Always Includes Flights Day 2: Vancouver (B) No Fuss, Easy Booking Today is a full day to either relax or explore Vancouver at your own pace! Process Day 3: Vancouver – Othello Tunnels – Kelowna (B) This morning after breakfast, we leave Vancouver behind us and make our way across 19 May 2018 British Columbia towards the town of Hope. Enroute, we visit the famous Othello 26 May 2018 Tunnels. The Othello Tunnels are a series of old train tunnels and bridges that cut 02 June 2018 09 June 2018 through the solid granite walls and pass over the wild Coquihalla River. They are 28 July 2018 located just east of the town of Hope, BC, in the Coquihalla Provincial Park. 04 August 2018 11 August 2018 The Coast Mountain Range proved quite a challenge to build a railway through and 18 August 2018 walking over the bridges in the Othello Tunnels area, it becomes quite evident how difficult it must have been. The sheer rock cliffs, the violently rushing water below, and the remoteness makes it seem incredible that any infrastructure could be built in such an environment, let alone over 100-years ago with limited engineering equipment. We then continue into the wine region of the Okanagan valley. “The Okanagan”, also known as the Okanagan Valley and sometimes as the Okanagan Country, is a region located in British Columbia, defined by the basin of Okanagan Lake and the Canadian (B) - Breakfast / (L) - Lunch / (D) - Dinner portion of the Okanagan River. It is part of the Okanagan Country, extending into the Flight United States as Okanogan Country. The region’s main hub is Kelowna, our resting Cruise place for tonight. Train Day 4: Kelowna – Revelstoke National Park - Yoho National Park - Golden (B) After breakfast, we embark on another day of sightseeing through the Trans-Canadian Highway taking us through some of Canada’s awe-inspiring National Parks. Our first park visit is to the mighty Revelstoke. Home to Canada's only inland cedar- hemlock rainforest, Mount Revelstoke is the only national park in Canada where you can summit a mountain five minutes from your vehicle. The Giant Cedars boardwalks invite us for a relaxing stroll, or we can enjoy a panoramic view & the meadows of subalpine wildflowers from the summit of Mount Revelstoke. There is truly not a bad view to be had over this scenic stretch of the Trans-Canadian Highway, and following further West from Revelstoke National Park, we pass through Yoho National Park. Cree exclamation of awe, “Yoho” applies perfectly to this park’s big peaks, expansive glaciers, and impressive waterfalls. Add Yoho’s famous fossils and it’s easy to see why this park in the Canadian Rockies is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although many of its highlights are accessible by road, Yoho is also a hiker’s dream and a railway buff’s delight. Tonight, we overnight in the small mountain town of Golden. Day 5: Golden – Columbia Icefields – Lake Louise – Banff Area (B) After breakfast, we start by heading north on the “Icefields Parkway”, an exciting excursion atop the Athabasca Glacier. To travel the Icefields Parkway is to experience one of Canada's national treasures. Stretching 232km (144mi.) through the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and broad sweeping valleys. Our destination on this parkway, is the “Columbia Icefield”, the largest icefield in the Rocky Mountains of North America. Optional Tour: This tour takes visitors onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier by Ice Explorer; a massive vehicle specially designed for glacial travel. An experienced driver-guide shares a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment during this one hour and 20 minute journey—Must be booked prior to departure. We leave the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre shortly after lunch, and head back South over the parkway towards Lake Louise, about a 2-hour drive. Lake Louise is often referred to as the ‘Diamond in the Wilderness’, and it is easy to see why. In the afternoon, we leave Lake Louise behind us and head for our final destination, Canmore. The rest of the evening is at leisure. Day 6: Banff Area (B) Today is a free day to relax and explore this incredible alpine region. Banff is only a short distance away from Canmore with regular shuttles operating every 30 minutes or why not journey out on one of Canmore’s famed walking trails ranging from short strolls to longer hikes through the Alpine scenery. Day 7: Canmore - Glacier National Park - Kamloops (B) Today, we leave the Rocky Mountains behind us and make our way to the town of Kamloops. However, not before visiting our 3rd National Park, Glacier. Glacier National Park, not be confused with its twin in Montana, USA, offers us exceptional alpine scenery and deep valleys filled with ancient forests. It’s a year-round paradise for nature lovers. We then continue our drive on the Trans-Canadian Highway towards the town of Kamloops. Located at the confluence of the South and North Thompson rivers in BC's semi -arid grasslands, Kamloops is true Canadian heart land at it’s best. Day 8: Kamloops – Whistler – Vancouver (B) After breakfast, we check-out of our hotel bright and early today, as an exciting journey back into British Columbia takes us to Whistler! After arriving in Whistler, you will enjoy some time off to eat or stroll around this picturesque mountain town. Whistler is only about 2 hours North of Vancouver, and roughly about 4 hours West of Kamloops. Over two million people visit Whistler annually, primarily for alpine skiing and snowboarding and, in Summer, mostly mountain biking. Its pedestrian village centre has won numerous design awards and Whistler has been voted among the top destinations in North America by major ski magazines since the mid-1990s. After lunch, we leave Whistler behind and continue straight onwards towards Vancouver. Along Highway 99, between Horseshoe Bay & Squamish, has to be one of the most beautiful roads in the area. With the ocean glimmering on the left and the mountains rising on the right, it is truly enchanting. Day 9: Vancouver – Embark on cruise (B,D) Today, your private motor coach will transport you from the hotel to the Vancouver cruise port to join your luxury 5 star Celebrity Cruise of the inside passage. After settling into your cabin, kick back and begin to enjoy everything your world class ship has to offer. Day 10: Inside Passage (scenic cruising) (B,L,D) Today, enjoy everything your ship has to offer as you sail between the Inside Passage. Today you’ll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the more protected Alaska Inside Passage. Home to diverse wildlife—orca, mountain goats, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters and more—the complex labyrinth of fjords and bays are where whales and sea lions find refuge during the summer months. Day 11: Icy Strait Point (B,L,D) For thousands of years, the Tlingit Indians have called this place home. Located near the city of Hoonah, and home to a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point also offers travelers the chance to view wildlife like humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears, or to explore monuments to the region’s fishing heritage. Day 12: Hubbard Glacier (B,L,D) Today you are in for a treat, spectacular views of the Hubbard Glacier. Hubbard Glacier is the largest calving glacier on the North American continent. The glacier routinely calves off icebergs as high as 10-story buildings, sending massive blocks of ice into the sea every few minutes. Day 13: Juneau (B,L,D) Today we are ported in Juneau. Here's your chance to take a glacial dogsled adventure via helicopter in Alaska's capital (optional). A city that gracefully balances frontier ruggedness with cosmopolitan flair. Mendenhall Glacier, a river of ice measuring 1.5 miles in width and over 6 miles in length, is part of Juneau's Icefield, 1500 square miles of ice that feeds 38 glaciers and ready for you to take a float trip on it. Day 14: Ketchikan (B,L,D) You've never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World', Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world's largest collection of totem poles. If you're up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous crab feast you can't resist (optional). Day 15: Inside Passage (scenic cruising) (B,L,D) Today, enjoy your luxury ship and the spectacular scenery as your ship makes to way through the narrow channel of the Inside Passage.

Early documents reveal inhabitants were members of three major bands of the Sinkaietk people (or Northern Okanagans). The territory of the Methow encompassed most of the drainage of the Methow River, though they moved throughout the valley during the seasons as they hunted, fished, and gathered (USBR 2008). During the extreme winters, they sheltered in large pit houses dug down several feet into the ground. Figure 1. Dwellings made of poles, rush mats and canvas were used by members of the Methow tribe.

  • History of the Club from a to Z
    , . THE KLAHHANE CLUB GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY 1965 founded in 1915 I DEDICATION To the men and women who founded this Club our sincere appreciation To future members may this Club give you the same deep contentment in the outdoors and the same abiding friendships that it has granted to its members both past and present II PREFACE The desire to explore remote places, to enjoy the out-of-doors, to conquer difficult terrain, and to share these triumphs with congenial souls, has been the motivating force behind the formation of many an outdoor club. So it has been with the Klahhane Club. From the enjoyment of our heritage of mountain, sea, and forest, comes renewed strength and a spirit of delight which carries over into our workaday world. This is an enthusiasm which may be aroused in early childhood or later in life, but once aroused, it continues to delight throughout life, even after hiking days are done. May I conclude with a quotation from Mr. Thomas Gupthill, who wrote in the first Klahhane Annual of 1918, "Favored is he who is privi- leged to join that charmed circle of congenial spirits who find inspiration and recreation in unfrequented aisle and far reaches." by Primrose Bred! III PRESIDENT'S REMARKS Klahhane or good-times-out-of-doors has meant more to me during my fifty years of membership than any other organization. Being president (usually when no one else would take it) has been only a small part of it. There is some- thing inexplainable about its lure. You leave your safe comfortable home to go and climb a mountain.

  • School Failed Coyote, So Fox Made a New School: Indigenous Okanagan Knowledge Transforms Educational Pedagogy
    SCHOOL FAILED COYOTE, SO FOX MADE A NEW SCHOOL: INDIGENOUS OKANAGAN KNOWLEDGE TRANSFORMS EDUCATIONAL PEDAGOGY by William Alexander Cohen M. Ed., Simon Fraser University, 1999 B. A. & Sc., University of Lethbridge, 1995 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Educational Studies) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) November, 2010 © William Alexander Cohen, 2010 ABSTRACT This project examines how Indigenous Okanagan knowledge embedded in traditional stories, life histories and people‘s practices, responsibilities and relationships are relevant and applicable to current and future Okanagan people‘s educational and cultural aspirations. Okanagan language proficiency, cultural and territorial knowledge and practice, provincial curriculum and world knowledge are all important elements in creating Okanagan identity. The focus of this thesis is to identify, understand and theorise the transforming potential of Okanagan pedagogy through the development of an Okanagan cultural and language immersion school where language and cultural knowledge recovery are key elements, and express a new and current understanding, through a Sqilxw- Okanagan, children centred, extended family pedagogical approach and curriculum structure for current application in schooling projects and communities. Indigenous and world knowledge that improves, complements, and is compatible with evolving Okanagan knowledge and practice is included to generate an interconnected web; a convergence that may be useful in Okanagan, Indigenous and world educational contexts. ii PREFACE My research is informed by Sqilxw-Okanagan epistemology which suggests knowledge is a continuously evolving web of relationships. By gathering bits of old and current knowledge, engaging in dialogue, action, and reflection, a new understanding emerges.
