Podcasts about British Columbia

In 1999, Stan Winston Studios and Digital Domain joined forces to create one of cinema's most convincing monsters - the massive crocodile from "Lake Placid." Winston's team, fresh off "Jurassic Park," built a groundbreaking 30-foot animatronic that could actually function underwater using waterproofed hydraulics and urethane skin - a technical marvel that had previously destroyed lesser movie creatures. With snapping jaws, moving eyes, and a thrashing tail, this mechanical beast terrorized actors in the frigid lakes of British Columbia while creating genuine fear on set.Digital Domain seamlessly handled what the animatronic couldn't, crafting stunning CGI sequences of the crocodile diving and surfacing with explosive water effects. This hybrid approach - blending Winston's tactile craftsmanship with cutting-edge computer graphics - produced just under four minutes of unforgettable screen time. Weather delays, waterproofing challenges, and the genius of two legendary effects houses brought Lake Placid to life, but in a crowded summer of 1999, this croc would struggle to dominate the box office, instead becoming a cult classic creature feature.I would love to hear your thoughts on Lake Placid !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

In the latest episode of Sustainability Leaders, Jayen Veerapen, Senior Advisor at the BMO Climate Institute, discusses this question and more with Greg Twinney, CEO of General Fusion.

What is art? What is art anyway? It's a new term, really. I think we need to go a little bit beyond that. I think of myself as a sound practitioner, so what can I offer? If someone has a visual acuity, if someone has acuity with body and movement and voice, you know, what is it that we can do in our communities to help people to listen, to be in their bodies, to breathe?My conversation withcomposer, sound artist, media artist and facilitator Tina Pearson, whose work explores nuanced sonic investigations of perception, presence and place. suggests we slow down and listen, which I often hear artists suggest on this podcast but how does one do that? Well, soundwalking is one way to do, which what Tina and I did during our 90-minute conversation, recorded in September 2024 at PKOLS park, translates to ‘White Head' or ‘White Rock' in the SENĆOŦEN language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, also known as Mt. Douglas Park inVictoria, British Columbia. I edited down our long conversation to 15-minutes, which as you will hear is accompanied by rainfall and the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Action pointsPractice deep listening to places and communities to understand their needs Question whether current artistic practices perpetuate harmful systemsConsider how artistic work can offer service and benefit to a specific place Explore alternative ways of being a sound practitioner beyond traditional concerts and touringPause and reflect on the impact of our actions and practices on the environmentShow notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AI:Story PreviewImagine walking through a park, not just seeing, but truly listening.

It challenges the conventional approaches to art and climate action, advocating for a deeper, more reciprocal relationship with the environment. Pearson's personal background as a first-generation North American informs her perspective on decolonization and untethering from harmful systems. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODES Hey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Alone in the middle of a remote mountain pass, she took this as a sign. This was Liam telling her it was time to speak.And so she did.In this Part 1 of A Sister's Promise: Turning Pain into Purpose, Kaylee transparently shares: • The story of Liam—his heart, his light, and his legacy • The silent grief she carried as a student, sister, and survivor • How this pivotal moment launched her journey into public speaking • The heartbreak and grit that became the foundation of LowKure, the mental health movement she would go on to build in Liam's name. This is the story of becoming Kay.This is where LowKure began.And this is a story you'll never forget.⸻This is for Liam.This is for anyone silently struggling.This is Kaylee's movement built on love, loss, and the courage to speak anyway.Discover LowKure by Liam: https://lowkure.myshopify.com/?ref=aftershipMore Lavi: Lavinia Rusanda YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaviniaRusanda/videosLavinia Rusanda TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@laviniarusanda?lang=enLavinia Rusanda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laviniarusanda/?hl=enJoin Content Creator and engineering and business student Lavinia Rusanda as she uncovers the secrets of the beauty industry, breaks down the walls of beauty standards, and teaches you to learn self-love and become confident in your skin while bringing awareness to acne and real unfiltered skin.

The legal landscape in Canada continues to evolve with significant implications for sexual assault cases, courtroom procedures, and sentencing guidelines.A groundbreaking Supreme Court of Canada decision has overturned a British Columbia sexual assault conviction in a case where prosecutors introduced evidence about the complainant's sexual inexperience without proper screening. The Court established that "sexual inactivity evidence" – including statements about virginity or lack of sexual interest – must face the same strict admissibility standards as evidence about past sexual activity. This landmark ruling recognizes that just as past consent doesn't imply present consent, past abstinence doesn't imply present non-consent. The decision extends protections against "twin myth reasoning" to both sides of the courtroom, requiring voir dire hearings whenever either Crown or defence wishes to introduce evidence about sexual history or the lack thereof.Meanwhile, the BC Supreme Court has issued a fascinating new practice direction on witness oaths and affirmations. While the Bible remains available in courtrooms, witnesses wishing to swear upon other religious or cultural items must now bring their own. The directive specifically addresses concerns about ceremonial practices that might compromise courtroom "dignity, decorum and/or safety" – a provision likely influenced by historical oath ceremonies involving chicken beheadings, candle-burning rituals, saucer-smashing, and other culturally-specific practices. This raises profound questions about the continued relevance of religious declarations in modern court proceedings and whether simply affirming to tell the truth might better serve justice.The courts also clarified the binding nature of joint submissions in a manslaughter case involving a man whose push led to his girlfriend's accidental fatal fall from a cliff. The BC Court of Appeal emphasized that judges cannot "tinker" with sentencing agreements between prosecution and defence unless they would "bring the administration of justice into disrepute." This high threshold protects the plea bargaining system that keeps our courts functioning. These cases collectively demonstrate how Canadian courts continue to balance procedural fairness, cultural sensitivity, and practical administration of justice in an evolving society. Subscribe to hear more analysis of pivotal legal developments that shape our justice system and reflect our changing social values.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Dr. Terri Givens is a regular "Friend of the Show" on Trending in Ed and a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia and author of Radical Empathy. She joins host Mike Palmer to discuss the current challenges facing higher education and academic associations, the importance of collaboration, and how individuals can take action in a chaotic world. Key Takeaways: Higher education faces significant disruptions, including declining enrollment, reduced research funding, and a shift towards an adjunct-focused model. Academic associations are crucial for faculty development and networking but struggle with declining membership and funding. There's a growing demand for academic associations to take political stances, which is challenging for their 501(c)(3) status. Collaboration and strategic planning are essential for academic associations and universities to navigate current challenges. The current political landscape highlights systemic issues like racism and discrimination, underscoring the need for mutual aid and community involvement. Empathy and taking action are vital in addressing societal and educational challenges, as discussed in Dr. Givens' upcoming book, Reckoning. It's crucial for higher education to better articulate its value, especially that of a liberal education, beyond just job prospects. The politicization of higher education is a concern, but it also presents an opportunity for institutions to unite and promote their positive impact. A historical and global perspective helps us understand and navigate current challenges, recognizing that societies have overcome major hurdles before. Why You Should Listen: Gain insights into the significant challenges and disruptions impacting higher education and academic associations today. Learn about the critical role of academic associations and why their struggles have a "domino effect" on the broader academic landscape. Understand the call for greater collaboration and strategic foresight within higher education to address current and future crises. Hear Dr. Givens' perspective on how individuals can find agency and make an impact in a chaotic world, emphasizing local action and mutual aid. Explore the intersection of politics and education, and why staying politically involved is essential for everyone. Discover why higher education needs to re-articulate its value and address issues like declining male enrollment. Tune in to hear Dr. Terri Givens share her extensive experience and sharp analysis on the state of higher education, the role of academic associations, and the power of empathy and action in these turbulent times.

The ever-present and always hot button issue here in the US: Immigration. Be it legal, illegal, or historical; we just can't seem to stop arguing over it. For that reason, we're joined today by someone who grew up in a split migrant family, who can give us some honest perspective.   Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.   My guest today is Lupe Christensen. Lupe was without a father or mother for most of her first decade of life; because they were forced to flee their home country to try and provide the minimal quality of life for their children. And as with many immigration topics, so often it is boiled down to what is illegally happening at the southern boarder; but the truth is that American citizens are truly struggling with some of the same problems just trying to bring their legal spouses and children into the states. ( https://a.co/d/7uzcCHq take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Where Money Grows on Trees: An Immigrant's Journey of Courage, Resilience, and Love" )  Let's change our point of view!  Hopefully this has opened your eyes a bit, if you've never considered the contained lifestyle. I know so many of us today have friends that are immigrants from one country or another, and it can be very hard.    In ranking news... June is halfway over, and the global ranks are updated: 1. The United States, with Florida, California, and Wisconsin at the top.  2. England of the United Kingdom, just barely over Scotland.  3. Canada, with Ontario just barely ahead of British Columbia.  4. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria tied.  5. New Zealand, just ahead of the Netherlands and Denmark.  That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb!  #Podcast #Education #Immigrant #MigrantCamp #Mexico

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, father of two, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin AnnettIn case you missed Kevin's first episode or if you are new here, here is a recap of Kevin's testimony: Kevin, a former United Church minister turned fearless whistleblower, stands as a Canadian hero in the relentless pursuit of truth and justice. For decades, he's exposed the horrific genocide of Indigenous children in church-run Indian Residential Schools, uncovering a dark campaign of abuse, murder, and cultural annihilation with a staggering 50% death rate. At great personal cost - his career, family, and reputation - Kevin sparked a global movement, becoming a beacon for survivors and a thorn in the side of the powerful.In the 1990s, his discoveries in Port Alberni, British Columbia, shattered his world and ignited his mission. He convened the first independent Tribunal into residential school crimes in 1998, founded The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada in 2000, authored ‘Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust in 2001', and released the award-winning documentary ‘Unrepentant' in 2007. His work forced Canada's 2008 apology, though his name was erased from the narrative.Undaunted, Kevin co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) in 2010, uniting survivors across 26 countries. His efforts led to the 2011 excavation of children's bones in Brantford, Ontario, and the 2012 prosecution of Pope Benedict, contributing to the pontiff's historic resignation. Despite blacklisting, smear campaigns, and state persecution - including a fraudulent 2021 COVID order targeting him - Kevin persists. He's authored over a dozen books, founded the Republic of Kanata in 2015, and earned two Nobel Peace Prize nominations. Today, Kevin's unyielding voice inspires millions to confront genocide, child trafficking, and oppression, proving one person's courage can change the world.Today, Kevin returns to continue his riveting saga as a relentless whistleblower and advocate. We'll dive into fresh evidence of these heinous crimes, explore how to prosecute and halt them through independent jurisdictions, and discuss the transformative potential of common law courts, sovereign Republics, and personal sovereignty. Kevin will share more of his harrowing experiences, offer insights from his Whistleblower's Manual, and inspire with his unwavering resolve. CONNECT WITH KEVIN:Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724Websites:-Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books-'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comBUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: Support the show

Interview with Marco Roque, President & CEO of Cassiar Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cassiar-gold-tsxvgldc-defining-a-5-million-ounce-gold-district-scale-opportunity-in-bc-canada-5923Recording date: 12th June 2025Cassiar Gold (TSXV:GLDC) has emerged as one of North America's most compelling exploration stories, delivering substantial resource growth while maintaining a disciplined approach to development at their flagship project in northern British Columbia. The company recently expanded its mineral resource estimate to 1.93 million ounces inferred plus 410,000 ounces indicated, representing a significant increase from the previous 1.4 million ounces.What distinguishes Cassiar from typical exploration projects is its unique infrastructure advantage. The company owns fully permitted mill and mining facilities, along with mining permits for five past-producing mines within their expansive 590 square kilometer land package. President and CEO Marco Roque emphasized this positioning: "Most exploration projects don't have access, most exploration projects don't have infrastructure and most exploration projects do not have fully owned permitted mill and mining permits. We have all of the above."Management has set an ambitious target of reaching 5 million ounces before considering production or potential acquisition by major producers. This confidence stems from the early-stage nature of exploration, with drilling covering less than 0.3% of their total land package. Notably, 48% of current resources lie within 50 meters of surface, providing significant advantages for future mining economics.The project features dual mining optionality through both bulk tonnage disseminated gold averaging 1.4+ grams per ton and high-grade underground veins carrying 10-20 grams per ton, with intercepts reaching up to 270 grams per ton. Recent completion of 70 square kilometers of geophysical surveys has identified multiple anomalous areas for follow-up exploration.Operating in northern British Columbia's tier-one jurisdiction provides political stability and excellent infrastructure access. With approximately $5 million in cash and drilling operations set to commence, Cassiar is positioned to capitalize on the growing disconnect between producer valuations and junior exploration companies as the gold sector recovery unfolds.View Cassiar Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cassiar-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0mBY_JoZVo When a young, broke librarian buys an abandoned house on the outskirts of a British Columbian town, he starts to uncover the house's secrets as unexplained incidents occur. Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? The script follows a young programmer who moves into a haunted house in the Interior of British Columbia due to (widespread) financial difficulties. What genres does your screenplay fall under? It is a horror picture. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? The story derives it's chills n' thrills from mood more so than sudden frights, which an audience will resonate with. The origin of the evil spectre which haunts the house and surrounding area is also relevant to issues of concern today. How would you describe this script in two words? ‘Definite Appeal'. What movie have you seen the most times in your life? By my recollection, either ‘Jaws' or ‘The Maltese Falcon'.

Moonlit seaweeds. Dreamy underwater forests. Mounds of beach debris. Not plants. Let's talk about where seaweed grows and whether or not it will save us all. Macrophycology means “big-ass algae” so let's join five dazzling seaweed enthusiasts: guest-in-chief Dr. Patrick Martone of the University of British Columbia, UConn Professor Emeritus and “grandfather of seaweed farming” Dr. Charlie Yarish, seagrass scientist Becky Swerida, and marine science PhD students Danielle McHaskell and Angela Jones. We'll chat about what's hidden in its cells, the best ones to eat, how fast it grows, how deep it gets, cold vs. tropical seaweeds, what to do if your vacation pictures feature mounds of sargassum, and whether or not kelp can kill a chicken. In next week's episode, you'll hear all about the aquaculture of cultivating and eating things from the seaweed to shellfish to shrimp farmed in a basement doughboy.
