Parks and protected areas are designed to The global Convention on Biodiversity commits protect the ecological values of Canada’s signatories (including Canada) to not only terrestrial, aquatic, marine and cultural sites significantly increase designation of terrestrial while providing incredible opportunities for and marine protected areas by 2020 but to recreation. In British Columbia, there are more ensure these areas are “effectively and 8 than 1000 areas designated as Provincial Parks, equitably managed” . More specifically, it commits signatories to evaluate and improve Protected Areas, Conservancies or Ecological the effectiveness of protected areas Reserves. Across Canada, there are a number of management. In 2018, the Canadian National initiatives aimed at enhancing and developing Advisory Panel on achieving Canada’s networks of protected areas. While increases in conservation vision recommended that all quantity of area protected is important, the Canadian protected areas jurisdictions complete scientific literature shows that it is the quality of management effectiveness evaluations for protected areas that matters more than 100% of their areas by 2030.

  • Self-Guiding Geology Tour of Stanley Park
    Page 1 of 30 Self-guiding geology tour of Stanley Park Points of geological interest along the sea-wall between Ferguson Point & Prospect Point, Stanley Park, a distance of approximately 2km. (Terms in bold are defined in the glossary) David L. Cook P.Eng; FGAC. Introduction:- Geomorphologically Stanley Park is a type of hill called a cuesta (Figure 1), one of many in the Fraser Valley which would have formed islands when the sea level was higher e.g. 7000 years ago. The surfaces of the cuestas in the Fraser valley slope up to the north 10° to 15° but approximately 40 Mya (which is the convention for “million years ago” not to be confused with Ma which is the convention for “million years”) were part of a flat, eroded peneplain now raised on its north side because of uplift of the Coast Range due to plate tectonics (Eisbacher 1977) (Figure 2). Cuestas form because they have some feature which resists erosion such as a bastion of resistant rock (e.g. volcanic rock in the case of Stanley Park, Sentinel Hill, Little Mountain at Queen Elizabeth Park, Silverdale Hill and Grant Hill or a bed of conglomerate such as Burnaby Mountain). Figure 1: Stanley Park showing its cuesta form with Burnaby Mountain, also a cuesta, in the background. Page 2 of 30 Figure 2: About 40 million years ago the Coast Mountains began to rise from a flat plain (peneplain). The peneplain is now elevated, although somewhat eroded, to about 900 metres above sea level. The average annual rate of uplift over the 40 million years has therefore been approximately 0.02 mm.

  • Klinaklini Heli-Rafting Planning Your Trip…
    KLINAKLINI HELI-RAFTING PLANNING YOUR TRIP…. Thank you for choosing a R.O.A.M. wilderness rafting and hiking trip. We are very excited that you will be joining us for an unforgettable river trip through some of British Columbia’s most spectacular wilderness. In June of 1997, we put together an expedition team of professional guides for the first descent of this incredible mountain waterway. In August of the same year, we operated the first commercial trip with Men’s Journal magazine covering the event. In 1998, complete with supermodels, we operated the first all-woman descent in conjunction with the Donna Karan Corporation of New York and Marie Claire Magazine. Today, this carefully planned state- of-the-art expedition allows participants to travel where it was once unimaginable. If any of your questions remain unanswered, please don’t hesitate to call. We strive to fully prepare you for what to expect on your trip so you can spend your vacation thinking more about smelling the essence of a forest of old growth cedars or a field of Alpine wildflowers than whether or not you brought the right pair of shoes. The Terrain We Cover Rafting the Klinaklini River offers the adventurous traveller a bounty of images and experiences. Your rafting trip begins at the edge of the great interior plateau of British Columbia’s Chilcotin country, at Klinaklini Lake. This lake is a jewel encircled by pristine wilderness and it’s the perfect habitat for moose, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars and eagles. Enveloped by the peaks and canyons of the Coastal Range, you will be able to see Mt.
