    Extractions: Community Overview Geographic Location Climate Trading Area History ... Community Overview History Clinton was founded in the 1860’s as a roadhouse on the Cariboo Trail serving those headed to the gold fields in the BC Interior. After the discovery of gold in the Cariboo, Royal Engineers were commissioned to build a road through the Fraser Canyon to the Cariboo to join the wagon road from Lillooet to 47 Mile. The junction was 47 miles from Lillooet and thus 47 Mile was the name used. In 1863, 47 Mile officially became Clinton, named by Queen Victoria in honor of Lord Henry Pelham Clinton, the Colonial Secretary of the day. Once “Gold Fever” had subsided, the ranching industry developed and fueled Clinton’s growth. The railroad initially served the ranching industry but in the 1930’s and 1940’s, it served the soda works operating on local lakes and limestone operations in the area. Forestry became the mainstay of the economy in the early 1950’s. At one time, over twenty bush-mills and saw mills operated in the area. Consolidation in the 1970’s led to only one operation surviving.

    http://www.netbistro.com/tourism/princegeorge/pghistory.shtml
    
    Extractions: Originally, this vast area was populated by the Carrier Sekani people who had lived here for thousands of years. The rivers formed natural trade routes which extended all the way to the coast and this fact became very interesting to the European explorers who recognized the potential for settlement in this region. Did you know how close we came to being named Mackenzie? In June of 1793, Alexander MacKenzie was canoeing southwards on his historic trip, and actually missed the join of the Nechako River entering the Fraser. It was not discovered until 14 years later in 1807 when Simon Fraser noticed this important river junction. He built a tiny outpost here (at the present CN station location) and named it Fort George after King George lll. After wintering here, he continued his famous journey down the river which now bears his name. Fort George remained a small trading post for nearly 100 years, until the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway 's route to the west coast passed through it. Things started looking good for the city and in 1915, Prince George was officially incorporated. It then seemed as though nothing could prevent its continued growth. Unfortunately, World War l brought the good times to an end and for 20 years the town remained dormant. However, Prince George was in a geographically pivotal position. The 1952 completion of the John Hart Highway opened access to the Yukon and the Pacific Great Eastern (now B.C. Rail) extended its line up from Quesnel, with plans to soon reach Dawson Creek and eventually Fort Nelson. Also around this time, the forest industry was undergoing changes. Portable "gypo" sawmills had begun to dot the surrounding forests producing rough cut white spruce for lumber. This process left much waste. The advent of the pulp mills in the 1960's changed the economy and the city forever. Lumber mills turned their leftovers into pulp which was utilized as paper and cardboard. Prince George Pulp and Paper, Northwood Pulp and Timber and Intercontinental Pulp triggered a population boom of 14,000 people to 50,000 in a very short decade.

    http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/aboutthecourt/history.html
    
    Extractions: The Provincial Court of British Columbia has existed in one form or another since the early fur trading days that attracted the province's first European settlers. In the early 1800s, English law and its hierarchical judicial system was imported into the province's two founding colonies. In 1867, the British North America Act created the new nation of Canada. The Act gave power to the provinces to create their own courts. At this time, the precursor to the Provincial Court existed in the form of magistrate courts, with a very limited jurisdiction. Magistrates were often part-time and rarely had any formal training in the law. They were not well paid and were treated as employees of the government. In 1910, the government established the Juvenile Court. As the province grew in size and stature, the increasing complexity of changing laws in British Columbia placed more demands on Magistrates. The need became apparent for the establishment of a professional magistrate's association, with a prescribed set of educational and professional requirements. In 1943, a survey of the provincial magistrate system ultimately led to the first Magistrates Conference in 1947. In 1955, changes to the Criminal Code made criminal matters more demanding for judicial officers who were not legally trained. Changing provincial legislation also required Magistrates to travel from one jurisdiction to another, presiding over multiple court districts. Family and civil legislation had also grown more complex. In all aspects of its jurisdiction, the Court was evolving and growing, requiring increased levels of legal training, judicial education and professional qualifications.

    Extractions: Table of Contents Introduction Background Why were they created? What do they do? ... Conclusions Introduction This paper provides background on the development of regional districts in British Columbia. Regional districts are an unique feature of the British Columbia local government system which date back to the early 1960's. Background Why were they created? In order to understand why regional districts were created, it is necessary to understand the several factors concerning the nature of the province in 1965. In 1965, the province was undergoing rapid expansion, in particular because of resource development. Rural areas were growing but did not have a general purpose local government. Where land use planning and regulation existed, it was done directly by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and provincial staff using the authority of the Local Services Act . Local services like fire protection, street lighting and water supply were provided by independently incorporated improvement districts or by municipalities under contract to the ministry with cost recovery managed through local service areas established using the authority of the
