Request for Decision
3008 Fifth Avenue, Port Alberni, B.C. CANADA V9Y 2E3 Telephone (250) 720-2700 FAX: (250) 723-1327 REQUEST FOR DECISION To: ACRD Board of Directors From: Wendy Thomson, Manager of Administrative Services Meeting Date: October 9, 2019 Subject: Alternative Approval Process – Bylaw E1062, West Coast Transit Service Area Establishment, 2019 Recommendation: THAT the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Board of Directors approve the following in order to conduct the Alternative Approval Process for Bylaw E1062, West Coast Transit Service Area Establishment, 2019: a. approve the Elector Response Form as presented; b. determine the estimated number of eligible voters to which this Alternate Approval process applies to be 6021; c. establish Friday, November 29, 2019 at 4:00 pm as the deadline for receiving elector responses at the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Office; and d. approve the synopsis of Bylaw E1062 as presented; Desired Outcome: To conduct an Alternate Approval Process (AAP) in order to obtain elector approval to proceed with adoption of Bylaw E1062, West Coast Transit Service Area Establishment, 2019 to establish and operate a transit service on the west coast. Background: The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) Board of Directors proposes to establish by bylaw E0162, a conventional fixed route transit service on the west coast. The ACRD will partner with BC Transit to operate the service between Tofino, Ucluelet and Long Beach, with stops in between including the First Nation communities of Hitacu, Esowista and Ty-histanis. The ACRD Board of Directors at their regular meeting held on September 11, 2019 gave three readings to Bylaw E1062, West Coast Transit Service Area Establishment, 2019 and confirmed that the AAP process would be the method used to gain consent of the electorate within the entire service area (Long Beach, Tofino, Ucluelet, Toquaht and Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ). -

The Kootenay Wreck Tour River Above Castlegar
Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia Vol. 22 No.6 Nov-Dec 2011 waterfront. The Ymir was made of wood and is 77’ long x 16’ wide x 6’ deep. It was built and launched at Nel‐ son in 1899 and was used to move Transfer barges around. The super structure is gone but the hull, deck planking and boiler are still in place. Directly off the bow of the Ymir is a fifteen car Railway Transfer barge in about 50’ of water. This is a shore dive and the fact that most of the decking is gone means that the inter‐ nal structure of the barge can be seen. This dive site also happens to be the location of the CPR shipways on Kootenay Lake. The CPR fleet of stern‐ wheelers, tugs and Rail barge would have been built and maintained at this location in the late 1800’s up to 1930. Our next site to visit was the Steam Tug Elco II located in the Columbia The Kootenay Wreck Tour River above Castlegar. The Elco II was by, Bill Meekel 76’ long x 15’ wide x 7’ deep.

Corrugated Architecture of the Okanagan Valley Shear Zone and the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, Canadian Cordillera
Corrugated architecture of the Okanagan Valley shear zone and the Shuswap metamorphic complex, Canadian Cordillera Sarah R. Brown1,2,*, Graham D.M. Andrews1,3, and H. Daniel Gibson2 1DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY–BAKERSFIELD, 9001 STOCKDALE HIGHWAY, BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93311, USA 2DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCE, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, 8888 UNIVERSITY DRIVE, BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA V5A 1S6, CANADA 3DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY, WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY, 98 BEECHURST AVENUE, MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA 26506, USA ABSTRACT The distribution of tectonic superstructure across the Shuswap metamorphic complex of southern British Columbia is explained by east-west– trending corrugations of the Okanagan Valley shear zone detachment. Geological mapping along the southern Okanagan Valley shear zone has identified 100-m-scale to kilometer-scale corrugations parallel to the extension direction, where synformal troughs hosting upper-plate units are juxtaposed between antiformal ridges of crystalline lower-plate rocks. Analysis of available structural data and published geological maps of the Okanagan Valley shear zone confirms the presence of≤ 40-km-wavelength corrugations, which strongly influence the surface trace of the detachment system, forming spatially extensive salients and reentrants. The largest reentrant is a semicontinuous belt of late Paleozoic to Mesozoic upper-plate rocks that link stratigraphy on either side of the Shuswap metamorphic complex. Previously, these belts were considered by some to be autochthonous, implying minimal motion on the Okanagan Valley shear zone (≤12 km); conversely, our results suggest that they are allochthonous (with as much as 30–90 km displacement). Corrugations extend the Okanagan Valley shear zone much farther east than previously recognized and allow for hitherto separate gneiss domes and detachments to be reconstructed together to form a single, areally extensive Okanagan Valley shear zone across the Shuswap metamorphic complex. -
