SUMMARY:Book Launch: Eric Jamieson (Arctic Patrol: Canada's Fight for Arctic Sovereignty)
DESCRIPTION:Included in admission or membership to the Maritime Museum of BC\, this event will run in the museum gallery. There will be a Q&A period and a book signing\, with copies available in the museum gift shop. \n\n\n\nWalk-ins welcome\, but registering ahead ensures you get a spot! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIn the 1920s\, Canada’s claim on the Arctic archipelago was tenuous at best. In 1880\, the United Kingdom had handed over control of the area to the expanding dominion\, though much of the area was still unoccupied and unexplored. The North-West Mounted Police\, later to become the RCMP in 1920\, were assigned the territory by the Canadian Government. For years\, little was done to assert this control; over time\, remote detachments were established throughout the archipelago and annual ship patrols were conducted to resupply these posts as well as to demonstrate to the world that Canada was indeed administering to its Arctic. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nEric Jamieson is a retired career banker who took up writing outdoor and history articles for newspapers and magazines in his late 20s. He has authored three books: South Pole: 900 Miles on Foot (Horsdal and Schubart\, 1996)\, co-authored with Gareth Wood; Tragedy At Second Narrows: The Story of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge (Harbour Publishing\, 2008); and The Native Voice (Caitlin Press\, 2016). He was awarded the Lieutenant Governor’s Medal for History Writing in 2009. He currently resides in North Vancouver with his wife\, Joan.
