Development Permit Areas This plan was prepared by J. G. Masterton, MCIP, Planning Consultant with the help and guidance of the Sproat Lake Advisory Planning Commission and with assistance of the staff of the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Planning Department and with substantial input from many local residents and groups, notably the Sproat Lake Community Association. Chapter 1 The Sproat Lake Official Community Plan Sproat Lake is located 13 km (8 miles) northwest of Port Alberni and adjacent to Highway 4, the road leading to the Pacific Rim National Park and the west coast communities of Tofino and Ucluelet. The Sproat Lake Official Community Plan is based on a long range vision developed by the community in 2003 and stemming from a previously-conducted “visioning” exercise. The plan is intended to guide and protect the community for the next 10 years after which there will be a plan review and adjustment to take into account subsequent changes in legislation, society and technology. The plan is a regional district bylaw adopted by the regional board expressing social, environmental and economic objectives and policies relating to the general form and character of future land use patterns and related servicing requirements. Sections 875-881 of the Local Government Act outline the required contents of the official community plan and section 882 of the Act defines the adoption procedures for official community plans. Adopted February 23rd, 2005 1 Adopted February 23rd, 2005 2 Chapter 2 Community Vision Any plan must be based on visions of the future, not necessarily tied to the past, with the ability to see opportunity and respond to the challenge. The “Sproat Lake Vision” as developed by the residents of the community in 2000 foresees a caring community where residents, businesses and visitors work together to maintain the natural environment , especially clean air and water, in a friendly, neighborhood atmosphere. People of all ages, abilities and cultures will interact together in a supportive way to work towards common goals. There will be a strong sense of community spirit with active resident participation towards the betterment of community well-being through improvements to both the community well-being and to the community’s facilities and services. The natural beauty of the area will be appreciated by all, recognizing the need for improved legislation to protect such beauty. A community focal point on Sproat Lake could increase community sense-of-place, such focus to include upland residential development, a marina, a community meeting place and new commercial activity combined with the continued presence of the water bomber base. Other aspects of the vision include protected lake and river foreshore, a community-based forest industry, low-impact outdoor recreational activities, increased housing choice especially for retirees, improved airport facilities and a strong economy based on a revitalized forest industry together with an enhanced tourist industry that caters to the region’s outstanding natural beauty in creating a local economic base that is truly sustainable. Adopted February 23rd, 2005 3 Adopted February 23rd, 2005 4 Chapter 3 Plan Goals Social - Creation of a vibrant, livable rural community with a variety of housing choice, rich in recreational opportunities, with convenient and affordable community services, an accessible lake frontage, open spaces and trails and with the provision of community services to expansion areas in a cost-effective manner. Environmental - Protection of and enhancement of the community’s unique environmental assets of lakes, wild mountains, abundant wildlife and fish resources, old growth forests, estuarine environments, plentiful freshwater rivers and streams, with the over-riding goal of increased environmental sustainabiIity while preserving and expanding the current parks system Economic - The provision of a socially balanced community with a diverse economic base that is not over dependent on primary resources but that recognizes the challenges and the opportunities of the new economy, especially the important role of environmental and cultural tourism, yet supporting the confirmation and strengthening of traditional primary industries such as agriculture and forestry. Transportation - Encourage the creation of a cost effective and environmentally sensitive transportation system that caters to residents, visitors and businesses alike in the provision of transportation choice. Adopted February 23rd, 2005 5 Adopted February 23rd, 2005 6 Chapter 4 The Planning Process Sproat Lake is included in two Official Settlement Plans (OSP’s) of the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District - The East Sproat Lake OSP ( 1985, revised 1998), and the Sproat Lake OSP (1981, revised 1998). In December 2000, at a community meeting, the Sproat Lake community espoused the strengths of living near the lake and also identified key issues to be addressed in a new OCP. At the same time, a “visioning” strategy was drawn up to guide the new plan. The vision is included in this plan as Chapter 2. In May 2003, the Regional District, through the Electoral Area “D” regional director, requested the Sproat Lake Advisory Planning Commission to commence the OCP review process that resulted in this plan. The new OCP covers a much larger area, encompassing as it does the entire watershed of the lake and includes a portion of Great Central Lake as well as part of the watershed of Nahmint Lake and covers a total area of 39 075 hectares (150 square miles) as shown on Map 1. The OCP tries to reflect a consensus of opinions received but no plan is perfect and no plan can reflect all the divergent opinions received. However, planning is a dynamic process, just as the community it represents. The plan will be monitored on a regular basis and will also be extensively reviewed in 10 years time to ensure it is current and relevant to the needs of the Sproat Lake community. In the 2000 visioning session, characteristics of the Sproat Lake area which the community wishes to see retained, protected and enhanced are: S Lake activities, swimming, boating, fishing S A community focal point S Scenic values, lakes and mountains S Wild rivers and streams S Quiet, friendly, non-urban feeling S Community-oriented parks and trails Such stated vision is used in the development of this plan. Adopted February 23rd, 2005 7 Adopted February 23rd, 2005 8 Chapter 5 History and Character of Sproat Lake The lake is named after Gilbert Malcolm Sproat who arrived in the Alberni valley in 1860 and established the first sawmill in 1861 so starting the long and tempestuous relationship that the region has had with the forest industry. Prior to the European settlement of the area, the aboriginal peoples had a marked presence in the region, being as it was a desirable place to settle, with abundant harvests

  • The Profusion of Potatoes in Pre-Colonial British Columbia
    THE PROFUSION OF POTATOES IN PRE-COLONIAL BRITISH COLUMBIA Ǽ STELLA WENSTOB ABSTRACT In 1858, the explorer, trader, and Indian agent, William Eddy Banfield published an article for Vancouver Island’s first news- paper, the Victoria Gazette, describing the trade and cultivation of potatoes among the First Nations of Vancouver Island’s West Coast. Banfield described a great feast among the Tla-o-qui-aht people that centred on the consumption of the prestigious trade good, potatoes. This highly ritualized, culturally and socially significant practice of the potato feast raises many questions about the early European perception of dynamism among First Nations people. By tracing the early diffusion of the potato dur- ing this time period, I use the potato as a medium to examine shifting perceptions regarding European perceptions of Pacific Northwest First Nation’s land use. INTRODUCTION In 1858, the explorer, trader, and Indian agent, William Eddy Banfield published an article for Vancouver Island’s first news- paper, the Victoria Gazette, describing the trade and cultivation of potatoes among the First Nations of Vancouver Island’s West PLATFORUM. VOL. 12 2011 133 Coast. Banfield described a great feast among the Tla-o-qui-aht people that centred on the consumption of the prestigious trade good, potatoes (Sept. 9, 1858). This highly ritualized, culturally and socially significant practice of the potato feast raises many questions about the early European perception of dynamism among First Nations people. How did this non-traditional foodstuff so readily become a sig- nificant part of the indigenous diet? The First Nations’ relation- ship to the potato was furthered by interactions with Europeans who came to the Pacific Northwest.

  • Dispossession and Resistance in British Columbia
    13 Chapter 1 Dispossession and Resistance in British Columbia Every community has its own distinct history—a history of the land and the people. Unfortunately, common to all Indigenous communities is the very recent history of colonization, a history of dispossession and resistance. In the lands now called British Columbia, this history is well documented. Researching and interpreting this history is a significant component of any Indigenous research project. Using a chronological narrative, this chapter provides a general overview of historical events in British Columbia, beginning with the 1763 British proclamation of sovereignty in North America. You can use this chapter to find information about specific events or compare different eras, detect patterns and identify relationships to get an overall sense of what has happened in Indigenous lands since 1763. It should be noted that reviewing a chronology is merely a first step in the process of conducting historical research. Chronologies are helpful tools that organize information and provide useful narratives to introduce a topic. Thus they rely upon generalizations and the use of secondary sources to provide a very broad overview of complex relationships between peoples that, in this case, span more than 300 years. The chronology that follows is not a complete or absolute account of Indigenous history in British Columbia, nor does it aim to be. Rather, this chronology provides a general historical background to help you begin to conduct research on the Indigenous lands now known as British Columbia. Chronology 1763 (February) Britain, France and Spain sign the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years War.
