  • A Study of the Wellington Miners5 Strike of 1890-911 JEREMY MOUAT
    The Politics of Goal: A Study of the Wellington Miners5 Strike of 1890-911 JEREMY MOUAT The coal miners of Vancouver Island occupy a special place in the history of British Columbia. The communities in which they and their families lived — Ladysmith, Wellington, Nanaimo, and Cumberland — experi­ enced class tensions to a degree and duration rarely seen in other parts of the province. An Island miner involved in the 1912 strike, for example, might have had a grandparent who went through the 1877 strike or a parent who witnessed the 1890 strike. These outbursts of militancy reflect the uneasiness in the social relations of production on the coal fields. Class tensions found expression in other ways as well, such as the ethnic preju­ dice of the miners or their left-leaning political representatives. Each strike was fought out in a different context, informed both by past struggles and current conditions. What follows is an attempt to explore the context of one such episode, the Wellington strike of 1890-91. It began quietly enough on a Monday morning, 19 May 1890, when miners employed at the Dunsmuirs' Wellington colliery on Vancouver Island arrived late for work. The action expressed their demand for an eight-hour working day and recognition of their union. The Dunsmuirs refused to grant either of these, and an eighteen-month struggle followed. When the strike was finally called off in November 1891, the Wellington miners had failed to achieve their two goals. The strike has received scant attention from historians, a neglect it scarcely deserves.2 At a time when the industry played a vital role in the 1 I would like to thank R.

  • Craigdarroch Military Hospital: a Canadian War Story
    Craigdarroch Military Hospital: A Canadian War Story Bruce Davies Curator © Craigdarroch Castle 2016 2 Abstract As one of many military hospitals operated by the federal government during and after The Great War of 1914-1918, the Dunsmuir house “Craigdarroch” is today a lens through which museum staff and visitors can learn how Canada cared for its injured and disabled veterans. Broad examination of military and civilian medical services overseas, across Canada, and in particular, at Craigdarroch, shows that the Castle and the Dunsmuir family played a significant role in a crucial period of Canada’s history. This paper describes the medical care that wounded and sick Canadian soldiers encountered in France, Belgium, Britain, and Canada. It explains some of the measures taken to help permanently disabled veterans successfully return to civilian life. Also covered are the comprehensive building renovations made to Craigdarroch, the hospital's official opening by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the question of why the hospital operated so briefly. By highlighting the wartime experiences of one Craigdarroch nurse and one Craigdarroch patient, it is seen that opportunities abound for rich story- telling in a new gallery now being planned for the museum. The paper includes an appendix offering a synopsis of the Dunsmuir family’s contributions to the War. 3 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................. 04 I.

  • Crofton, BC, Canada | Red Seal Recruiting
    Crofton, BC http://www.croftonbc.com/ The active community of Crofton is situated on the calm waters of Osborne Bay in the Cowichan Valley, 22 minutes’ drive from Duncan. It is home to 2,500 people. The modern town of Crofton was founded in 1902 by Henry Croft, who owned a nearby copper in Mt. Sicker. He used the town to build a smelter, export his copper, and house his workers. The town prospered until world copper prices dropped, causing the closure of the mine in 1908. The miners struggled to find work in the logging and fishing industries until 1956, when a large pulp and paper mill was built on the outskirts of town, attracted by Crofton's deep-sea port. The mill is still in operation today. These days, this friendly forestry community offers quiet parks, comfortable accommodation and a host of family activities such as golfing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Close to Victoria and Nanaimo, Crofton is also is home to one of the ferries heading to Saltspring Island.

  • Background and History Water Management of Okanagan Lake
    tzt @ Background and History of Water Management of Okanagan Lake and River Prepared by: B.J. $ym_gnds-, P. Eng. Water Management Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks Penticton. BC Since the early 1900's people have regulated the level and discharge of Okanagan Lake. These efforts have led to the development of the current system of dams and channelized reaches of river which control the waters from Okanagan Lake to Osoyoos Lake. The management of lake levels and flows has been controversial from the outset. Although early efforts at controlling Okanagan Lake were exclusively directed at improving navigation capability between Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, others interests soon surfaced. The first of these interests included the maintenance of minimum lake levels for navigation in shallow areas around the lake and a desire to reduce flood levels in Kelowna and other low lying areas. Following a prolonged drought between 1929- 1931 the value of the lake as a storage reservoir to support irrigation was also recognized. Still later fisheries, tourism and recreational interest began to receive consideration in the development of water management strategies. Even now, some 90 years since the initial efforts were made to manage Okanagan Lake and River and despite several attempts at consultation to reach agreement on the management of the lake, the regulation of the system remains controversial. Pre-Development Lake Levels : Very little data is available on the natural range of Okanagan Lake levels and outflows prior to regulation, although there are some anecdotal observations. About 1908 a request was made to the federal government for improvements to the channel of Okanagan River to permit small shallow draught vessels to operate between Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake.

  • Steamboats on Okanagan Lake

Sicamous departs from Okanagan Landing during World War I Photo courtesy Kelowna Museum 34 STEAMBOATS ON OKANAGAN LAKE The Importance of Water Travel Lakes, rivers, and oceans have been important for thousands of years. People have used waterways as a means of exploration and transportation. Exploration opened up new lands. Often, new settlements were built near waterways. Once people settled in new areas, they needed a way to get supplies in and trade goods out. This need for transportation was true on Okanagan Lake in the late 1800s. There were not many white people in the Okanagan Valley at that time because there was not an efficient transportation system in place. But as more commercial boats travelled on Okanagan Lake, more people settled on the lake’s shore. Water transportation helped to settle the Okanagan Valley. Dawn of the Steamboats The S.S. Aberdeen and the S.S. Okanagan were the first Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) sternwheelers on Okanagan Lake. S.S. stands for steamship. The CPR sternwheelers used steam power to drive the large paddlewheels at the back, or stern, of the boats. These boats were also called paddlewheelers because of the large paddlewheels. The sternwheelers were used to transport people, food, supplies, tools, clothes, and mail. They also carried horses, cattle, and 35 machinery. They were a very important means of transportation in the Okanagan Valley. The CPR built the Aberdeen and the Okanagan because there was a need for regular transportation from Okanagan Landing, which was at the end of the Shuswap & Okanagan Railway line, to Penticton at the south end of Okanagan Lake.
