I had this photo enlarged in 36x24'' and I can't believe how beautiful it looks. This is only part of the waterfall as I tend to focus on details. In this case, I liked the moss on the boulders and the soft light in the forest.
I have it framed and it will be for sale at the Heart of the Valley Market this weekend in Courtenay. See you there!

“Gorrell said two of the major threats they face are predation and choosing the wrong habitat.

“We know that they like Alpine valleys and meadows where you can see a long way,” he said. “Sometimes they will move into cut blocks where the forestry industry has come through and ruined all the trees.””

Solidarity to union members and students facing cuts at North Island College. VIU and NIC have a friendly rivalry, but more importantly, we each serve as access-focused post-secondary institutions for portions of Vancouver Island north of Victoria.

The list of program suspensions is long. And unfortunately includes some skills in my field… but they are generally... broad cuts. I've included the list below.

The #BCNDP Government seems perfectly ok with post-secondary institutions in BC going through the worst cuts in at least 25 years (my career) and I would dare say - ever.

Hospital Unit Clerk Certificate.
Bachelor of Business Administration – Marketing.
Global Business Management Post-Graduate Diploma.

The Federal NDP are on Vancouver Island strategizing for the upcoming Parliament.

Interim leader Davies:

""There's an ebb and flow to politics and I view it as an opportunity for our party to regenerate, to reimagine what a bold, progressive NDP looks like on the federal scene.””

I loved Jack Layton too, but I think it is time to leave Jack to the past. They really need to find someone who is here, in this moment, and can present a real vision for Canadians to strive for and achieve that is the opposite of what the Conservatives and Red-Tory Liberals are trying to do.

Update on the cougar sightings. Since it moved on, I can now disclose its location: it was right outside my apartment building. 😮 I live in a city near a wooded area with a creek and trails so it's perfect for a cougar on the move. We see black bears, otters, black-tailed deer and many birds but a cougar? That was a first. Unfortunately I never saw it myself.

Last All Candidates meeting that I know of in the Courtenay-Alberni riding. It is taking place at the Alberni District Secondary School.

Starts at 2PM. You can see a livestream at the link.

This is a regular fixture in our local political scene for all elections. The students always come very prepared with excellent questions!

#Moss covered big leaf maple trees are the main tree species growing in & around the trails & #riparian zones at #HeadquartersTownsite Park in #Merville on #VancouverIsland.

This is a view of part of the #TsolumRiver.

In 1964, Mount Washington Copper Mining Co. moved into its watershed & built a copper mine. By 1966, they left the area after extracting 940,000 tonnes of waste rock. Even though mining lasted only 3 years, repercussions of the mining practices can still be seen today. What was once a river that was sprawling with 15,000 coho salmon depleted to only 14 by 1984. In 1997, Tsolum River Task Force was formed by over 200 local residents with the goal of restoring Tsolum River's health & productivity.

The river previously supported large populations of salmon, steelhead & cutthroat trout & contributed significantly to the local economy. The economic benefit to the community, in 2007 dollars, was estimated at $2.7 million annually. Past remediation efforts have contributed to improved water quality in the Tsolum River. However, further improvement is needed in order to allow restoration of the fisheries resource.

A 6-ways partnership was founded in 2001 between the BC Ministry of Environment, Timber West, Tsolum River Restoration Society, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Environment Canada & Fisheries & Oceans Canada.
This partnership led to a successful wetland project, which reduced the copper levels to the point that fish stocks have now returned to the Tsolum River. The wetland has a limited life of 5-10 years, after which copper leachate will again impact the emerging fish populations.

Greetings Mastodon! This is an #introduction Toot! And by golly I do mean Toot! 🚂 I am a lonely, almost forgotten railroad with a checkered past.
