The Pacific-Arrowsmith Region: Mapping Component Geography 491, Vancouver Island University Created By: Jay Valeri Date: January 1, 2011 Social Aspects of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region: Population of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Age Breakdown of Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Labour Force of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Occupational Breakdown of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Income and Unemployment Rates of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Income of Families of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region 1 Population of Regional Districts and Communities within the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region Within the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region there are two regional districts, the Nanaimo Regional District and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, both of which include various cities, towns and communities. The Nanaimo Regional District (RDN) encom-passes the City of Nanaimo, the District of Lantzville, the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach. According to the 2006 census, the RDN had a population of 138,631 (Statistics Canada, 2007). The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) encompasses the City of Port Alberni, the District of Ucluelet, the District of Tofino and the Bamfield area. In 2006, the ACRD had a population of 30,664 (Statistics Canada, 2007). The Statistics Canada (2007) data also provides population totals for the cities, towns and communities within these two regional districts: The City of Nanaimo – 78,692 The City of Port Alberni – 17,545 The City of Parksville – 10,993 The Town of Qualicum Beach – 8,502 The District of Tofino – 1,655 The District of Ucluelet – 1,487 Sources: Statistics Canada.

The graphs provided, which comprise demographic data, show the size of populations and the distribution of age groups for individual populations. In addition, the 2006 census data also provides the median age of these populations, which is useful to identify similarities and differences among populations within this region. Median Age (Statistics Canada, 2007) The District of Tofino – 34.2 years The District of Ucluelet – 36.4 years City of Nanaimo – 43.2 years Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District - 43.3 years City of Port Alberni – 44.7 years Nanaimo Regional District – 46.6 years Town of Parksville – 56.5 years Town of Qualicum Beach – 60.9 years The age breakdowns can be used to determine expected changes to the current populations; for instance, expected increases or decreases in population for the different age groups over time.

The total number of experienced workers aged 15 years and older in the labour force depends on the total population and its age breakdown. For instance, a regional district or community with a high population will have a greater number of experienced workers in the labour force. However, the total number of experienced workers will be limited by the age breakdown of the population. Therefore, if a population consists of a high proportion of citizens that are below the age of 15 and/or above the age of 65, the total number of people in the labour force will be limited. In terms of the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region, it therefore makes sense that the Regional District of Nanaimo has the larger labour force, with 66,620 experienced workers, while the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District has a smaller labour force with only 15,070 workers (Statistics Canada, 2007).

Census Canada categorizes jobs into ten occupation groups (Statistics Canada, 2007): Management Occupations Business, Finance and Administration Occupations Natural and Applied Sciences and Related Occupations Health Occupations Social Science, Education, Government Service and Religion Occupations Art, Culture, Recreation and Sport Occupations Sales and Services Occupations Trades, Transport and Equipment Operators and Related Occupations Primary Industry Occupations Processing, Manufacturing and Utilities Occupations The sales and services occupations employ the highest percentage of people, ranging between 23 to 32 percent for each regional district and community within the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region (Statistics Canada, 2007). Other major employment categories within this region include the trades, transport and equipment operator occupations, business, finance and administration occupations and management occupations. The remaining six employment categories consistently employ the lowest percentage of people, as each category employs only two to ten percent of the total labour force of each regional district and community (Statistics Canada, 2007).

In 2005, the Town of Qualicum Beach had the highest per capita annual income with $22,737, whereas the lowest income was in the Town of Tofino with $20,224 (Statistics Canada, 2007). As for unemployment rates, the Regional District of Nanaimo had a slightly lower unemployment rate of 7% compared to a rate of 8% for the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District; however, the Town of Parksville had the highest unemployment rate of 8% among individual communities whereas the Town of Qualicum Beach had the lowest rate of 5% (Statistics Canada, 2007). When comparing these two statistics, it appears as though there is no correlation between income and unemployment in this region. Sources: Statistics Canada. (March 2007). 2006 Community Profiles. Retrieved January 1, 2011, from http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/prof/92-591/index.cfm?Lang=E 12 13 Incomes of Families in Regional Districts and Communities within the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region “Median Income of All Census Families” is a statistic calculated by Census Canada and refers to the total income of all family members during 2006 (Statistics Canada, 2007). This is determined for a population by ranking each family’s total income from low to high and dividing half of the values into a lower group and the other half of the values into an upper group. The middle value that remains between these two groups is the median income of all census families for a population. Within the Pacific-Arrowsmith Region, the median family income ranges from $45,724 in Tofino, to $59,931 in Ucluelet (Statistics Canada, 2011). This range of over $14,000 is quite significant considering the geographical distance between these two west coast communities is relatively small. In addition, the unemployment rate in Ucluelet is 1.7 percent higher than in Tofino; therefore, based on this statistic, Ucluelet would expect to have a similar or even lower median family income (for all census families) than Tofino (Statistics Canada, 2007). However, local factors such as the types of employ-ment available, the age breakdown between two populations, differences in local economies and different social behaviours and beliefs could affect the income levels between the two communities of Ucluelet and Tofino.

  • General Overview

    General Overview

    General Overview Benefits of a treaty A treaty with Tla’amin Nation (Sliammon First Nation) will bring certainty with respect to all of Tla’amin Nation’s Aboriginal rights throughout Tla’amin’s claimed traditional territory, which covers approximately 609,000 hectares including marine areas. It will provide Tla’amin with the modern governance tools to build strong and workable relationships with federal, provincial and local governments. Canada, British Columbia and Tla’amin Nation expect that a treaty will resolve long-standing issues regarding undefined Aboriginal rights and title, and bring certainty and economic benefits not only to Tla’amin members but to the entire region. Tla’amin Nation government The Tla’amin Nation Final Agreement will operate within the framework of the Constitution of Canada, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms will apply to the Tla’amin Nation government. With the exception of determining Indian status, after a transition period the Indian Act will no longer apply to Tla’amin Nation, its lands or members. Instead, constitutionally-protected self-government provisions will enable Tla’amin to make its own decisions on matters related to the preservation of its culture, the exercise of its treaty rights and the operation of its government. In October 2009, the Tla’amin community ratified a constitution in accordance with the treaty. The constitution provides that the Tla’amin Nation government will be democratically and financially accountable to its members. The Tla’amin constitution will come into force on the effective date of the treaty. Residents on Tla’amin Lands who are not Tla’amin Nation members may participate in the decision-making processes of a Tla’amin public institution, such as a school or health board, if the activities of that institution directly and significantly affect them.
