High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Haddington Island is a small volcanic island in the Canadian province of British Columbia, located south of Malcolm Island and Broughton Strait. It is located in the Mount Waddington Regional District. The closest major community to Haddington Island is Port Hardy. Haddington Island is a member in the chain of volcanic peaks that run from Brooks Peninsula northeastward across Vancouver Island to Port McNeill called the Alert Bay Volcanic Belt. The existence of felsite and andesite at Haddington Island suggests it might have formed 3.7 million years ago as the Juan de Fuca and Explorer Plate to its west have been subducting under the North American Plate at the Cascadia subduction zone. As the ocean crust of the Juan de Fuca and the Explorer Plate melts, it creates magma that penetrates the crust, causing periodic eruptions of the volcanoes. The western end of the Alert Bay Volcanic Belt is now approximately 80 km northeast of the Nootka Fault, which separates the Explorer and Juan de Fuca plates. However, at the time of its formation Haddington Island may have been coincident with the subducted plate boundary. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "British Columbia Social Credit Party," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have British Columbia Social Credit Party in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with British Columbia Social Credit Party when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name British Columbia Social Credit Party, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

From the author: Cet article s'appuie sur la premisse theorique que le lieu est un agent materiel, social et culturel qui ne possede pas de frontieres, a l'interieur duquel et par lequel des pratiques coloniales ont ete instituees en Colombie-Britannique. De facon specifique, les lieux servant de pensionnats <> en Colombie-Britannique, ainsi que les personnes les ayant occupes, peuvent etre conceptualises comme des sites intimes, niches au sein des agendas coloniaux et nationalistes canadiens rattaches aux politiques d'assimilation, d'acculturation et d'annihilation des populations autochtones. Cette conceptualisation permet a la fois de comprendre comment le colonialisme s'est exerce contre les personnes appartenant aux Premieres nations, et comment ces dernieres ont activement evite et resiste a ce projet colonial. Cet article s'appuie sur des temoignages publies des Premieres nations afin d'acceder aux experiences des lieux servant de pensionnats. L'article s'appuie egalement sur du materiel que des etudiants des pensionnats ont produit afin de visualiser comment s'exprimaient les etudiants des Premieres nations face aux methodes educatives assimilatrices. Pour terminer, l'article propose une reflexion sur comment le lieu niche, la resistance des Premieres nations et les concepts euro-coloniaux sur le genre se diffusent aujourd'hui a propos d'une femme Dakelh (ancienne etudiante d'un pensionnat), actuellement candidate a la beatification dans le nord de la Colombie-Britannique.

It was not named for an organization of Massachusetts lawyers but dates from the time of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush(1858-1861).

The name originally referred to the other side of the river from today's town, but came into use for the present site after the original was re-named North Bend by the Canadian Pacific Railway. ...
