WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL APRIL 15—A HUGE DAY FOR US, WITH THANKS TO MANY As we go to press with this issue, WCRA is poised for the operation of the first trip with Royal Hudson #2860, a special trip for the 50th birthday of the City of White Rock on Sunday, April 15. There is no doubt that this has been no small feat on the part of many parties to bring the trip to fruition, and with many challenges along the way. There is further coverage of the story of preparations starting on page 9 of this issue, and as we write this the trip is still a week in the future. But, the pieces are together and the final details being set—and unless something goes unexpectedly wrong, #2860 will chug south from Squamish on Saturday, April 14th en route a sold out crowd for her April 15th excursion. We look forward to a busy, but grand, day. Putting something like this together in 2007 is a mammoth undertaking, and a list of thanks are in order. Thanks to the railways who are assisting—to BNSF who is a sponsor of this event, to CN who will ferry the train from Squamish to Vancouver and back to Squamish, to Rocky Mountaineer Vacations for use of their station as well as several coaches, and to the Kamloops Heritage Railway who bailed us out with two of their coaches when ours ended up stranded in Ontario. Thanks also to Transport Canada for the granting of the needed exemptions for BNSF and CN to operate the locomotive on their lines. Unfortunately, it appears that the US Federal Railway Administration aren’t so cooperative, and have refused an exemption (for a single waterglass—the US regulation is for dual) that would have allowed the loco to run a short distance into the US to turn on the wye at Intalco (as requested by BNSF) . Thanks also go to our shop crew, staff, and tours committee for preparations, inspections, planning and work beyond imagination to get everything prepared. We are proud of you all. This first outing is clearly the biggest one, and we have all learned a lot that will make any future trips easier to prepare for as we put these things to work in our practices. Lastly, a huge thank you to the City of White Rock for inviting #2860 to be a part of their gala 50th birthday celebration event. Participating in special events is the new role for the Royal Hudson in her re-incarnation, the start of her third career. She remains an icon of British Columbia tourism, and her special appearances over future years will touch many British Columbians and remind us of our railway heritage—in a very living way. Don WCRA News, Page 4 ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE MARCH GENERAL MEETING The meeting was called to order by Colin Dathan with 40 members and guests present: • Don Evans presented the Executive Director’s report and gave an update on the preparations for the April 15th trip to White Rock • Jim Brown gave the financial report to the end of February and accepted a donation from Dorothea Matewish towards the Royal Hudson project • Jim Brown reported on the 374 Pavilion and sought more volunteers to open and staff the facility.

  • BC Road Trip: Great Bear Rainforest Loop
    BC Road Trip: Great Bear Rainforest Loop Vancouver to Nanaimo to Port Hardy to Bella Coola to Anahim Lake to Williams Lake to Lillooet to Whistler to Vancouver Part 1 Vancouver to Nanaimo via BC Ferries 1hr 40 mins crossing time Vancouver and Nanaimo are both gorgeous, well-known and bustling west coast ports in British Columbia. Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for livability and quality of life and Nanaimo, known as “The Harbour City” is the gateway for other destinations on northern Vancouver Island. We highly recommend planning a day to explore each city’s landscape and culture. We recommend you reserve a spot on the ferry leaving Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, as the wait for sail times can get quite long in the spring and summer months. Part 2 Nanaimo to Port Hardy Ferry 385 km | 4.5 hours Coming out of Nanaimo, take Highway BC-19N toward Campbell River and follow it all the way up to Port Hardy, where you will board a ferry to Bella Coola. This picturesque stretch of highway is chock full of quaint towns, camping and fishing spots, wineries and craft breweries, and so much more. Check out Tourism Vancouver Island for the lowdown on the island’s activities and sights. Port Hardy: A fantastic town at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, Port Hardy serves as a hub for air, ferry and marine transportation networks, and serves as the gateway to the fast-growing Central Coast (part of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region). The town also supports several traditional and emerging sectors and remains rich in natural resources and community spirit.

  • Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea Conchaphila) in Canada [PROPOSED]
    PROPOSED SPECIES AT RISK ACT Management Plan Series Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea conchaphila) in Canada Olympia Oyster May 2009 About the Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to manage species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened.” What is a species of special concern? Under SARA, a species of special concern is a wildlife species that could become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. Species of special concern are included in the SARA List of Wildlife Species at Risk. What is a management plan? Under SARA, a management plan is an action-oriented planning document that identifies the conservation activities and land use measures needed to ensure, at a minimum, that a species of special concern does not become threatened or endangered. For many species, the ultimate aim of the management plan will be to alleviate human threats and remove the species from the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. The plan sets goals and objectives, identifies threats, and indicates the main areas of activities to be undertaken to address those threats. Management plan development is mandated under Sections 65–72 of SARA (http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/approach/act/default_e.cfm). A management plan has to be developed within three years after the species is added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk.
