Originaire de Lachine, cette pion- nière de la navigation de plaisance tirera de sa quinzaine d’années de croisière familiale une série de chroniques (rédigées en anglais) qu’elle réussira à publier quelques mois avant sa disparition en 1961. The Curve of time est devenu depuis une pièce d’anthologie de lit- térature maritime qui a inspiré beaucoup de plaisanciers de Colombie-Britannique. Une amie de Victoria a eu la gentillesse de m’offrir ce fameux bouquin avant mon départ et c’est à travers les magnifiques carnets de voyage de «Capi» Blanchet que j’entendrai parler pour la première fois des eaux mystérieuses et sauvages de Desolation Sound: les rencontres avec les bûcherons solitaires, les villages indiens abandonnés, les ours qui menacent les enfants au bord de la rivière… Le mot anglais sound désigne aussi bien un détroit, un passage ou un bras de mer. -

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'. -
Flea Village—1
Context: 18th-century history, west coast of Canada Citation: Doe, N.A., Flea Village—1. Introduction, SILT 17-1, 2016. <www.nickdoe.ca/pdfs/Webp561.pdf>. Accessed 2016 Nov. 06. NOTE: Adjust the accessed date as needed. Notes: Most of this paper was completed in April 2007 with the intention of publishing it in the journal SHALE. It was however never published at that time, and further research was done in September 2007, but practically none after that. It was prepared for publication here in November 2016, with very little added to the old manuscripts. It may therefore be out-of-date in some respects.

Two expeditions, one led by Captain Vancouver and the other led by Comandante Galiano, arrived at Kinghorn Island in Desolation Sound from the south on June 25, 1792. Their mission was to survey the mainland coast for a passage to the east—a northwest passage. At this stage of their work, they had no idea what lay before them as the insularity of Vancouver Island had yet to be established by Europeans. The following day, all four vessels moved up the Lewis Channel and found a better anchorage in the Teakerne Arm. For seventeen days, small-boat expeditions set out from this safe anchorage to explore the Homfray Channel, Toba Inlet, Pryce Channel, Bute Inlet, and the narrow passages leading westward through which the sea flowed back and forth with astounding velocity. -

Staff Report
STAFF REPORT DATE: September 3, 2021 FILE: 0540-04 EASC TO: Chair and Directors, Electoral Area Services Committee FROM: Dave Leitch Chief Administrative Officer RE: COMMUNITY RESILIENCY INVESTMENT - GRANT OPPORTUNITY PURPOSE To consider an application to the Community Resiliency Investment grant program of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) to further the Regional District’s efforts to reduce wildfire risks. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Resiliency Investment (CRI) grant is a provincial program intended to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires on communities in BC. The general goal of FireSmart is to encourage communities and citizens to adopt and conduct FireSmart practices to mitigate the negative impacts of wildfire to public and private property assets. The program can contribute up to 100% of the cost of eligible activities provided the application has a Council or Board resolution indicating support for the proposed activities and a willingness to provide overall grant management. Regional Districts may submit a single application for eligible, collaborative projects that include multiple electoral areas. The maximum base funding for fuel management is $50,000 plus up to $50,000 for FireSmart activities for each electoral area. All local governments (municipalities and regional districts) and First Nations (bands and Treaty First Nations) in BC are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants may submit one application per intake. The deadline for the next intake of applications is October 8, 2021. It is proposed that an application be submitted by the Regional District to undertake a number of FireSmart activities in each electoral area as outlined below in detail. If approved, it is anticipated that 100% of the total costs of the FireSmart activities would be covered by the grant award. -

History of the Provincial Forest Inventory Program
A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA PROVINCIAL FOREST INVENTORY PROGRAM* PART TWO THE POGUE ERA: 1940 - 1960 Written by ROBERT E. BREADON “Too bad it isn’t morning, so we could fly at ‘er again!” Mickey Pogue et al. MAY 2017 THE ORIGINAL WORK WAS COMPLETED IN 1995 © Forest History Association of British Columbia, Victoria, B.C. *This version contains some changes made to the final edit by Jacy Eberlein, who digitized and created this file in July 2014 using a printed copy lent by Bob Breadon. Formatting, design and additional editing were carried out by John Parminter in 2016 and 2017. ii INTRODUCTION In 1991, while gathering material for articles on the early history of the Research Branch of the B.C. Forest Service, I began to realize that many old-timers of the 1920s and 1930s were still active and alert. I also discovered that several had worked in both the research and forest surveys divisions. A little more digging indicated that there were still around 30 survivors who had worked in forest surveys during the pre-war period. I felt that it would be worthwhile for someone to interview these old-timers, and preserve a record of their experiences in the B.C. Forest Service while the opportunity still existed. I discussed the matter with Dave Gilbert, Director of the current Resource Inventory Branch, and he concurred. He also felt that any history project of this nature should cover events right up to the present time. I then commenced to seek a volunteer to write the next section of the project. -
