Nancy Greene Provincial Park

Der Nancy Greene Provincial Park (auch Nancy Greene Park) ist ein etwa 202 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park im zentralen Süden der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, westlich von Castlegar. Der Park wurde nach der ehemaligen kanadische Skirennläuferin und Olympiasiegerin sowie späteren kanadischen Senatorin für die Provinz British Columbia Nancy Greene benannt, die im südlich gelegenen Rossland aufwuchs und dort 1968 ein Rennen des Riesenslalom-Weltcups gewinnen konnte. Anlage Der Park liegt im Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, an der Einmündung des Highway 3B in den Highway 3, im südlichen Bereich der Monashee Mountains. Er liegt südlich des Crowsnest Highways und wird durch den Highway 3B in einen östlichen sowie einen westlichen Bereich geteilt. Im westlichen und wesentlich größeren Bereich des Parks liegt der Nancy Greene Lake, welcher über den Blueberry Creek in den Columbia River entwässert. Für den Park wird bisher keine IUCN-Kategorie (Not Reported) ausgewiesen. Der Park verfügt nur über geringe touristische Infrastruktur. Bei dem für den Park ausgewiesenen Campingplatz handelt es sich lediglich um einen Parkplatz auf dem das Campen erlaubt ist. Geschichte Der Park wurde am 25. Januar 1972 als einer der Provincial Parks in British Columbia eingerichtet. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden dabei sowohl seine Größe wie auch sein Schutzstatus geändert. Zuletzt wurde im Jahr 2000 die Rechtsgrundlage seiner Einrichtung geändert. Wie jedoch bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass die Gegend, lange bevor sie von europäischen Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde, in diesem Fall Jagd- und Siedlungsgebiet verschiedener Gruppen der First Nations, hauptsächlich der Binnen-Salish (hier der Okanagan, der Secwepemc und der Sinixt), war. Flora und Fauna Mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System wird das Ökosystem von British Columbia in verschiedene biogeoklimatische Zonen eingeteilt. Biogeoklimatische Zonen zeichnen sich durch ein grundsätzlich identisches oder sehr ähnliches Klima sowie gleiche oder sehr ähnliche biologische und geologische Voraussetzungen aus. Daraus resultiert in den jeweiligen Zonen dann grundsätzlich auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik wird der Park der Interior Cedar—Hemlock Zone zugeordnet. Benachbarte Parks Der größte Park in Umgebung des Nancy Greene Provincial Park ist der weiter westlich am Highway 3 gelegene Gladstone Provincial Park. Die weiteren nächstgelegenen Provinzparks sind in Richtung Osten, nordöstlich der Gemeinde Trail, der Champion Lakes Provincial Park und in südöstlicher Richtung, am Südrand der Gemeinde Montrose, der Beaver Creek Provincial Park. Außerdem in südlicher Richtung, unweit der Grenze zwischen Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten, der King George VI Provincial Park.

Scwʼexmx Tribal Council

The Scwʼexmx Tribal Council, officially referred to until May 27, 2019, as Nicola Tribal Association, also known as the Nicola Tribal Council and the Nicola Valley Tribal Council, is an official First Nations tribal council composed of bands in the Nicola Valley, Thompson Canyon and Fraser Canyon areas of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is one of three tribal councils of the Nlakaʼpamux (Thompson) people, the other two being the Nlakaʼpamux Nation Tribal Council and the Fraser Canyon Indian Administration. The Lytton First Nation and Lower Nicola Indian Band community, does not belong to any of the three Tribal Councils. In 2009 Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) announced cutbacks, to result in making Tribal Councils obsolete and discontinued as service agencies to First Nations or Band organizations. Funding allocations had been lowered annually for some time. Indian & Northern Affairs Canada believed that Tribal Councils were not meeting service obligations under the law. The department proposed streamlining the Tribal Council funding to send it directly to First Nations, the Métis, and Urban First Nation population centers. As of 2009 Indian & Northern Affairs Canada was revamping the Governance portion to fund Band Offices, Tribal Councils, and certain Non-profit First Nation organizations.
