Official Community Plan Bylaw ... Page 5 of 82 Bylaw No. 1750 pertaining to the subject portion of Lot A, District Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558. PURPOSE The proposed bylaw amendment is to: 1. Amend Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2231 by re-designating a portion of Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558 from Natural Open Space to Neighbourhood Residential; and 2. Amend Zoning Bylaw No. 1750 by rezoning a portion of Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558 from P2 – Parks and Open Space to RMH – Manufactured Home Residential. An estimation of the area to which these bylaws would apply is shown in attachment 1. In a letter to the City (Attachment 2) the applicant proposes to rezone and subdivide the subject property for the placement of manufactured homes that “will provide the opportunity for viable, affordable, infill housing in Fernie”. BACKGROUND The original application, received on May 13, 2016 was to amend the OCP and Zoning bylaws to allow for a development similar to the current proposal, which would include manufactured homes (RMH). However, the applicant later changed their application to amend the OCP and Zoning bylaws for a development that would include single-family dwelling units (R1B). On June 29, 2017, City Staff received a final application, changing the proposal back to the original OCP and Zoning amendments. As of July 6, 2017, City Staff has not received a complete application including the total area to be included in the proposed bylaw amendments. As such, approval of the application, and first and second reading of the Bylaws cannot occur until a complete application is received.

  • Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004
    Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004 Note – all information is based on having a camp E of the headwaters of Icefall Brook at an elevation of 7100’ and with an UTM of 963476. Estimates of the mountain elevations vary according to different guidebooks. We will get accurate information at the GMC. Elevations I have used are estimates according to the data now present. Names given to the peaks are a combination of “real” names as per the Canadian National Geographic Names Board, given and traditional names used in guidebooks and journal articles. The Major Glaciers of the Area The cluster of peaks surrounding Mt Forbes, the highest point in Banff National Park and 7th highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, is dominated by two significant glacier systems. The Mons Glacier is bounded on the W by the Continental Divide. This system drains entirely into the Glacier River after being joined by the W and N Forbes glaciers. The Lyell Icefield is 50 sq km in extent and on the W side drains into the tributaries of the Bush River system, including Icefall Brook. On the E side this system drains into the Glacier River system. A campsite below the toe of the SE Lyell glacier is the traditional and favored spot for climbing Mt Forbes or the Lyells. There are also smaller glacier systems to the S and E of Mt Forbes. Peaks to the East of the Icefall Brook GMC Ø Mt Forbes – (3612m/11,852’) UTM – 047452 FA – SW Ridge - 1902 (J Outram, JN Collie, HEM Stutfield, GM Weed, H Wooley, C Kaufman, H Kaufman) A long and demanding climb not often repeated.

    Remembering the Forgotten Archaeology at the Morrissey WWI Internment Camp by Sarah Beaulieu B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2011 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Archaeology Faculty of Environment Sarah Beaulieu 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2015 Approval Name: Sarah Eve Beaulieu Degree: Master of Arts (Archaeology) Title: Remembering the Forgotten Archaeology at the Morrissey WWI Internment Camp Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Dana Lepofsky Professor Dr. Eldon Yellowhorn Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Ross Jamieson Supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Adrian Myers External Examiner Archaeologist Amec Foster Wheeler Date Defended/Approved: April 9, 2015 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract To date, there is very little known archaeologically about First World War era Internment Camps, especially in Canada where many of the Federal Internment records were destroyed in the 1950s. Archaeologists can play a fundamental role in contributing knowledge where there remains a lack of oral and documentary evidence through a triangulation of data sets commonly used by historical archaeologists. This thesis focuses on one of Canada’s twenty-four WWI internment camps – Morrissey Internment Camp, and specifically its cemetery. Through an archaeological landscape analysis, GPR survey of the cemetery, archives retrieval and oral history interviews, the story of the Morrissey Internment Camp was brought to light and gaps in the historical record finally answered. Keywords: Internment archaeology; Confinement; GPR; Morrissey; PoWs; WWI; Austro-Hungarian; German v Dedication To my children Kamran and Sophia who will inherit this world, and make it a much better place.

  • The Alpine Club Library. 149
    . The Alpine Club Library. 149 Gustav Hegi's book, now under review, appeals to us because it is an improvement both as to accuracy of the colours of the plants therein depicted, which are produced in Germany by the chromo­ lithographic process, and also because of the letterpress which is of English production. It possesses over 250 illustrations (mostly in colour) of the commoner Alpine flowers, together with simple, non-technical descriptions, indexes of plant names, and a glossary of botanical terms. To the tourist and visitor to the Alps who may not be acquainted with the botany of the hills, this conveniently portable book is to be recommended. It should add to the pleasure of a holiday, and help one to be an enthusiastic botanist of Alpine plants. Der Grossgloclcner. Hsg. von Hans Fischer. Miinchen : Rother.

  • North America
    NOTES-NORTH AMERICA AUSTRALASIA AUSTRALIA Henry Barber made a considerable impact during a 6 week visit. At Frog Buttress in Queensland, where there were previously no climbs above grade 21 which did not require aid, he made 4 clean ascents of grade 23 and 12 of 22. He also made 11 free first ascents in the area. It was hoped that his 6 state tour might provide some basis for com­ parative grading of different climbing areas. However, this expectation did not material­ ise, although in some instances he tended to grade climbs slightly lower than the guide books, so that overall some confusion resulted. One of the first climbs graded 23 in Australia (by I. Lewis at Mount Buffalo Gorge in Victoria) was later downgraded to 22 by Barber. However, local climbers have not been inactive, and many outstanding climbs have been achieved in all the states. The elimination of aid on hard routes is a continuing theme in all this activity. NEW ZEALAND In the Mount Cook area, poor weather hampered climbing. However, J. Fantini with various companions established several new routes, the W Buttress of Mount Vancouver from the La Perouse Glacier, the right-hand buttress of the N face of Mount Hicks and the 'Hidden' Balfour Face of Mount Tasman. Late in the season W. Denz, P. Herron and M. Judge completed a new route on the S face of Mount Hicks which had defeated them the previous winter. The Arrowsmiths are becoming a popular region, the attraction being a number of steep ice-gullies. The Darrans are being developed after a spate of first ascents in the last few seasons.
