A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER LONG WEEKEND
ALWAYS MEANS PEOPLE ARE OUTSIDE
ENJOYING NATURE.
BUT THIS SUMMER IS OF COURSE
UNIQUE WITH THE THREAT OF THE
PANDEMIC LOOMING, TRAVEL TO
FAR-FLUNG PLACES IS VIRTUALLY
IMPOSSIBLE.
BUT AS STEPHANIE MERCIER REPORTS
WITH SO MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO
STAY CLOSE TO HOME, LOCAL PARKS
ARE FILLING UP.
>> A SUNNY LONG WEEKEND MEANS
PEOPLE FLOCKING TO TREES AND
NATURE, TROUBLE IS, THEY'RE
ESCAPING TO THE SAME PLACES AS
EVERYONE ELSE.
THIS ALBERTA TRAIL WAS OVERRUN.
>> DIFFERENT DIDN'T THINK IT
WOULD BE THIS CRAZY BUT
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
>> IT'S CRAZY BUSY, IT'S AMAZING
HOW MANY PEOPLE COME AND DO
THIS.
>> AS SOON AS WE WENT DOWN TO DO
THE HIKE IT WAS MADNESS DOWN
THERE, WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE AND
WE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE SO WE
WALKED BACK UP.
I DON'T KNOW, SINCE THERE'S A
PANDEMIC GOING ON IT FEELS WEIRD
TO HIKE AROUND A HUNDRED OTHER
PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: ELSEWHERE IT WAS
BEACHES THAT WERE JAMMED, IN AN
EFFORT TO CONTROL THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE AT ANY GIVEN PLACE LOTS
OF REGIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSING
PARK LOTS AND TURNING PEOPLE
AWAY LIKE IN PRINCE EDWARD
COUNTY IN ONTARIO AND THE LOWELL
OF B.C.
>> PARK LOT WAS FULL SO WE HAD
TO TURN AROUND AND FIND ANOTHER
SPOT AND NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR
THE BUS.
>> WE'VE BEEN REROUTED AND NOW
KIND OF TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT WE
CAN DO IN THE MEANTIME SO WE CAN
GET OURSELVES TO THE HIKE.
>> Reporter: B.C. HAS STARTED
ISSUING DAY USE PASSES FOR SOME
POPULAR AREAS.
BUT SOME SUBURBAN MAYORS SAY
THAT'S JUST PUSHING PEOPLE TO
CROWD INTO SMALLER LOCAL PARKS.
>> SO WE HAVE TO AS COMMUNITIES
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
COORDINATE AND AS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND THE PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE REGIONAL
GOVERNMENT WE OUGHT TO BE
COORDINATING TO MAKE SURE ALL OF
OUR FACILITIES ARE OPEN AND THAT
WE CAN SPREAD OUT THIS LARGE
NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO
FIND THE PARK AND SPREAD THEM
OUT MORE.
>> Reporter: TO THEIR POINT,
JUST A FEW KILOMETRES AWAY...
>> QUITE EMPTY.
>> YES, THERE'S USUALLY A LOT
MORE PEOPLE HERE, I WOULD SAY,
AND IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY
PLEASANT.
>> I SEE THE SOCIAL DISTANCE AND
EVERYTHING IS VERY GOOD.

STILL ENOUGH OUTDOOR SPACE TO GO
AROUND SAFELY.
STEPHANIE MERCIER, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> AFTER NEARLY 25 YEARS IN
BUSINESS THE PANDEMIC IS FORCING
A WELL-KNOWN GIFT SHOP TO CLOSE.
LLALA'S ON COMMERCIAL DRIVE HAS
CLOSED AND ITS STORE IN DEEP
COVE WILL CLOSE IN THE COMING
WEEKS BECAUSE COVID-19 HAS MADE
IT DIFFERENT TO MAINTAIN THE
STORE'S CURATOR WITH ARTISTS AND
PRODUCERS NEAT TOURING THEIR
UNIQUE ITEMS.
>> I FEEL THE GOVERNMENT HAS
DONE WELL FOR INDIVIDUALS.
THEY HAVE DONE WELL TO
INVENTIVEIZE MULTI-ING, BANKING
INDUSTRY, OIL AND GAS AND
THEY'VE INCENTIVIZED
POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS NOT TO
WORK THIS SUMMER BUT THEY
HAVEN'T INCENTIVIZED SMALL
BUSINESSES TO STAY IN BUSINESS.
WE MAKE UP 40% OF G.D.P. AND IF
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SLING BACK
IN THE ECONOMY, WHICH IS WHAT
WIRE ALL LOOKING FOR NOT JUST
GOVERNMENT, BUT EACH OF US WANTS
THAT, IT'S BEST TO KEEP US IN
BUSINESS.
>> LALA'S WOULD HAVE CELEBRATED
ITS 25th ANNIVERSARY ON
SEPTEMBER 15.
>>> A SMALL PLANE CRASH IN

OTHER NOTABLE INDUCTEES INCLUDE
FORMER B.C. FINANCE MINISTER
CAROL TAYLOR AND B.C. GREEN

>>> YOU CAN'T TELL THE STORY OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA WITHOUT ITS
FOUNDER, JAMES DOUGLAS.
BUT HOW YOU TELL HIS STORY
MATTERS A GREAT DEAL.
JUSTIN MCILROY REPORTS ON A
PROPOSED NEW PLAQUE THAT WOULD
NOTE ALL ASPECTS OF DOUGLAS'
COMPLICATED LEGACY.
>> AROUND THIS PROVINCE AND
PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE YOU GO
YOU'LL FIND JAMES DOUGLAS, IN
PARKS AND STREET SIGNS, SCHOOLS,
AND SCHOOLS, AND MORE SCHOOLS.
>> I THINK ALMOST EVERYONE
HISTORIAN IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
BELIEVES IF THERE HAD NO JAMES
DOUGLAS THERE WOULD BE NO
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> ZAEEF SHE WROTE WEST BEYOND
THE WEST AND CURRENTLY WRITING A
BOOK ON DOUGLAS' CORRESPONDENCE
WITH THE COLONIAL YAN OFFERS
WHEN HE WAS APPOINTED THE FIRST
GOVERNOR OF THE MAINLAND COLONY
OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> THERE WAS 25 YEARS WHEN THE
FIRST NON-INDIGENOUS PEOPLE,
APART FROM SOME IN THE FUR
TRADE, CAME INTO THIS TERRITORY
AND BRITISH COLUMBIA AS A
PROVINCE.
IT WAS ESSENTIALLY COLONIAL
OFFICE IN CHARGE.
THEY PUT THEIR FAITH IN DOUGLAS.
>> Reporter: WE TELL STORY OF
DOUGLAS THE SAME WAY WE TELL THE
STORY OF, WASHINGTON AND PLAQUE
DONE.
THE WAIT WE TELL DOUGLAS' STORY
IS BEGINNING TO CHANGE.
>> I SEE HIM AS KIND OF A
BEACHHEAD, WHERE HIS SHIP CAME
TO THE SHORE AND ESTABLISHED
KIND OF A BASEMENT OF A COLONIAL
MARKER WHICH HAD A DEBT MESSAGE
IMPACT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
>> BRANDON GABRIEL IS A FORMER
HISTORICAL RESEARCHERS OF THE
KWANTLEN FIRST NATION, WHOSE
MEMBERS LIVED IN THE AREA FOR
CENTURIES BEFORE FORT LANGLEYLY
AND JAMES DOUGLAS' ARRIVAL.
>> THEIR PRESENCE AS A
COLONIZING FORCE WASN'T MET WITH
ON AGREEABLE TERMS, TO SO TO PUT
IT NICELY...
>> Reporter: THE RECORD IS
CLEAR, DOUGLAS DID HAVE A HUGE
PART IN DIMINISHING AND
DISPLACING B.C.'S INDIGENOUS
POPULATION.
BUT THE RECENT CAMPAIGNS TO
DIMINISH HIS LEGACY HAVEN'T BEEN
AS LARGE AS OTHER COLONIZING
FIGURES.
>> OH, BY THE WAY, JAMES DOUGLAS
WAS MIXED RACE AND BLACK.
I'M LIKE I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW
THAT.
>> Reporter: LANGLEY
COUNCILLOR NATHAN BAHAL WANTS TO
REMEMBER HIM WITH A NEW DISPLAY
IN CAN YOU GO LASS PARK.
AT THIS TIME WHEN COLONIZES ARE
BEING TAKEN DOWN, HE THINKS THE
PLAQUE FOR DOUGLAS CAN GO UP.
>> A PLAQUE ACKNOWLEDGING
HISTORY IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN
A STATUE, AS WELL, I WANT PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX
HISTORY OF THIS PROVINCE AND TO
CELEBRATE THE POSITIVE ATTITUDES
AND ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
HORRIFIC THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS
WELL.
I THINK WE CAN DO.
>> Reporter: WHETHER THAT'S
TRUE ENOUGH WILL BE SEEN IN THE
NEXT YEAR.
THE CITY WILL CONSULT WITH BOTH
BLACK LIVES MATTER GROUPS AND
THE KWANTLEN FIRST NATION ON THE
PLAQUE AND THE FRAMEWORK OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA HAS OFTEN BEEN
FRAUGHT WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
>> THE MAKING OF THIS COUNTRY
AND THIS PROVINCE IS -- LARGELY
HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY THE
COLONIZING FORCES.
>> Reporter: IT'S A TENSION AT
THE HEART OF THE STORY OF
DOUGLAS, HALF BLACK, HUSBAND OF
A CREE WOMAN, THE DOMINANT
TREATY MAKER AND COLONIZER IN
B.C. HISTORY.
>> HE DID CENTRE INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ALMOST ALL THE
WAY THROUGH HIS LIFE BUT YOU
HAVE TO -- IT'S HOW YOU TELL THE
STORIES.
>> Reporter: THE STORY OF
DOUGLAS' IS ONE WE'LL CONTINUE
TO RETELL.

MUCH ABOUT US AS IT DOES HIM.
JUSTIN MACLITTLE ROY, CTV NEWS,
FORT LANGLEY.
>> ONE OF THE SPOTS FILLING UP
IN B.C. FOR KNOWS LOOKING WAY
FOY THIS LONG WEEKEND HAS BEEN
DEEP COVE.
DEBORAH GOBLE REPORTS THAT
PEOPLE REMIND DOING THEIR BEST
BEHAVIOUR.

INSIDE, THROW IN A PERFECT
SUMMER DAY, AND A LONG WEEKEND,
AND IT SEEMED ANYONE WHO COULD
HEADED OUT ON TO THE WATER
TODAY.
>> YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE BIG
BOATS ARE NOT CAREFUL, THEY --
THE BOATS COME CLOSE TO THE
KAYAKERS AND IT MAKES PROBLEM
WITH THE KAYAKERS.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
>> Reporter: THERE'S NOT A
RENTAL TO BE HAD AT DEEP COVE
KAYAKS THIS MORNING, AND THERE'S
JUST ONE IMPORTANT RULE WHEN IT
COMES TO SPEED BOATERS...
>> NO SWAMPING.
>> Reporter: THE KAYAKERS, THE
SPEED BOATERS, THE CANOEISTS,
THE PADDLE BOARDERS THEY'VE ALL
BEEN OUT SINCE EARLY THIS
MORNING.
>> ON GENERAL THEY ARE GOOD,
YEAH, 90% -- 95% ARE GOOD.
>> Reporter: IT TAKES AWAY
FROM IT A LITTLE BIT SOMETIMES,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE COVE IS JAM
PACKED WITH BOATS.
>> STILL, THE R.C.M.P. MARINE
UNIT SAYS FOR THE MOST PART
BOATERS HAVE BEEN ACTING
RESPONSIBLY THIS SUMMER.
>> THE LITTLE HUMAN POWERED ONES
HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, PADDLE
BOARDS, KAYAKS, SWIMMERS,
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE
ABILITY TO MANOEUVRE THAT A
POWERBOAT DOES.
>> Reporter: THERE HAVEN'T
BEEN ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS IN THE
COVE, THE ODD PADDLE BOARDER OR
CANOEIST MAYBE TIPPED INTO THE
WATER, BUT IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU
GET OUT INTO OPEN WATER THAT
SPEED BECOMES MORE OF A PROBLEM.
>> MOST PEOPLE ARE -- OPERATE
THEIR VESSELS SAFELY, SOME MORE
SO THAN OTHERS, NOT A LOT OF
COMPLAINTS.
>> Reporter: WITH R.C.M.P.
MARINE UNITS FROM NORTH VAN AND
COQUITLAM ALONG WITH THE ROYAL
CANADIAN MARINE SEARCH AND
RESCUE, AND, OF COURSE, THE
COASTGUARD ALL OUT THERE,
PLAYING BY THE RULES IS ALWAYS A
GOOD IDEA.
>> EVEN IF THEY KIND OF GO OUT
THERE AND SOMETIMES THEY FLASH
THEIR LIGHTS OR EVEN JUST PEOPLE
SEEING THE BOAT ON THE WATER
HELPS TO REDUCE THE SPEEDING.
>> CO-EXISTING ON THE WATER IS
WHAT BOATING IS ALL ABOUT.
THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE
ODD TOO LOUD PARTY BOATS OR
MAYBE A WAKE SPEWING SPEED BOAT
GETTING JUST THAT LITTLE BIT TOO
CLOSE.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, IT'S BEEN
A PRETTY GOOD SUMMER SO FAR.

BUT WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN OUR
HANDY ONION BOX, AND SOME WERE
SOLD IN BULK SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE YOUR ONIONS HAVE COME FROM
SO OFFICIALS SAY, WHEN IT DOUBT,
THROW THEM OUT.
>> BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T
ASSOCIATE ONIONS WITH
SALMONELLA, SO ON THE CUTTING
BOARD THEY'LL PEEL THE ONION AND
CUT IT UP AND THEN THEY'LL PUT
SOMETHING ON THE CUTTING BOARD.

IN B.C., AND NUNES FAIRS REPORT
CERTIFY JUSTIN MCILROY KNOWS
THAT FOR CERTAIN BECAUSE HE'S
COLLECTED OR MADE PENS FOR ALL
OF THEM, THAT'S RIGHT, ALL OF
THEM TO CELEBRATE THIS B.C. DAY,
HERE'S HOW HIS COLLECTION CAME
TO BE.
>> I'M JUSTICE IN-MCILROY, CBC
NEWS VANCOUVER'S TUNES FAIRS
REPORTER.
OVER THE LAST YEAR I'VE
COLLECTED PINS FOR EVERY SINGLE
REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
FUNNY, I DID NOT CARE ABOUT
MUNICIPAL PINS OR PINS AT ALL.
A WOMAN WHO LIVES ON VANCOUVER
ISLAND, WITHOUT PROMPTING, SENT
ME LIKE 30 PINS FROM DIFFERENT
MUNICIPALITIES THAT SHE HAD
GATHERED OVER THE YEARS.
I WAS NUMBER ONE AMAZED AT HOW
DIFFERENT ALL THESE PINS WERE,
HOW THEY CAPTURED SORT OF THE
GEOGRAPHY OR THE ECONOMY OR
HISTORY OF A PLACE, HOW SOME OF
THEM WERE REALLY FUNNILY
DESIGNED AND THEN AT A CERTAIN
POINT I WAS LIKE...
YOU KNOW, NOBODY'S COLLECTED
PINS FOR EVERY MUNICIPALITIES.
I WONDER IF I COULD DO IT.
AND THEN WAY TOO MUCH MONEY WENT
DOWN THE DRAIN.
IN HIM TWO SITUATIONS I SEARCHED
FAR AND WIDE, I TALKED TO A LOT
OF PEOPLE, THERE WERE NO PINS.
SO I DID THE ONLY LOGICAL THING,
WAS TO ASK A FRIEND TO DESIGN
PINS FOR THEM.
BUT PINS WERE TOO EXPENSIVE SO
INSTEAD THEY'RE BUTTONS.
NO ONEIN THE WORLD HAS THIS
COLLECTION.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF
THESE PINS BUT HAVING ONE FROM
EVERY SINGLE REGIONAL
MUNICIPALITY, I DON'T THINK SO.
LIKE YOU LOOK AT THE EVOLUTION
OF THE PINS AND HOW DIFFERENT
ALL OF THEM ARE AND YOU CAN SEE
SOME OF THEM WERE MADE IN THE
SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES AND ARE
MORE COLOURFUL OR QUIRKY AND
SOME ARE VERY CORPORATE,
ESSENTIALLY A BUSINESS CARD ON A
PIN.
THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE
DINOSAURS.
IT'S A NEAT WINDOW INTO THE
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THIS PROVINCE
AND THE THINGS PEOPLE CARE
ABOUT.
I'M GLAD I DID IT, JUST FINDING
ALL THESE PINS AND HAVING THE
JOY AND SURPRISE OF OPENING IT
UP AND SEEING WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE WAS THE THING THAT WAS
NEATEST ABOUT IT.
I COULD PUT THEM BEHIND A GLASS
CASE OR WHOEVER AND PUT IT ON MY
WALL OR SOMETHING.
BUT THAT SEEMS LESS FUN THAN
BRINGING OUT THE JACKET, YOU
KNOW, 10 OR 15 TIMES A YEAR, AND
HAVING SILLY CONVERSATIONS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
