I experienced my first magnitude 7.0-7.5 earthquake when I was almost 23 months old. It almost knocked me to the ground. That 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on June 23 at 10:15 a.m.[1] with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms[2] and 7.5 Mw.[6] The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred. There were, however, a whole series of landslides in the Forbidden Plateau area there were a whole series of landslides blocked streams and rivers to create lakes. The first hikers into the area gave them great names, Landslide Lake, Rock Fall Lake, Earthquake Lake etc.; over time these natural dams were eroded to nothing, leaving nothing but fading memories of those lakes. This earthquake is Canada's largest historic onshore earthquake.[1] Three years later, an earthquake, an M8.1, struck at 8:01 p.m. PDT on August 2, 1949 in Haida Gwaii [formerly Queen Charlotte Islands], an interplate earthquake that occurred on the ocean bottom just off the west coast of the main south island [Graham Island]. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe).

I write about it all over the place. On my personal blog KULSHAN - Lead Author: Stan G. Webb - In Retirement © ®™ [https://stangwebb.blogspot.com/] and, everywhere.

I have personally been through five memorable earthquakes in my past almost 80 years. The first, a M7.3 in 1946 killed two people in Courtney, BC when I was 22 months old almost knocked me to the ground.. That shook me to the bottom of my soul. My second was a M8.1 in Haida Gwaii in 1949. In Haida Gwaii everyone ~ people, cats and rats and cows were knocked to the ground, right now. There was no 'duck, cover and hold.'

A profile of earthquake risk for the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia; Journeay, J M; Dercole, F; Mason, D; Westin, M; Prieto, J A; Wagner, C L; Hastings, N L; Chang, S E; Lotze, A; Ventura, C E.

Download the publication (pdf 130711 KB)

Summary: 839 buildings in The District of North Vancouver will partially or completely collapse. There is a 30% probability that a magnitude M7.3 earthquake in the Salish Sea, say midway between The District of North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria in the next 50 years will cause the partial or complete collapse of 839 buildings. That does not count the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, The City of North Vancouver, the Squamish First Nation, t 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery If you download and print out the .pdf with all of its pretty colourful maps it will cost you about $96.00 in ink toner. But without 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery about $96.00 in toner ink just the same.


For: With great honour and respect; I first met Geswanouth Slahoot / Chief Dan George at the Williams Lake Stampede. I was 12. I thought, “This is how a man can be and should be”. YouTube - 17 minute video of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation – People of the Inlet

  1. 1. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation ("TWN") are Coast Salish peoples who speak hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, the Downriver dialect of the Halkomelem language, and are closely related to but politically and culturally separate from the nearby nations of the Squamish and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). A little while ago the Xwmelcsten and Ooyápelálexw Sto:lo villages occupied both sides of the Capilano River, the Xwmelcsten village was to the west, on what the District of West Vancouver now calls Ambleside Park

  2. I lived in Port Hardy for 12 years, on the land of Kwak'wala speaking people. Jody Wilson-Raybould is my Chief.

I hope you enjoy my recent photograph of 3,288 m (10,786 ft) Mt. Baker Stratovolcano (Kulshan). The United States Geological Service rates it a VERY HIGH RISK [https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-baker/volcanic-hazards-mount-baker].


Around 5:30-7:15am. If it is a clear day I can see forever. I took this photograph just after the sun had come up over the mountains in the east, around the Coquihalla / Chilliwack / Hope area as the sun's rays struck the bottoms of the clouds overhead, but before the sun cleared Mount Seymour and the local mountains. I never photo-shop anything, ever. Just get up in the morning.

Beautiful Fall Is All Around.  Unfortunately lots of construction and traffic noise on the Loud City Deciduous Tree Scenes; a nice juxtaposition, don't you think, to the quite, serene scenes with the Evergreen Trees in Lynn Valley Park.

I hope everyone enjoyed Turkey last weekend [Thanksgiving Day] and is looking forward to Halloween. The children of Lynn Valley Elementary, and their pre-school are having a "Pumpkin Patch" on October 13, 2018.

For Christmas this year, I'll again be one of Santa Hank's little silent helper elves.

The North Shore Homelessness Task Force published a report this fall finding 736 unique individuals registered for services reserved for the homeless on the North Shore over the course of 2016. They are still living rough. 
The study also found another 295 individuals who were at imminent risk of homelessness

Those folks love getting those $5 value Gift Cards for Tim Hortons [  available at 27th and Mountain Highway, Lynn Valley ]. So, I give Santa Hank a bunch of those; 20 x $5 = $100, more than once a year. It may mean little to us, but it means a lot to everyone receiving one. Santa Hank delivers these and many, many other things throughout the community, all year long.
