    Extractions: Early British Columbia History This illustration shows the archway in Victoria, British Columbia, prepared for the visit of Lord Dufferin in 1876, to placate British Columbians, angry at the federal government for not living up to their promise of a transcontinental railway to the West coast. "Carnarvon terms" refers to the compromise between the provincial and federal governments which allowed for the creation of a railway on Vancouver Island between Esquimalt and Nanaimo. The Senate, however, defeated the "E & N" bill. Disillusionment with Canada increased in B.C. until in 1878 a resolution was moved by the provincial government that the new province withdraw from confederation. The separatist movement in B.C. is as old as union with Canada. (This article first appeared in the Western Separatist Papers of October 1983.) by Richard Lewers The union of Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec) into the province of Canada was the beginning of the annexation of all of British North America. At that time (1858) the population of British North America was 3.5 million. Ontario and Quebec had 2.5 million of this total, with most of the remainder being in the Atlantic region. What we know as the Prairies had approximately 10,000 people and British Columbia had about the same. In 1860, Victoria was a thriving, growing city from the initial impact of the B.C. gold rush in 1854. The population had grown quickly, as had their commerce. Victoria was a free port (no taxes or tariffs) and up to 1400 ships a year were entering her harbour. There were seventeen steamers for trading on our coast, nine of which were built in Victoria, as were eighteen of the twenty-eight schooners handling our shipping.

    Extractions: Press Our Catalogue Released in August 2002, this impressive collection of original writing and historic photographs sets out to assess the history of the Crowsnest/Elk Valley region from fresh perspectives. By examining a wide range of social and political topics, A World Apart recalls how the small southeast corner of British Columbia and the equally small southwest corner of Alberta together formed a society that was unique. When noted Canadian journalist Bruce Hutchinson wrote about his visit to the Ashcroft area of British Columbia in the 1950s, he said the scenery was "for the strong eye only." His opinion was that the harshness of the landscape could please but few observers. With this collection of historic articles and photographs, Pat Foster proudly steps forward as one who delights in that landscape. The Crowsnest Pass and the Elk Valley are part of a geographic region that stretches from Calgary, Alberta to Cranbrook, British Columbia to Spokane, Washington. Yet the economy, politics and social structure of the region have always set it apart from its neighbours in Alberta, the United States and the rest of British Columbia. Consequently, the often unique historical experience of the area is usually neglected by writers of B.C. history

    Extractions: The First Nations, who populated the coast were bands such as Bella Coola, Cowichan, Haida, Niska and, Salish. They found rich supplies of seafood, wildlife, and plants and established a sophisticated culture and trade. The First Nations of the interior had to live a more nomadic life, as they had to adapt to ever changing climatic conditions. They migrated as the herds of wildlife moved. Bands of the interior First Nations are Athapaskans, Chilcotin, Okanagan, Shuswap and Kootenay. The first Europeans arrived in 1778, when Captain James Cook landed on Nootka Island, on the north western coast of Vancouver Island. In 1792 Captain George Vancouver made his way to Nootka with his ships Discovery and Chatham. In the meantime also the Spanish had found their way to Vancouver Island and there were rivalries between England and Spain about Vancouver Island. But already in 1795 the last Spanish ship had been ordered out of the region and made an end to the rivalries and the Spanish influence. After years of arguments with the United States Vancouver Island became an English crown colony in 1849.

After the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) absorbed the North West Company in 1821, the region became a preserve of the new company. In 1843, Fort Victoria was established by James Douglas as an HBC trading post. Rival British and American claims to the area were settled three years later when the boundary was set at the 49th parallel (see Oregon , state), but further controversy led to the San Juan Boundary Dispute . Partly as protection against American expansion, Vancouver Island was ceded (1849) to Britain by the HBC and became a crown colony.

Partly as protection against American expansion, Vancouver Island was ceded (1849) to Britain by the HBC and became a crown colony. In 1858 gold was discovered in the sandbars and tributaries of the Fraser River. The gold rushes that resulted brought profound changes. Fort Victoria boomed as a supply base for miners, and a town sprang up around it. Officials of the crown were dispatched to keep order and to supervise government projects and the building of roads. Some 30,000 miners moved into what was then unorganized territory; this led to the creation (1858) of a new colony on the mainland, called British Columbia, and the end of the HBC's supremacy. In 1863 the newly settled territory about the Stikine River was added to British Columbia.

    Extractions: A number of powerful factors affected the direction of nursing education in British Columbia in the 1980s. These included the Canadian Nurses’ Association’s "Entry to Practice" position, initiatives put forth by the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education aimed at improving university accessibility, along with a number of landmark reports at the federal and provincial levels on health care reform and health promotion. Fueled by these factors, the nursing education community sought ways to facilitate an innovative approach to baccalaureate education for nursing. Funding to support the Collaborative effort was first obtained in 1989. The initial partners were: Malaspina University College in Nanaimo, the University College of the Cariboo in Kamloops, Okanagan University College in Kelowna, Camosun College and the University of Victoria both in Victoria. In 1992, North Island College in Courtney and Langara College in Vancouver joined the partnership. In 1993, Selkirk College in Castlegar also joined. The most recent partners, Douglas College in New Westminister and Kwantlen University College in Surrey joined the group in 1994.

    Extractions: History of Victoria, British Columbia A Brief Biography Victoria Today In the spring of 1778 Captain James Cook, R.N., became the first known European to set foot on what is now British Columbia. Permanent European settlement, long delayed, was brought about by the gradual overland penetration of the fur trade companies towards the Pacific Coast. On March 13, 1843, Chief Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company James Douglas, accompanied by the pioneer Roman Catholic missionary Father J.B.Z. Bolduc, anchored off Clover Point in the "Beaver." The next day he selected the site for Fort Victoria. By mid-June Chief Factor Charles Ross was busy at work constructing the new post. Hence the City of Victoria was founded by the Hudson's Bay Company on March 14, 1843, as a trading post and fort at the location the native Indians called "Camosack" meaning "Rush of Water." Anticipating that under the Oregon Treaty, then being drawn up, the 49th parallel would be chosen as the International Boundary Line, the Hudson's Bay Company moved its fort from Vancouver on the Columbia River to the southern end of Vancouver Island. Thereafter, for a short time, it was known locally as "Fort Albert," but by resolution passed by the Council of the Northern Department of the Company meeting at Fort Garry on June 10, 1843, it was officially named "Fort Victoria" after the great British Queen.
