  • Midcretaceous Thrusting in the Southern Coast Belt, British

    INVENTORY OF WILDLIFE, ECOLOGICAL, AND LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY VALUES, TSILHQOT'IN FIRST NATIONS CULTURAL/HERITAGE VALUES, & RESOURCE CONFLICTS IN THE DASIQOX-TASEKO WATERSHED, BC CHILCOTIN FINAL REPORT (Revised) August 4, 2014 For Xeni Gwet’in & Yunesit’in First Nations By Wayne McCrory, RPBio McCrory Wildlife Services Ltd. Phone: 250-358-7796; email: [email protected] and First Nations cultural/heritage research: Linda Smith, MSc, & Alice William GIS mapping by Baden Cross, Applied Conservation GIS Corridor modeling by Dr. Lance Craighead, Craighead Research Institute ii LEGAL COVENANT FROM THE XENI GWET’IN GOVERNMENT When the draft of this report was completed in March 2014, the following legal covenant was included: The Tsilhqot'in have met the test for aboriginal title in the lands described in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia 2007 BCSC 1700 (“Tsilhqot’in Nation”). Tsilhqot’in Nation (Vickers J, 2007) also recognized the Tsilhqot’in aboriginal right to hunt and trap birds and animals for the purposes of securing animals for work and transportation, food, clothing, shelter, mats, blankets, and crafts, as well as for spiritual, ceremonial, and cultural uses throughout the Brittany Triangle (Tachelach’ed) and the Xeni Gwet’in Trapline. This right is inclusive of a right to capture and use horses for transportation and work. The Court found that the Tsilhqot’in people also have an aboriginal right to trade in skins and pelts as a means of securing a moderate livelihood. These lands are within the Tsilhqot'in traditional territory, the Xeni Gwet'in First Nation’s caretaking area, and partially in the Yunesit’in Government’s caretaking area.

  • Record of Large, Late Pleistocene Outburst floods Preserved in Saanich Inlet Sediments, Vancouver Island, Canada A

CSC, Victoria, Canada BC V8W 3P6 Received 23 December 2002; accepted 27 June 2003 Abstract Two anomalous, gray, silty clay beds are present in ODP cores collected from Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The beds, which date to about 10,500 14C yr BP (11,000 calendar years BP), contain Tertiary pollen derived from sedimentary rocks found only in the Fraser Lowland, on the mainland of British Columbia and Washington just east of the Strait of Georgia. Abundant illite-muscovite in the sediments supports a Fraser Lowland provenance. The clay beds are probably distal deposits of huge floods that swept through the Fraser Lowland at the end of the Pleistocene. Muddy overflow plumes from these floods crossed the Strait of Georgia and entered Saanich Inlet, where the sediment settled from suspension and blanketed diatom-rich mud on the fiord floor.

  • Field Collection and Geochemical Characterization of Potential Mesozoic Source Rocks on Northern Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands
    Field Collection and Geochemical Characterization of Potential Mesozoic Source Rocks on Northern Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands Report prepared for University of Victoria (UVic) – Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) Partnership Program Dr. Torge Schuemann School of Earth and Ocean Sciences University of Victoria 2005 1 Introduction The Tertiary Queen Charlotte Basin (QCB) is located immediately inboard of the Pacific - North American plate boundary and comprises Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound from north to south (Figure 3). A network of fault-bound sub-basins in Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound contain up to 5 km of sandstones, siltstones and conglomerates with some coals, which are known as the Skonun Formation (Figure 1). Based on reflection seismic and well data the Skonun Formation has been divided into syn-rift and post-rift successions. Fossils indicate Miocene and Pliocene ages. At many locations, the basal sediments either interfinger or overly extensional basaltic rocks of the Masset Formation (Hickson, 1992; Hyndman & Hamilton, 1993). Masset rocks on Graham Island have yielded ages of 35-12 Ma; most fall between 25-20 Ma (Figure 1). Unfortunately no reliable dates are available from basalts drilled in the wells. Upper Triassic / Lower Jurassic potential source rocks, mainly in the Peril, Sandilands and Ghost Creek formations from the Kunga and Maude groups as well as Cretaceous formations, are exposed on the Queen Charlotte Islands (QCI). Both the Sandilands and Ghost Creek formations comprise significant organic-rich petroleum source rocks in the region, which reach up to 600m in thickness with Total Organic Carbon (TOC) up to 6.1%, comprising oil-prone Type I and oil and gas-prone Type II kerogens with Hydrogen Index (HI) values ranging up to 589 mg HC/g Corg (Bustin & Mastalerz, 1995; Macauley, 1983; Snowdon etal., 2002, see also Figure 2).

McCrory, RPBio McCrory Wildlife Services 2 PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS & DISCLAIMER INFORMATION Professional background & relevant qualifications This report was prepared by me, bear biologist Wayne McCrory, for Friends of Nemaiah Valley (FONV) for submission to the federal CEAA Panel reviewing the New Prosperity mine proposal in the BC Chilcotin. I am a registered professional bear biologist in the province of British Columbia. I have an Honours Zoology degree from the University of British Columbia (1966) and have more than 40 years professional experience. My wildlife and extensive bear work has been published in ten proceedings, peer-reviewed journals, and government publications. I have produced 80 professional reports, some peer-reviewed, many involving environmental impacts, and bear habitat and bear hazard assessments. I served for four years on the BC government’s Grizzly Bear Scientific Advisory Committee (GBSAC). Qualifications relevant to my review of the New Prosperity 2011 EIS include the following. I have had extensive experience in environmental impact assessment involving a diverse array of developments, including impacts of logging on grizzly bears, caribou surveys in the Yukon related to the Gas Arctic Pipeline, impacts of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline road, impacts of the Syncrude Tar Sands development on waterfowl and other wildlife, and others.

  • Bibliography of British Columbia Archaeology
    Bibliography of British Columbia Archaeology In the first BC Studies "Special Issue" on archaeology in 1970 I compiled an initial twenty-five page "Bibliography of Archaeology in British Colum­ bia" which listed most publications about British Columbian prehistory up to that time. That bibliography proved a useful tool for British Columbia archaeologists, and was partially updated in the 1980-81 "Special Issue." That included another twenty pages of references, although there was no intent to make that listing fully comprehensive. In tune with the accelerating pace of change in almost all aspects of modern life, since 1981-82 there has been a veritable explosion in the quantity of material written about British Columbia prehistory. Keeping abreast of that information has been distinctly challenging for even pro­ fessional archaeologists, and much of it has fallen beyond the reach of other British Columbians, including the politicians and bureaucrats who exert some control over how archaeology is carried out in this province. At the very least, there should be a basic bibliographic file of professional articles and papers so that interested observers can easily determine what has been written about their favourite area or topic. Thus, I hope the following bibliography will provide an initial view of the large body of written information about British Columbia's prehistory, and prove a useful tool for both archaeologists and non-archaeologists. I have tried to compile all significant monographs, books, and journal articles of any date not listed in the two previous bibliographies, although naturally most references post-date 1980. I have also included many graduate theses bearing on British Columbian prehistory from the three universities (British Columbia, Simon Fraser, and Victoria) as well as many of the longer and more significant unpublished "permit-reports," or "Cultural Resource Management reports," submitted to government or industry.
