Increasing competition for this scarce natural resource may lead to conflict between various water users if sustainable and equitable “rules of the game” are not developed by local stake- holders and government officials. Before we can set these rules, we need to understand the dynamics of how everything in the river basin fits together and interacts with each other, and we need to have accurate facts regarding river flow regimes and water use. Page 6 Process Adopted Since it is deemed important to obtain stakeholder buy- in to the process of strategic water management planning, the Nicola process was based on reasonably extensive public involvement. The initial focus was placed on visioning related to how we can best achieve optimal solutions to water management problems. As we learned more about the system it was possible to identify important water related issues and prac- tices. We then prioritized these issues and started work on formulating practical strategies and solutions to arrive at where we need to be in future. In other words, we have to “chart our water future” in the Nicola River Basin. The Phase 1 study has only been intended to be a very brief scoping exercise which culminated in a stakeholder workshop that was held in Mer- ritt on October 14 & 15, 2004.

BLACKSTOCK RHONDA MCALLISTER Abstract Although the First Nations Elders from the interior of southern British Columbia, Canada, recall times when grass was “belly-high to a horse,” today they worry about the deteriorated state of the grasslands. Using ethnographic and historical research methods, this paper documents recognized First Nations experts’ historical memory of the grasslands. Based on the ethnographic accounts, this paper also attempts to reconstruct the effects of colonization on the grassland ecology and First Nations culture. Secondary sources such as early settlers’ accounts and current grassland ecology research are used to augment the testimony of the experts. Two eras are described: 1) Pre-contact era (the three hundred years prior to contact); and 2) Post-contact era (1846-present).

Department of Zoology The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 3, Canada. ABSTRACT Vertical distribution and onshore movement of maturing kokanee were studied by means of extensive gill net sets in Nicola Lake between 1958 and 1961. In late spring of 1959 maturing kokanee were found largely in the upper 30 feet of the lake but gradually dispersed to occupy all depths to 100 feet by mid-summer. A diel vertical migration occurred in which matur• ing kokanee moved surfaceward during the day and downward at night in 1959. In 1961 the reverse condition was observed wherein kokanee avoided areas of bright illumination during the day but moved surfaceward at night. No effect on vertical distribution of kokanee by extensive and rapid fluctua• tions of the thermocline, initiated by wind induced seiches, was noted in 1959 or 1961.

  • Geological Report on the Stump Lake Property Nicola Mining Division
    Geological Report on the Stump Lake Property Nicola Mining Division British Columbia N.T.S. 921/8W Latitude SO0 20’ N, Longitude 120° 20’ W Braniff Gold Corporation Suite 501- 905 West Pender St. Vancouver, B.C. V6C lL6 by Calvin Church, P.Geo. Vancouver, B.C. June 20,199s Summary The Stump Lake property is a polymetallic precious metal bearing high level epithermal showing located in the Nicola Mining Division (NTS 921/8W) in south central British Columbia. Silver rich veins were also mined for gold, lead and zinc, over short periods, from the Mary Reynolds claim since 1889. Late Triassic volcaniclastic rocks belonging to the Nicola Group underlie the entire property and were accreated as pert of the Quesnelia Terrane which forms part of the Intermontane tectonic belt. The eastern facies of the Nicola group outcrops in the central and northern parts of the property and is represented by augite porphyritic flow and breccias. Mineralized quartz-carbonate sulphide veins in the Stump Lake camp are north trending, dip steeply east and contain abundant pyrite, galena, sphalerite and tetrabedrite. The mineralization on the property is aligned subparallel to north-northeast trending regional structures (Quilchena and Stump Lake Faults) which resulted from Tertiary extentional tectonism. Similar regional tectonic trends prevalent in Tertiary time are the primary cause of other deep-seated epithermal precious metal deposits in British Columbia. Anomalous soil geochemistry and Induced Polarization geophysical surveys have been successful in outlining mineralized veins on the property. Braniff Gold Corpration completed a soil geochemical survey over the centra1 portion of the claims in October 1997.

    Additional Testing for Contaminants in Fish Used by First Nation Members in the Okanagan Basin Author: Tatiana Kozlova, PhD, RPBio Okanagan Nation Alliance Fisheries Department Prepared for: BC Regional First Nations Environmental Contaminants Environmental Health Services First Nations & Inuit Health, Health Canada June 2009 Okanagan Nation Alliance 3255 C Shannon Lake Road, Westbank, BC V4T 1V4 Phone: (250) 707-0095 Fax: (250) 707-0166 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To continue testing for contaminants in fish used by the Okanagan peoples, burbot, rainbow trout, kokanee and whitefish (55 fish in total) were collected in 2007-2009, and analyses for total metals, mercury, methyl mercury, PCBs, PBDEs and pesticides were performed. This report combines results from two projects, one completed in 2007 and the other in 2008. For the 2007 project, 7 burbot were collected (1 fish from Skaha Lake, 1 fish from Douglas Lake, 2 fish from Nicola Lake, and 3 fish from Okanagan Lake). Tissue samples were taken from each fish and sent to the labs for a total metals scan, total mercury and methyl mercury, PCBs, PBDEs, and pesticides scan. For the 2008 project, ONA Fisheries Department received from the Upper Nicola Indian Band 7 burbot (6 from Nicola Lake and 1 from Douglas Lake) and 31 kokanee (8 from Nicola Lake and 23 from Douglas Lake). Tissue samples were taken from each fish and sent to the labs for the same tests as in 2007 - except for methyl mercury which was not performed in 2008 because of budget limitations. As a second part of the 2008 project, ONA Fisheries Department caught 8 whitefish from Skaha Lake and 2 rainbow trout from Osoyoos Lake, as discussed with the Penticton Indian Band.
