Lynne Jordan/ Cortes Currents - At the beginning of the 1900s, Squirrel Cove on the east side of Cortes Island was a hub of activity for homesteaders, loggers, fishermen, miners and trappers. They came from all the surrounding islands for supplies, groceries, mail, repairs, radios and dances in the hall. There were two stores, a post office, church, hall, two machine shops, a boatworks, a marine ways, and a big dock where the Union Steamships stopped regularly. Jim Spilsbury also stopped frequently to install or repair his radios in boats and homes. The first school classes were overseen by parents and held in a little one-room tar-paper shack right behind the store that still exists today. The first registered Squirrel Cove School was located at the top of the hill going west towards Gorge Harbour. It was a one-room school built in 1916 by locals and was used until 1941. Back in those days, a school needed 9 students for the government to supply a teacher. Residents of Whaletown and Squirrel Cove disagreed over which school was closest to Barret's Lake (now called Blue Jay Lake) in Green Valley where a number of children lived. Bill Barrett settled the debate by tying a rag to a wheel on his wagon and counting the revolutions on a trip from Green Valley to each school. Squirrel Cove won, so the Green Valley children walked there. The nearby Seaford community had a school that opened in 1921 for only ten years. When it closed in 1931, children from there joined the Squirrel Cove School. The school had just one small room with a tiny cloakroom at one end. There were no washrooms, just outhouses up on the hillside. No First Nation children attended school here. In centuries past the Salish Klahoose used Squirrel Cove traditionally for harvesting and fishing. Near the end of the 1800s, they moved permanently to Squirrel Cove. After 1915 Klahoose children were taken to Residential School in Sechelt by Union Steamships, returning home for Christmas, Easter and summer holidays. Fred Reedel remembers in the 1940s, “Even though we didn't go to school together, we all played together.”

Our 14th waterfowl featured guest, on our 30th episode, Donna McMahon explains to me that Gibson's and Sechelt are the main communities in her regional district. We chat about unrealistic expectations, those who move into rural areas for retirement and about the importance of asking questions with regards to available services. Water restriction, hospitals and the closest bus route being 1.5 km away to acess the handy dart. Many folks have driveways that these specialized buses cant turn around in, thus negating service delivery. I learned about highway 101, Pender harbour and the user groups of the BC transit bus or Langdale ferry system. We discussed hairy passes, steep stairs and areas with no shoulder, inaccessible bus stop due to deep ditches. Fire service and water supply come into play as part of a rural checklist because what might look suburban upon first glance can often be ripe with suprises of septic fields, private wells that dry out seasonally, no garbage pickup and deceiving mailing addresses. Small municipalities with dense populations on small footprints can often struggle with issues of adequately trained staff. We discuss our privileges, why training single mothers to be techicians for waste water treatment plants could lead to longer retention. Or how effective restorative justice projects are in small towns where things can get incredibly loud and too close to home. Also how 220 graduates could be insufficient to make post secondary education sustainable. Its an uphill battle to think about how to be invisible, avoid difficult, dangerous or frightening situations. How to best leaverage knowledge and negotiate safely. A delicate balance between citizen complaints, being tapped into non profit agencies and how diversity on the government level helps us not all make the same assumptions. Something she said that really stuck with me was that legislative requirements keep increasing and local governments are responsible without being in control.

I hike and rest through the most beautiful parts around Sechelt and Gibsons.

This week on Coast Reporter Radio: We meet an Elphinstone grad who’s working on her PhD and blogging about viruses, microbes and the science behind her research.
