I discuss the cultural and personal significance of some of the places in the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. I call on my family history through the oral tradition of my people and draw on my own personal experiences to tell stories in our Hul’q’umi’num’ language of the places I am from, the places I have lived, and the places I have pulled a canoe. It is my hope that this research will help us reach a deeper understanding of place names and the teachings associated with the lands in which we live.

British Columbia had many such communities, at all stages of its history; Cariboo and Kootenay mining towns, the logging camps of the Pacific Coast, the sawmill and pulp mill towns of Vancouver Island and the southwest mainland, the salmon canneries and fishing villages dotted along the coast and major rivers.

  • Nanaimo CLEAN TECHNOLOGY and GREEN ENERGY SECTOR
    Nanaimo CLEAN TECHNOLOGY AND GREEN ENERGY SECTOR Renewable Energy Fisheries Electric Vehicles & Oceans & Green Transportation Sustainable Development & Environmental Green Building Consulting Water & Forest & Land Resource Management Management 0 Nanaimo is located on the east side of Vancouver Island, off the southwest coast of British Columbia. The city is situated within a short 20-minute travel time to downtown Vancouver by seaplane or helicopter, and a 90-minute drive to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Nanaimo is ideally located in the heart of the largest North American island in the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver Island. The city has a beautiful, protected natural waterfront that includes an active harbour, marina, seaport and airport. Against a backdrop of coastal mountains, Nanaimo is home to scenic lakes, mountain trails and parks, and pristine forests of the UNESCO-designated Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region. The city boasts nearly 100,000 residents and a highly skilled labour force that is supported by Vancouver Island University, with enrolment of 17,000 students. In addition to its idyllic setting, Nanaimo enjoys a cost of living that is a quarter of that of Metro Vancouver and considerably less than Victoria. Low costs of doing business, outstanding quality of life, and proximity to Canada’s largest green tech hub - Vancouver - have meant that a growing number of businesses are choosing Nanaimo as their home. In recent years the Vancouver+Victoria+Nanaimo region of the West Coast of Canada has blazed a trail as the nation's leader in green technology and sustainability. The green economy in the Nanaimo Region consists of products and services that conserve the use of energy and natural resources, reduce pollution, provide alternatives to carbon-based energy, and repurpose waste.

The proposal involves extensive land filling for storage and docking in estuarial areas inhabited according to season by adult and juvenile salmon and trout. Sources of information on local stocks were records of the Fisheries Service, Department of the Envirorunent, personnel of the Fish and Wildlife Branch of the British Columbia Department of Recreation and Conservation, and local anglers. The records show the Nanairno River to be a substantial producer of salmon and trout and one of British Columbia's superior steelhead trout rivers.

  • Chapter 4 COAL MINING in Nanaimo
    Chapter 4 COAL MINING in Nanaimo The single most dangerous action you can take on this tour is failing to pay attention while travelling on the route. Do NOT read the following chapter while actively moving by vehicle, car, foot, bike, or boat. NANAIMO COAL MINING Driving Tour Simon Priest, local resident and student of history DANGER: Do not enter coal mines (abandoned or active) without special permission and training to go underground. For this tour, stay on marked trails and roadways. “Lost” or unknown mine openings can be covered with wood that has rotted or vegetation that has overgrown the gap. One wrong step off the beaten path and you could end up at the bottom of a deep shaft. Stay out of mines, remain alert! As recently as 1969, two boys exploring a mine tunnel near Harewood, decided to sleep there overnight without telling anyone where they had gone. Thought to be lost forever, their bodies were discovered in 1980 as they had died in their sleep from breathing deadly gases that had accumulated in the mine! Sedimentary layers including black coal GEOLOGY: Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition of materials that are later fused together under pressure. If the deposited materials are mostly sand, then sandstone results from pressure. If these materials are mostly coral, then limestone can result. Small pebbles are pressed into concrete-like conglomerate. Mud makes shale. Deposited animal or plant matter forms coal under heavy pressure. The Nanaimo Basin (lowlands between the surrounding half circle of mountains) has all of these layers in varying combinations.
