Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2007), 389 Pp
REVIEW OF POVERTY RIGHTS, SOCIAL CITIZENSHIP, AND LEGAL ACTIVISM EDITED BY MARGOT YOUNG, SUSAN B. BOYD, GWEN BRODSKY AND SHELAGH DAY Margo Louise Foster* Margot Young, Susan B. Boyd, Gwen Brodsky & Shelagh Day, eds., Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2007), 389 pp. Louise Arbour has likened the present state of human rights in the inter- national context to a pillar of glass: these rights are invisible, decorative, and support nothing.1 Her sharp metaphor seems equally applicable to the treat- ment of human rights - in particular, social and economic rights - on the domestic front. Many Canadians take pride in the fundamental rights and freedoms entrenched in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,2 but as the essays in Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism3 show, many fail to see how those rights are infringed by the existence of poverty. This failure to see can also be observed in Canadian courts: for example, Gosselin v. Quebec (Attorney General),4 the very case that instigated Poverty, illustrates how the courts have resisted using the Charterto protect economic and social rights or to hold governments accountable for policies that per- petuate poverty. Within Canadian society, one can easily observe a divide * B.A. Hons. (UBC), M.A. (SFU), L.L.B. (UVIC 2009). I wish to thank Professor Freya Kodar for her feedback on an earlier draft of this review and Professor Benjamin Berger for his insightful and challenging comments on subsequent drafts. 1 Louise Arbour, "International Human Rights Advocacy: Opportunities and Limitations" (Lecture delivered at the Faculty of Law, University of Victoria, 19 September 2008) [unpublished], cited with the speaker's permission. -

Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; Updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013
Early Trail Building in the New Colony of British Columbia — John Hall’s Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. A recent “find” of colonial correspondence in the British Columbia Archives tells a story about the construction of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails between 1862 and 1864 by pioneer settler John Hall. (In 1870 Hall pre-empted 160 acres of Crown Land on Indian Arm and became Belcarra’s first European settler.) The correspondence involves a veritable “who’s who” of people in the administration in the young ‘Colony of British Columbia’. This historic account serves to highlight one of the many challenges faced by our pioneers during the period of colonial settlement in British Columbia. Sir James Douglas When the Fraser River Gold Rush began in the spring of 1858, there were only about 250 to 300 Europeans living in the Fraser Valley. The gold rush brought on the order of 30,000 miners flocking to the area in the quest for riches, many of whom came north from the California gold fields. As a result, the British Colonial office declared a new Crown colony on the mainland called ‘British Columbia’ and appointed Sir James Douglas as the first Governor. (1) The colony was first proclaimed at Fort Langley on 19th November, 1858, but in early 1859 the capital was moved to the planned settlement called ‘New Westminster’, Sir James Douglas strategically located on the northern banks of the Fraser River. -

Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'. -
