SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: No Walk in the Woods: The History of the West Coast Trail
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of forbidding bluffs and nearly impassible brush\, punctuated by the ominous sound of crashing waves\, hardly seems like the route to salvation for anyone escaping a sinking ship. For those unlucky enough to find themselves in just that situation along the unforgiving southwestern edge of Vancouver Island\, the rough trail over slick rocks and fallen trees may have been their only chance. \n\n\n\nThe 75 kilometer stretch of coastline from Bamfield to Port Renfrew has evolved from a narrow telegraph track carved into the woods to one of the most popular hiking destinations in less than a century. \n\n\n\nCome along with us as we follow the rain-soaked path from the tragic wreck of the S.S. Valencia\, that led to the creation of the lifesaving trail\, to the stories of adventurers who brave the modern-day West Coast Trail. Meet some of the characters who devoted themselves to helping others\, sometimes at great personal cost\, and learn what was done to try to prevent a small portion of the Graveyard of the Pacific from claiming even more lives.

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.
