LOUIS CLAXTON, CHIEF of TSAWOUT INDIAN BAND, on behalf of himself and all other members of TSAWOUT INDIAN BAND (Plaintiffs (Respondents)) V. SAANICHTON MARINA LTD. and THE QUEEN in right of BRITISH COLUMBIA (Defendants (Appellants)) [Indexed as: Claxton V. Saanichton Marina Ltd.] British Columbia Court of Appeal, Hinkson, Lambert and Locke JJ.A., March 30, 1989 E.R.A. Edwards, Q.C., and G.P Wallace, for the appellant Crown P.J. Pearlman, for the appellant Saanichton Marina Ltd. M.L. Mandell and S.A. Guenther, for the respondent In 1983 the province of British Columbia issued a licence of occupation to Saanichton Marina Ltd. for the purpose of constructing and operating a marina and breakwater in Saanichton Bay on the coast of Vancouver Island. The Tsawout Band, successors to the Saanich Indians, brought an action to stop the project on the grounds that it would be harmful to its right to fish which was recognized and guaranteed by the Saanich Treaty of 1852. The treaty was in the form of a deed by which the Hudson's Bay Company purported to purchase the aboriginal land rights of the Saanich Indians, but reserving to them the right to carry on their fisheries as formerly. The whole of the Bay was part of their traditional fishing grounds. At trial ([1987] 4 C.N.L.R. 48) a permanent injunction halting the project was granted against both the company and the Crown. The company and the Crown appealed. Held: Appeal dismissed. Permanent injunction against the Crown dissolved. 1. The 1852 agreement is a treaty within the meaning of s.88 of the Indian Act, R.S.C.

Habitat History and the Decline of the Vancouver Island Marmot (Marmota Vancouverensis)
Habitat History and Decline of Vancouver Island Marmot Hebda et al. Habitat History and the Decline of the Vancouver Island Marmot (Marmota vancouverensis) RICHARD J. HEBDA1,2,3,4, OMAR McDADI2, AND DAVID MAZZUCCHI1,3 1Royal British Columbia Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC, V8W 9W2, Canada, email [email protected] 2Department of Biology, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 1700, Victoria, BC, V8W 2Y2, Canada 3School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 3055 STN CSC, Victoria, BC, V8W 3P6, Canada 4School of Environmental Studies, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 1700, Victoria, BC, V8W 2Y2, Canada Abstract: Vegetation changes in subalpine and alpine habitats on Vancouver Island may have had a role in today’s low numbers of Vancouver Island marmots (Marmota vancouverensis). We describe a fecal dietary analysis and approximately 2000 years of dynamic vegetation history of marmot habitat. Twelve fecal samples collected between May and August 2003 in the Mount Washington area were analyzed for pollen and spores to determine marmot diet. The main pollen types in the feces were derived from non-arboreal plants associated with open environments, including Ericaceae, Liliaceae, Rosaceae, and Cyperaceae family members. High-resolution pollen and spore analysis of wetland sediments collected at Heather Mountain, a locality presently inhabited by marmots, strongly suggest that subalpine forest vegetation is negatively correlated with early seral and meadow indicators, and early seral stages are positively correlated with meadow taxa. Eight times in the last 2000 years, open plant communities dominated the landscape. We infer that meadow/open parkland or transitional environments prevailed throughout approximately 78% of the sampling interval, with high percentages of alder, suggesting that this ecosystem was maintained by disturbances, likely fire.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.
