz., Shuswap, and we also note some similarities be­ tween Lillooet and Sechelt, one of Lillooet' s western neighbours but belonging to the Coast branch. Particular attention is paid to some obvious loans between Lillooet and Sechelt. 1 Introduction Lillooet belongs with Shuswap to the Interior branch of the Salish language family, while Sechelt belongs to the Coast or Central branch. In what follows we describe the similarities and differences between Lillooet and both Shuswap and Sechelt, under the following headings: Phonology (section 2), Morphology (3), Lexicon (4), and Lillooet-Sechelt borrowings (5). Conclusions are given in 6. I omit a comparison between the syntactic patterns of these three languages, since my information on Sechelt syntax is limited to a brief text (Timmers 1974), and Beaumont 1985 is currently unavailable to me. Although borrowings between Lillooet and Shuswap have obviously taken place, many of these will be impossible to trace due to the close over-all resemblance between these two languages. Shuswap data are mainly drawn from the western dialects, as described in Kuipers 1974 and 1975. (For a description of the eastern dialects I refer to Kuipers 1989.) Lillooet data are from Van Eijk 1997, while Sechelt data are from Timmers 1973, 1974, 1977.

  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).

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.
