Abstract:

Two British Columbia community forests, each a municipal forest operation, are located in the Districts of Mission and North Cowichan, respectively. Both have management histories going back over forty years. This paper presents details of these community forests, focussing on background and history, forest management programs, and goals and benefits. The forests are contrasted in terms of tenure and ecological conditions. They are found similar in terms of local control and overall management thrusts. The paper concludes with thoughts about the benefits of community control over nearby forest lands, and about the need for communities to form partnerships with industry and government as they seek to establish new community forests.

Abstract:

During the 1980s, a number of social, economic, and political changes in British Columbia enabled individuals and groups to influence actions which affected the operations and development of the community colleges of British Columbia. This is a study of influence and influencers in the community colleges of British Columbia. Examined are actions affecting the British Columbia community col- lege from 1980 1991. Determinants and outcomes of these actions, as well as those individuals or groups who influenced these actions, are identified.

Abstract:

Fine arts and culture have existed in British Columbia from the time that the First Peoples came to the North Pacific coast of Canada. Vancouver’s first fine arts library was established in 1930 at the Vancouver Public Library; significant collections have subsequently been developed at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design and the University of British Columbia. They serve a diverse clientele: students, artists and researchers. Outlook, a province-wide network, provides access via the Internet to library catalogues of public, college and institution libraries throughout the Province.

Abstract:

Second Growth: Community Economic Development in Rural British Columbia, Sean Markey, John Pierce, Mark Roseland and Kelly Vodden, Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2005, pp. 352.This theoretically rich, community economic development (CED) work, written by four members of the Centre for Sustainable Community Development (formerly the Community Economic Development Centre) at Simon Fraser University, is the product of a three-year participatory-action-based research project involving four “forest-based” British Columbia communities. Two Aboriginal communities and two municipalities were case studied as part of an action-learning exercise in order to gain “insight into the apparent conflict between the economic imperative and fluidity of capital versus the lived worlds of rural and small time places” (3). Through their empirical studies of the four communities, the authors argue that CED, fostered at the local level, can allow for the kind of capacity building that is needed to create diversified, sustainable economic futures for resource-based rural and small-town communities. They are careful, however, to distinguish between the use of CED as a “localized and palliative strategy” for marginalized communities caught in the throes of political and economic dependency, and the possibilities for a more robust (theoretically balanced) version of CED, which can become part and parcel of rural and small-town locally-based planning and development. While recognizing the appropriateness of CED in either situation, they argue that a host of negative economic and political factors, which are intensifying under the direction of neo-liberal ideological thinking, have resulted in a pressing need for the more robust form of community development and corresponding revitalization strategies.

Abstract:

British Columbia is a diverse province, with ecosystems ranging from semi-arid deserts to valley glaciers and vast ice fields. By world standards, BC has an abundance of fresh water in its lakes and rivers. However, rivers have been exploited for social and industrial purposes, often to the detriment of the natural values. Community groups and non-government organizations have been active in rehabilitating and restoring waterways. The Outdoor Recreation Council of BC is a provincial non-government organization that has been instrumental in river conservation issues in BC. Three key initiatives have been established by the Council since its formation in 1975. BC Rivers Day has grown into the largest river celebration of its kind in North America, and there is a move to establish a national Rivers Day in Canada based on the model established in BC. Second is the annual Endangered Rivers List compiled by the Council and released each spring. The third initiative is the River Recovery Project in which dams and impoundment structures were evaluated against a set of criteria. A short list of candidates was generated by the project that will be further studied to determine what actions should be taken to alter the management of the structures to restore ecological values of the rivers and streams on which they are built. The three initiatives described rely on local community support. The Outdoor Recreation Council of BC provides coordination, promotion, and publicity as well as some resource materials while local groups and communities take on stewardship roles for their local streams. This model may be useful for other jurisdictions.

Abstract:

“Idiot sticks” was a derogatory term used to describe miniature totem poles made as souvenirs for white tourists by the artists of the Kwakwaka'wakw people of British Columbia in the early twentieth century. Tracking the post-contact history of the Kwakwaka'wakw using a combination of historical accounts and interviews with contemporary Kwakwaka'wakw artists, this article explores the obscured subversive and satirical nature of these objects as a form of resistance to settler colonialism, and in doing so reconsiders who really could be considered the “idiot” in this exchange.

Abstract:

This critical reflection originated in a visit to the ‘Artists and Academics’ exhibition held at Fargo Creative Village, Coventry, 26 November 2016. My thoughts about the exhibition have served as a springboard to consider ideas of scholarship, art and community more broadly. I use my research on British artists from the early twentieth century, their ideas about the processes of viewing art and the spiritual in art, to discuss examples in the exhibition. I conclude by considering how this collaborative event can bring academic ideas into conversation with artworks. I suggest that the resulting exchanges may enable viewers to think differently about art and scholarship as well as enrich academic practice.

Abstract:

In 1981 the Nisga'a Tribal Council in New Aiyansh and North Coast Tribal Council in Prince Rupert commissioned a feasibility study to determine whether there was interest among Indian people of coastal British Columbia in pursuing registered nurse (RN) education. The study resulted in a three year project, the Northern Native Indian Professional Nursing Program (NNIPNP) offering RN preparation which addressed the personal, social and cultural needs of prospective students, their families and communities, while ensuring quality education at par with provincial standards. This article discusses the project as a community-based initiative and my roles as program coordinator, cultural broker, advocate, and liaison between communities, students and the educational institutions offering the RN program.

Abstract:

8098 Background: Limited information is available on alemtuzumab in the non-clinical trial setting. We evaluated its efficacy and safety in 42 consecutive unselected patients who received alemtuzumab monotherapy in British Columbia between October 2002 and August 2006. Methods: Information on patient demographics, baseline clinical and pathologic characteristics, dose and schedule of treatment, clinical response, survival, and toxicities associated with alemtuzumab were collected retrospectively. Results: Thirty-nine of 42 patients had chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 2 had mycosis fungoides, and 1 had T-cell post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. In contrast to previous reports, 42% were treated by community practitioners and 83% received alemtuzumab subcutaneously. The median time from diagnosis to alemtuzumab was 58 months, with a median age of 63 years at alemtuzumab treatment. Patients received a median of 4 treatments prior to starting alemtuzumab. One of 42 patients (2%) achieved a complete response, 20 (48%) achieved a partial response, 13 (31%) had stable disease, and 4 (10%) had progressive disease. The median post-alemtuzumab overall survival was 15.1 months and the median progression-free survival was 5.4 months. Response to alemtuzumab correlated with an increased progression- free survival (11 months versus 3.6 months, p=0.001) and time to next treatment (15.7 months versus 5.4 months, p=0.004). Significant adverse events included grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (75%) or thrombocytopenia (42%), infections (54%) including CMV reactivation (6%), and death (12%). Patients who received alemtuzumab in the community setting had a higher incidence of febrile neutropenia (p=0.05) and infection (p=0.03) compared to academic centres, although no difference in overall survival was noted. Conclusion: Alemtuzumab can be safely administered in a wide variety of clinical settings, including community practice, and is associated with a high level of activity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:

A multiple case study approach is used to investigate community forest implementation challenges in British Columbia, Canada. Stakeholder interviews, document review and visits to the case sites (Denman Island, Malcolm Island, Cortes Island and Creston) were used to collect data on events occurring between 1990 and 2005. In addition to case-specific challenges, our analysis confirmed common challenges related to a lack of support, consensus, and organizational resources as well as poor forest health and timber profiles, resistance from conventional forest management, and competition for land and tenures. Development pressure emerged as a challenge for communities without land use decision making authority. The final section offers some lessons and recommendations.

Abstract:

SUMMARYAlthough community-onset bloodstream infection (BSI) is recognized as a major cause of morbidity and mortality, its epidemiology has not been well defined in non-selected populations. We conducted population-based surveillance in the Interior Health West region of British Columbia, Canada in order to determine the burden associated with community-onset BSI. A total of 1088 episodes were identified for an overall annual incidence of 117·8/100 000 of which 639 (58·7%) were healthcare-associated (HA) and 449 (41·3%) were community-associated (CA) BSIs for incidences of 69·2 and 48·6/100 000, respectively. The incidence of community-onset BSI varied by age and gender and elderly males were at the highest risk. Overall 964 (88·6%) episodes resulted in hospital admission for a median length of stay of 8 days; the total days of acute hospitalization associated with community-onset BSI was 13 530 days or 1465 days/100 000 population per year. The in-hospital mortality rate was 10·6% (102/964) and this was higher for HA-BSI (72/569, 12·7%) compared to CA-BSI (30/395, 7·6%, P = 0·014) episodes. Community-onset BSI, especially HA-BSI, is associated with a major burden of illness.

Abstract:

The effects of climate change in many regions are expected to be significant, and likely to have a detrimental effect on the health of forests and the communities that often depend on those forests. At the same time climate change presents a challenge as it requires changes in both forest management, and the institutions and policies developed that govern forest management. In this paper, we report on a study assessing how Community Forests Organizations (CFOs) in British Columbia (BC), which were developed to manage forests according to the needs and desires of local communities and First Nations, are approaching climate change and whether or not they are responding to, or preparing for, its impacts. There are practical steps that CFOs can take to improve their ability to cope with future conditions such as planting a wider variety of species, practising different silvicultural techniques and increasing monitoring and observation of the forest. This paper gives an overview of what current capabilities exist in CFOs and suggests potential areas for targeted development.

Abstract:

Identifying the bird communities of a habitat could contribute to conservation efforts and provide benchmarks for ecosystem studies. Garry Oak (Quercus garryana) ecosystems in British Columbia are among the most endangered in Canada and warrant conservation. Four bird communities were determined by analyzing an extensive sample of Garry Oak habitat bird data. These communities were defined objectively by aggregations of the bird species themselves from across the various sites and areas. Characteristic species of these communities include American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus), Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii), Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) and Chestnut-backed Chickadee (Poecile rufescens) in community 1; House Wren (Troglodytes aedon), Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi), Purple Finch (Carpodacus purpureus), White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys), and Pine Siskin (Carduelis pinus) in community 2; Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana),Yellow-rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata), American Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Pacific-slope Flycatcher (Empidonax difficilis), Cassin’s Vireo (Vireo cassinii) and Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) in community 3; and Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) and European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) in community 4. Differences between the communities are suggested from the life history traits of the species, including a community consisting mostly of insectivores when on breeding territory (number 1), one with species foraging primarily in shrubs and trees (community 3), and another with tree-nesting ground gleaners (number 4). One community (number 3) had analogues in two widely disparate areas: oak-associated in north-central New Mexico, and aspen (Populus tremuloides)-related in northcentral British Columbia; otherwise communities reported in the literature were generally not directly comparable.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The risk of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection during childhood is difficult to estimate without population serosurveys because HAV-related symptoms are often mild at this age. Few serosurveys have been conducted in Canada. The present study surveyed teenagers in two nonurban regions of British Columbia where the historical rate of reported HAV either exceeded (region A) or was less than (region B) the historical provincial rate.METHODS: A point prevalence survey of salivary HAV-specific immunoglobulin G was conducted in high schools among grade 9 students in regions A and B. A questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic data. The survey was extended to grade 1 and grade 5 students in community 1 of region B. Associations between risk factors and prior infection were evaluated by logistic regression.RESULTS: Eight hundred eleven grade 9 students were tested. Antibody to HAV was detected in 4.7% of students in region A (95% CI 2.9% to 7.2%) and 9.6% of students in region B (95% CI 6.9% to 12.9%). The region B figure reflected HAV antibody prevalence rates of 19.5% in community 1 and 2.5% in the remainder of the region. Younger students in community 1 had low HAV antibody to HAV prevalence rates (3.9% for grade 1 and 3.1% for grade 5), and positive tests in this community were associated with a particular school, foreign travel and brief residence. The risk factors for HAV infection in grade 9 students were not determined.CONCLUSIONS: Children in nonurban areas of British Columbia are generally at low risk of HAV infection during the first decade of life regardless of the reported population rates, thereby permitting the consideration of school-based HAV immunization programs.

This qualitative investigation identifies a condition of frenetic change experienced by organizational members at two university col- leges in British Columbia, Canada, during the past decade. Prominent outcomes of the formal designation of five former community colleges as university colleges included curricular change and the evolution of a new institutional mission. The brief history of the university colleges of British Columbia parallels the process of economic globalization in the province of British Columbia, and the responses of managers and faculty at university colleges indicate that globalization influenced the formation and functioning of these institutions.

Abstract:

Indigitization is a British Columbia-based collaborative initiative between Indigenous communities and organizations, the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC), the Museum of Anthropology (MOA), the UBC iSchool at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Archives and Special Collections, to facilitate capacity building in Indigenous information management. This project is committed to clarifying processes and identifying issues in the conservation, digitization, and management of Indigenous community knowledge. It does so by providing information resources through the Indigitization toolkit and by enabling community-led audio cassette digitization projects through grant funding and training. Indigitization seeks to grow and work with a network of practitioners to develop effective practices for the management of digital heritage that support the goals of individual communities.

Full text

Abstract:

Ten-year response of plant communities to disk trenching, plowing, rotoclearing and windrow burning was studied on two contrasting sites to address concerns that mechanical site preparation reduces structural and species diversity. Cover and height of all species on randomly located subplots within 0.05- to 0.075-ha treatment plots were used to develop indices of volume, structural diversity, and species diversity; to ordinate the plots; and to correlate species diversity with crop-tree performance. At both sites, community response was strongly influenced by the severity of site preparation. On a boreal site dominated by willow (Salix L. spp.), green alder (Alnus crispa (Ait.) Pursh ssp. crispa) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), site preparation increased structural diversity and had little effect on species diversity. High-severity treatments increased non-native species abundance 10- to 16-fold while only marginally enhancing growth of planted white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) over medium-severity treatments. On a nutrient-poor sub-boreal site, species diversity declined with increasing treatment severity and with increasing lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) stem volume. Velvet-leaved blueberry (Vaccinium myrtilloides Michx.) was highly sensitive to mechanical disturbance. Moderate mechanical treatments appear to improve conifer performance while causing little change to plant communities, but high severity treatments can cause substantial change.

Abstract:

643 public school principals in British Columbia, Canada responded to a survey on administrative stress. The findings show that stress is a serious concern for these administrators. In contrast to other studies of administrative stress, “administering the negotiated contract” was a source of stress uniquely important to school principals in British Columbia. A multivariate analysis indicated that principals who had greater total scores on the measure of administrative stress perceived that administrative isolation was a problem for them, reported greater stress due to the job, had seriously considered leaving school administration, felt that principals were under greater stress than other members of their community and reported that they had to cope with scarce or limited resources at their schools.

Abstract:

The Sts’ailes Primary Health Care Project is a partnership in Sts’ailes, British Columbia, between Sts’ailes, Fraser Health Authority (FHA), and academic researchers at the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia. The creation of knowledge by and for Aboriginal Peoples and a commitment to strength-based research are key aspects of the project. These key elements guide the partners as they work together to explore and identify ways to enhance health services for the Sts’ailes people and other FHA clients in the region. This paper describes how the principles of place-based learning communities (PbLCs) are being implemented within the collaboration in order to facilitate the co-production of culturally appropriate strengthbased knowledge that supports the health and wellness of the Sts’ailes community. PbLCs are a welcome innovative mechanism for generating a cross-cultural understanding of local health and wellness issues. This paper makes a contribution to the documentation of successful participatory community-academic research partnerships.

Abstract:

This study examines and evaluates the effects of one-time funding on capacity building of health and social welfare organizations in a remote and northern section of British Columbia Canada. The Province of British Columbia awarded a two million dollar grant (Canadian) to the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). Organizations applied for funds through a competitive process that was managed by the School of Social Work at UNBC. Twenty-five different community organizations and agencies received funding for a period of eighteen months. The organizations and agencies delivered a range of services and activities located in remote First Nations communities as well as the natural resource-based single industry towns of northern BC.

Abstract:

Abstract Deer Lake and its watershed, entirely within the municipality of Burnaby, is located at the geographic centre of the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area (population 1.5 million). The lake has had a long history of gradually escalating water quality problems that have included high coliform bacterial levels, bans on swimming, “swimmer’s itch” outbreaks, heavy surface algal blooms, dense weed growths in the shallows, low water transparency, and dominance by “coarse” fish species. Nevertheless, the lake has served the community as a regional park providing various outdoor recreational opportunities that have included walking, boating, swimming and fishing. The history of its water quality problems is reviewed, the results of the various investigations and research on the system are summarized, and the attempts to improve and manage lake conditions by the District of Burnaby are outlined. The role that the community, senior levels of government and educational institutions have played in this process is also discussed.

Abstract:

AbstractChironomid (midge) remains analyzed from an 8.95-m-long sediment core from Marion Lake reveal successional changes over the last 12,000 yr since deglaciation. A late-glacial Heterotrissocladius-dominated association characterizes the earliest sediments. Succeeding this community, at the onset of the Holocene, is a Tanytarsini-dominated assemblage. The transition between these communities occurs during a time of rapid climatic amelioration, preceding an early Holocene xerothermic interval. The late-glacial fossil fauna is suggestive of more northerly affinities. Similar sequences have been reported in late-glacial lake sediments elsewhere in North America and in Europe. The composite picture of these chironomid assemblages suggests the gradual retreat of a formerly widely distributed, cold stenothermous fauna. The response of the chironomid community accords well with paleoclimatic inferences based on pollen data at the lake. Subsequent postglacial changes are less pronounced and most are probably attributable to the gradual shallowing of the basin. Chironomid remains from shallow, weakly stratified lakes may yield valuable paleoclimatological data.

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉl'utilisation de l'ensemble des services de soins actifs par les pensionnaires des CHSLD (centres d'hébergement et de soins de longue durée) au Canada n'a pas été bien documentée. Nous visions à déterminer les principales causes de l'hospitalisation des pensionnaires des CHSLD et à en comparer le taux avec celui des personnes âgées résidant dans la communauté. Nous avons analysé une cohorte rétrospective à l'aide de données administratives sur la santé au niveau de la population, y compris toutes les personnes de 65 ans et plus résidant dans un CHSLD en Colombie-Britannique entre avril 1996 et mars 1999. Les taux d'hospitalisation des pensionnaires des CHSLD ont été comparés aux taux estimatifs des personnes âgées résidant dans la communauté, à l'aide de ratios standardisés d'incidence en fonction du sexe (RSI): RSI = 2,81 (95% CI: 2,71, 2,91) pour les fractures du fémur ; 1,96 (1,88, 2,04) pour la pneumonie ; 0,73 (0,70, 0,76) pour d'autres maladies du coeur; et 1,01 (0,99, 1,02) toutes causes confondues. Les pensionnaires des CHSLD sont plus susceptibles de présenter un écart plus considérable du taux d'hospitalisation pour une fracture du fémur ou une pneumonie, les pensionnaires des CHSLD représentant environ le quart des aînés de la Colombie-Britannique hospitalisés pour une fracture du fémur.

Abstract:

This qualitative investigation of higher education institutional development addresses new universities that were former community colleges in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Stemming from an original study conducted nearly two decades earlier, this investigation’s data were collected from the same institutions and from similar sources: institutional documents, government policies, and interviews from faculty and administrators; thus, qualifying as a longitudinal qualitative investigation. This investigation explains institutional instability and identity change as a result of new government policies and institutional norms during the period of 2000-2013. Future research can monitor the influence of neoliberal practices on the development of these new model higher education institutions in the Canadian context.
