And I’m told the cast and crews have enjoyed working with us too. Major feature productions, such as An QUICK FACTS, Unfinished Life, Firewall, Shooter and The Pledge, deposited excitement CONTENTS & INDEX and goodwill into our region, and exhibited the world of looks the Thompson-Nicola region can be. Our deserts, box canyons with clay hoodoos, rolling grasslands and Andy Anderson western movie set Wildhorse Town were well suited for westerns such as Chair, Thompson-Nicola the Canadian-German co-production Miss Texas, By Dawn’s Early Light, Film Commission; The Grey Fox, Gunfighter’s Moon and The Gift of Giving. Our foothills Mayor of Ashcroft were Afghanistan for Afghan Knights and Traffic: The Mini-series, India & Pakistan for Partition, Africa for Shooter and the Baja Peninsula for The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. We even doubled northern Canada’s tundra for The Snow Walker. We’ve been blown-up and shot at as you’ll witness in Firewall, filmed around Kamloops, and The Wicker Man and the pilot for Superman’s Smallville in Merritt, but we’re still standing and hoping for more. We’ve had aliens visit from Battlestar Galactica, a lady truck driver depict her story in Lady is a Teamster:The Diana Kilmury Story at our famous Highland Valley Copper Mine in Logan Lake, and we mingled with the folks from Hard Core Logo. We were especially honoured to have the Academy Award nominated director, Atom Egoyan, direct The Sweet Hereafter in Ashcroft, Merritt and Spences Bridge, and create a powerful story amongst our pristine snowy terrain and picturesque roads. However, it was our cold and dreary looks coupled with our snowy terrain that enticed Sean Penn to film The Pledge in Lytton & Merritt areas. The BC Film Commission boasts that British Columbia is “A World of Looks.” Well, the Thompson-Nicola Region boasts a world looks, too, except ours are “All in an Hour Drive.” We invite you to film in our region. We guarantee your project will get our undivided attention and support because we appreciate your business. Andy Anderson The Thompson-Nicola Film Commission is a full-service film commission.

    In Pursuit of the Quarry: Exploring Lithic Exchange on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia by Cameron J. Pollock B.A. Simon Fraser University, 2016 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Archaeology Faculty of Environment © Cameron J Pollock 2018 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2018 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Cameron J Pollock Degree: Master of Arts Title: In Pursuit of the Quarry: Exploring Lithic Exchange on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia Examining Committee: Chair: Christina Giovas Assistant Professor Rudolf Reimer Senior Supervisor Associate Professor George Nicholas Supervisor Professor Jesse Morin External Examiner Independent Heritage Consulant and Archaeologist K’omoks First Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation Date Defended/Approved: October 26, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis represents an exploratory provenance study to map the spatial distribution of lithics from the Arrowstone Hills lithic source, located near Cache Creek BC, across the Southern Interior Plateau. Using X-Ray Fluorescence analysis, an elemental signature for this source was generated, against which lithic artifacts from archaeological sites located across the Plateau were compared. The Arrowstone Hills source was also compared to five other lithic sources on the Plateau and Northwest Coast. It was determined that the Arrowstone Hills source is part of a geological complex that includes at least three other nearby lithic sources possessing a similar elemental signature, named here the Kamloops Fine-Grained Volcanic complex.

  • A Second Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Vicinity, British Columbia, Canada
    A second annotated checklist of vascular plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and vicinity, British Columbia, Canada Version 1: April, 2011 Curtis R. Björk1 and Trevor Goward2 ENLICHENED CONSULTING LTD. Box 131, Clearwater, BC, V0E 1N0, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Vascular Plants in Wells Gray SUMMARY Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast wilderness preserve situated in the mountains and highlands of south-central British Columbia. The first major floristic study of the vascular plants of Wells Gray and its vicinity was published in 1965 by Leena Hämet-Ahti, who documented 550 taxa, including a first Canadian record of Carex praeceptorium. The present study contributes nearly 500 additional taxa documented by us between 1976 and 2010 in connection with our personal explorations of the Clearwater Valley. The vascular flora of Wells Gray Park and vicinity now stands at 1046 taxa, including 881 native species and 165 species introduced from Eurasia and other portions of British Columbia. Wells Gray Park is notable both for the presence of numerous taxa (45) at or near the northern limits of their range, as well as for an unexpectedly high number of taxa (43) accorded conservation status by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre. Antennaria corymbosa has its only known Canadian locality within Wells Gray, while five additional species reported here are known in Canada from fewer than six localities. About a dozen unknown, possibly undescribed taxa have also been detected. Botanical inventory has thus far been confined to the southern portions of Wells Gray. Future studies in northern half of the park will certainly greatly increase our knowledge of the biological diversity safeguarded in this magnificent wilderness preserve.
