BOWEN ISLAND We are a small island surrounded by salty ocean water, and so there are limits to our freshwater supply. Yet all life - people, other animals and plants - rely utterly on a continued supply. So we need to answer important questions: Do we have enough water? Are we using it wisely? Are we protecting our drinking water supplies? Are we leaving Bowen enough for nature?

  • A Bowen Island Case Study
    DWELLING, TOURISM AND SUSTAINABILITY ON THE RURAL- URBAN FRINGE: A BOWEN ISLAND CASE STUDY by Donna Nona Pettipas BFA, University of Victoria, 1981 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) January, 2010 © Donna Nona Pettipas, 2010 ABSTRACT The thesis examines the question of why people live in rural communities, what draws them to these communities and the significance of social sustainability. The focus is on the view of individual perspectives that could be obtained through the process of completed questionnaires and interviews. Results of the combined questionnaire and interviews were referenced to earlier studies and to government statistics. The community of Bowen Island served as the case study, a rural community with a historical and evolving relationship to Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. The research activity was designed to be one of information and knowledge gathering, rather than an issue-oriented approach. The approach taken is one of discovering patterns of shared values and the adaptive practices of islanders in their homes and community environs. Transcribed interview responses were grouped by enquiry type to facilitate comparison between participants across BI neighbourhoods, resulting in qualitatively rich personal narratives about home, habitat and community engagement. The community is physically engaged in a beautiful mountainous and marine environment, which is also a tourist destination. Fun is a quality of BI‘s community celebrations along with spirituality and a connection to nature, the backdrop to a privileged life-style; some with ‗plenty of dough‘ most somewhere in-between ranging to bohemian artists, sharing in the community dynamic.

  • (Rocky) Wilson, 65, Is an Hwlitsum Elder, Has Served As Chief of the Hwlitsum Since 1999 and Is an Active Commercial Fisher
    Profiles of Hwlitsum People Raymond (Rocky) Wilson, 65, is an Hwlitsum Elder, has served as Chief of the Hwlitsum since 1999 and is an active commercial fisher. Chief Wilson, who has lived in Hwlitsum his entire life, is also an oral historian of his community, having learned the Hwlitsum way of life and history from his father, mother, grandmother, uncles, aunts and cousins. The narratives Chief Wilson learned go back to the time of Si'nuscustan, who was born in the late 18th century, and link continuously to the present. Chief Wilson is an informed and accurate source of information about Hwlitsum fisheries and has harvested species in a great variety of locations, including those used by his ancestors. He has orally footnoted these ancestral practices in a continuous chain back to the 19th century. Chief Rocky Wilson His father, Andrew John Wilson, was born on the Coquitlam reserve in 1899 and his mother, Rose Keziah Cook, was born on Galiano Island. Andrew Wilson was a very successful commercial fisherman. Unfortunately, when Chief Wilson was a teenager, his father began suffering from severe arthritis. Chief Wilson, as the youngest of eight children, was chosen by his mother to assist his father in fishing and hunting and his father chose to teach him the Hwlitsum way of life and history. Chief Wilson also learned about the Hwlitsum way of life, and how to harvest resources from his uncles, sisters, and his older brothers. Chief Wilson On August 16, 2014 I travelled from Vancouver to Hwlitsum (Canoe Pass) where I met Chief Raymond (Rocky) Wilson at the Wilson wharf, which is approximately 1.5 kilometers from both the Roberts Bank Super-port and the mouth of Hwlitsum (Canoe Pass).
