  • History of the Government Wireless Service
    AUTHOR - W.J. Bowerman EARLY HISTORY OF THE GOVERNMENT WIRELESS SERVICE ON THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST. A small wooden shack on top of Douglas Hill, Ross Bay, Victoria, did not evoke much interest amongst the nearby Victoria citizens in 1906, although the wooden mast outside the shack, with copper wires suspended from the top of the mast, might have created a feeling of curiosity. However, that little shack does have a certain amount of historical interest as it contained the first radio station to be operated in British Columbia. The Pacific Wireless Company of Seattle, which later became the United Wireless Company, established it. The same Company also established stations at Friday Harbour on San Juan Island, Port Townsend and Seattle. A radio network was set up between Victoria and Seattle, messages being relayed through the Friday Harbour station. At this time radio was rapidly becoming an important factor as an aid to shipping and the shipping companies were urging that Government Radio Stations be established on the B.C. Coast. Shortly before this time the United States steamer Valencia was wrecked off the West Coast of Vancouver Island, near Pachena Point, with the loss. of many lives. The lack of communications along the West Coast of the Island was a serious handicap in the rendering of assistance to shipwrecked vessels. This was especially so in the loss of the Valencia and the records indicate that the Valencia shipwreck hastened the Government's decision to establish radio stations on the B.C. Coast. The necessary Government funds were appropriated and officials from Ottawa arrived on this Coast in 1907 to select suitable sites for the stations.

    Hesquiat Peninsula Hesquiat Peninsula Clayoquot Biosphere’s Northen Fringe Vancouver Island, BC 91 Hesquiat Peninsula Clayoquot Sound Regional Map 92 Hesquiat Peninsula Hesquiat Peninsula Looking north across the beaches at Escalante and Burdwood Point at the entrance to Nootka Sound. Hesquiat Peninsula - Vancouver Island The Hesquiat Peninsula is a west coast promontory of Vancouver Island and divides Clayoquot and Nootka Sounds. The topography of the peninsula is comprised of a low, flat swampy forest rimmed with a stunning shoreline. The shape of the peninsula is square cut with a long stretch of rocky shoreline running north-south from Burdwood Point, at the entrance to Nootka Sound, to the historic lighthouse at Estevan Point. From Estevan Point the coast turns abruptly 90 degrees west- east across to Smokehouse Bay. At the east end of Smokehouse Bay the shore swings another right angle south-north from Matlahaw Point past Hesquiat village and a series of immense beaches to Boat Basin at the head of Hesquiat Harbour. Much of the land on the Hesquiat Peninsula is now Provincial Park, from Escalante Point all the way around to Hot Springs Cove which is part of Maquinna Marine Park. This region is ancestral home of the Hesquiat First Nation, of the west coast Nuu-chah-nulth people, and there are residents at the tiny outpost of Hesquiat Village. Points of interest along the route include the beaches at Escalante, Estevan Point lighthouse, Hesquiat Village, beaches around Anton’s Spit and Cougar Annie’s Garden in Boat Basin. At the time of writing the Hesquiat trail is one of the least trodden paths along the coast of Vancouver Island, but destined to become one of the most popular.

  • Officer in Charge Gov't Radio Station Tofino, BC Dear
    March 10, 1981 (return address removed FWS) Officer in Charge Gov’t Radio Station Tofino, B.C. Dear Sir: I have written a piece for the Society of Wireless Pioneers but am not sure of all the facts. I assume that your station is VAE and I am curious to know if it has actually been moved to Tofino or if this is just a mailing address and the station is still at the lighthouse. I would appreciate any comments that you have regarding what I have written. Very truly yours, (Laurence Gray) K3AK ESTEVAN POINT WIRELESS STATION (VAE) Laurence Gray A number of coastal wireless stations were built in North America in the 1905 to 1910 period. In those days there were few telegraph operators in the United States and Canada that could handle International Morse at 24 words per minute because most operators had been trained in “railroad” or “American” Morse. Eleven of the letters and all of the numbers are different between the two codes. American Morse is less satisfactory for transmission under noisy conditions because of the spaced letters. For example the letter C is dot-dot-space-dot while sending and I and then an E requires a slightly longer space between the second and third dots. International cable operators used International but with cable code the operators were much more adept in reading inked tape than in listening through noise. It is for this reason that many of the earlier operators were “imported” from Europe because it was much easier to train an operator to use the rather simple electrical equipment than to teach the new code.

  • 2003 Pacific Region State of the Ocean Background This Report Documents the State of the Ocean for the Year 2003, and Into 2004
    Pacific Region Ocean Status Report 2004 2003 Pacific Region State of the Ocean Background This report documents the state of the ocean for the year 2003, and into 2004. The physical, chemical and biological state of the marine environment impacts the yield (growth, reproduction, survival, distribution) of marine organisms as well as the operations of the fishing industry. Changes in the state of the ocean may contribute directly to variations in resource yield, reproductive potential, catch success, year-class strength, recruitment, and spawning biomass, as well as influence the perceived health of the ecosystem and the efficiency and profitability of the fishing industry. Because of the importance of environmental changes to marine resources, extensive physical, chemical and biological data are collected during research vessel surveys. These data are augmented by time series measurements from coastal light stations, moored subsurface current meters, coastal tide gauge stations, autonomous ocean profilers, and weather buoys. Additional information is provided by satellite remote sensing (thermal imagery, chlorophyll, and sea level heights), by observations from ships-of-opportunity and fishing vessels, and by satellite-tracked drifting buoys. Vessel survey data, tide gauge records, moored surface meteorological observations and drifting buoy data are edited prior to transmission to Canada’s Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) for archival in the national database. A working copy of the database is maintained at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, British Columbia, along with current meter, lighthouse and zooplankton data. Fisheries data are maintained in archives at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo. Executive Summary The weak El Nino and Southern Oscillation of 2002 to 2003 set up anomalously warm sea surface temperatures and anomalous downwelling-favourable cyclonic winds in the Canadian region of the Gulf of Alaska from October 2002 to early 2003.

  • Pointe-Au-Père Lighthouse
    POINTE-AU-PÈRE LIGHTHOUSE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OF CANADA MANAGEMENT PLAN Gaspésie Field Unit February 2007 Cover page photos: Lightkeeper’s house, assistant lightkeeper’s house, and 1909 lighthouse Musée de la mer / Y. Couillard Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station from the St. Lawrence River Parks Canada / J. Audet Aerial view of the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station and old pilot boat wharf Parks Canada / J. Audet Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas offer Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast unique opportunities to experience and understand our wonderful country. They are places of learning, recreation and fun where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors unique opportunities to experience Canada. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our goal is to ensure that each of these special places is conserved. We see a future in which these special places will continue to contribute in meaningful ways to Canadians’ appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of Canada, to the economic well-being of communities, and to the vitality of our society. Our vision is to build a culture of heritage conservation in Canada by offering Canadians exceptional opportunities to experience our natural and cultural heritage, opportunities that celebrate our protected heritage. These values form the foundation of the new management plan for Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site of Canada.

On July 7, 2019, we visited the site of the approved clearcut known as “Walls Brook” (provincial harvest plan number SH068270) in Shelburne County to document the bird species present on that site. The latest information available to us from the provincial Department of Lands and Forestry suggests that this site will be harvested imminently (although we have been unable to obtain updates from DLF in recent weeks). During our visit, we documented the presence of 31 bird species, 25 of which are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, SC 1994, c 22 (“MBCA”). We also observed numerous signs of breeding bird behaviour, including by protected species, which suggests the presence of nests and/or eggs on the site. As a result, we have reason to believe that clearcutting the Walls Brook site during nesting season will result in violations of section 6 of the Migratory Birds Regulations, CRC, c 1035.
