The strategic plan identifies and recognizes a broad range of heritage values and resources in the Regional District and suggests strategies that can be implemented to protect and promote the heritage and history of the area, as well as contributing to the region’s social, environmental and economic sustainability. There are many advantages to having heritage conservation play a role in communities. It can be a very effective economic stimulator through initiatives such as cultural tourism. It is a tool to enhance development, and is not meant to inhibit or discourage positive development within communities. Heritage planning also gives communities a way of taking time to consider options for their valued heritage assets. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen is a federation of eight Electoral Areas and six Municipalities. As of 2015, five of the eight Electoral Similkameen hillside. Areas (A, C, D, G and H) have contributed to the Heritage Conservation author photo. Service since the enactment of Heritage Conservation Service Bylaw No. 2367 in 2007. A recommendation for the first year implementation is a resolution by the RDOS Board to implement a region-wide heritage conservation program. Practicing heritage conservation in a coordinated way across the region, including all Electoral Areas and member municipalities, will result in a clear road map for the Board, Regional Heritage Commission and staff to implement a heritage program that is unique to the RDOS, and to better realize the benefits that result from strong and integrated heritage conservation activity. A consolidated heritage program will inspire a strong sense of pride in all of the region’s built, cultural landscape and natural environments, public institutions, people and stories. The Current Situation section brings together community input and historical and cultural research to form a greater understanding of the historical, physical and intangible components of the Okanagan-Similkameen region. This section, while not specifically an academic study, fully develops an overall view of the physical context of the area along with historical themes that, along with community heritage values identified by RDOS communities, lead to an understanding of the area’s heritage. It also identifies the regional government structure within which the heritage strategy will be implemented. Adding to an understanding of the current situation and keeping the RDOS up to date on most recent thinking that it can apply to heritage activities are sections on emerging trends in heritage conservation and heritage tourism, while the strategies encourage continued exploration of future trends. The heritage strategy section sets the stage for the five-year implementation. It 4 Regional District of Regional Heritage Okanagan-Similkameen Strategic Plan sets out the mission, vision and values for the heritage program as developed through community workshops and the survey. A key part of this section are the guiding principles and strategic actions that provide a high-level, over-arching guide to heritage conservation in the region over a 10-year period. This section also touches on the governance of heritage conservation, through an understanding that a region-wide heritage service including all Electoral Areas and member municipalities will bring the most benefit to the region. It also includes information on evaluation criteria for heritage sites, an overview of the conservation tools available to the RDOS, performance measures to see how the program is progressing and a description of a Regional Heritage Commission. The five-year implementation section is the key part of this document. Following on the guiding principles and strategic actions, it outlines more detailed actions to progress with heritage conservation, in one year, and two to five year increments. The implementation in Year 1 (2016) emphasizes the creation of the regional service, the formation of the Regional Heritage Commission and adding several sites to the heritage register, as well as activities that are achievable and / or already underway, and that don’t require the establishment of the regional service. The funding environment section outlines the current state of funding from the RDOS with regard to heritage services as a way of understanding how to move forward with a financially sustainable heritage program for the region. This will also involve partnerships, with a list of heritage groups, institutions and agencies listed for reference. The marketing and promotion plan, to be implemented as part of, and in parallel with, the heritage strategy, outlines the background for cultural tourism in the region, and a series of step-by-step action. Finally, the appendices contain background material and information for use with the strategic plan. The consultant team would like to acknowledge the guidance and support received during the preparation of the heritage strategic plan: Coalmont General Store. author photo • RDOS Board • RDOS Staff • Upper Similkameen Indian Band • Lower Similkameen Indian Band • Osoyoos Indian Band • Penticton Indian Band • En’owkin Centre • Strategic Plan Working Group • Regional heritage groups, organizations and agencies • Participants in the community workshops • Participants in the online workshop and questionnaire • Interviewees in the Naramata community Regional District of Regional Heritage 5 Okanagan-Similkameen Strategic Plan 1.0 THE HERITAGE STRATEGIC PLAN The strategic plan is intended to function as a heritage manual.

  • The Ogopogo Puzzle
    This friendly Ogopogo can be sighted at Kerry Park in Kelowna The Ogopogo Puzzle Okanagan History Vignette 129 Picture This Early one morning you are driving south along Highway 97. As you leave Peachland and round the shore by Antlers Beach, you have a perfect view of Okanagan Lake. You are the only motorist on the road. The lake is strangely still. A light mist drifts over the water and softens the edge of the hills surrounding the lake. The colours of pale blue, silver, and white blend together as the sun creeps over the eastern peaks. How mysterious everything looks. You take your eyes off the road and glance toward the lake. Suddenly, a ripple shatters the smooth surface of the water. One hump appears, then a second, and then a third. The humps look like waves, but they are a darker colour than the water. You brake the car and park on the side of the highway. As you run toward the water’s edge, a large head appears in front of you. “Can this be?” you mutter to yourself. The beast’s dark eyes stare at you for a moment. You stand hypnotized. Not a sound disturbs the morning calm. Then an eyelid slowly covers one of the animal’s eyes. Ogopogo has winked at you. You smile back delightedly. The creature nods once, and then it sinks slowly beneath the surface. Ripples fan out from the spot where the creature disappeared. You return to your car and think about the Ogopogo puzzle. You have come face to face with the most famous resident of Okanagan Lake.

Primed by DON MCDIAHMID, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty 1954 This pamphlet deals principally with the history of mining activity in British Columbia to the end of the year 1953. The written account is supplemented by a selection of photographs. MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA It is a curious fact that, although what is now British Columbia possessed a vast wealth of visible resources, little attention was paid to them in the eighty years following Captain Cook's visit to the west coast of Vancouver Island in 1778. Such interest as was aroused was mainly in furs. It was interest in fur that led John Meares to establish his short-lived post at Nootka, and interest in fur that spurred Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, and David Thompson to undertake their arduous expeditions into British Colum• bia from the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. In the period from 1805 to 1849 fifteen posts were established along the routes of the fur brigades, and here and there the Oblate Fathers had planted churches among the tribes.

Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.

    1 December 12, 2002 Larry Koller Box 3B, Comp 12 Tulameen, BC V0X 2L0 Phone or Fax (250) 2956502 To: Honourable Joyce Murray Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection Room 124 Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 VIA FACSIMILE 604 775-2121 Dear Madam, On July 9, 2002 you appointed me to the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Taskforce. You have asked me to make recommendations, with supporting rationale, on the completion and implementation of a Grizzly Bear recovery Plan based on a review of: (1) the draft Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan for the North Cascades of British Columbia(January 19, 2001) (Draft recovery plan) (2) the Input received during the Public Consultation Period (Public Input), (3) the Proposed responses to this input from the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Team (Team Responses), and, (4) Any additional technical/scientific input. In addition to this, for the first eight meetings we had the privilege of a resource person from the recovery team to guide us through the above. You have to appreciate that the taskforce represents a wide range of stakeholder interests. Even with a two-month extension, aside from general agreement that there should be a conservation strategy for the grizzly bear your expectation of a consensus on recommendations for completion and implementation of the recovery plan is overly optimistic. Now, because of the timeframe for submitting (Dec. 15) and finding that we have exceeded our budget, I am breaking away from trying to reach consensus recommendations; keeping to the Terms of Reference re: Decision-making. I was nominated by Dave Chutter MLA (Yale-Lillooet) to represent local residents on the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Taskforce.
