The PFRA project of 1947-48 made massive physical changes to the Pemberton Valley though it may be hard to imagine the scale of this project at the time. This year is also the 70th anniversary of the Pemberton Valley Dyking District and it was formed as a result of the drainage and dyking of the valley.
Johnny is a Cultural Technician with the Lands and Resources Department and has spent his life walking and studying Lil'wat traditional territory. His traditional name means weather changer and he has spent his life promoting traditional knowledge and the stories about the land that sustains Lilwat Nation. The land and the people are one.
Johnny has contributed greatly to our understanding of Lilwat Traditional Territory and often travels to conferences and gatherings to share his knowledge. He works with archaeologists, ethnographers and high school and university students to share his knowledge and to broaden our understanding of Lilwat territory.
The Gold Rush of 1858 passed through the region and Port Pemberton was established as a stopping house along the Douglas Trail. Over 30,000 gold rushers passed through the region making their way to the goldfields of Lillooet and beyond. Beyond the Gold Rush of 1858 there were other major events happening in Canada and in the world.

This weeks Tale was presented by Eric Andersen a local historian from Squamish and featured his research on the Barbour family of Squamish & Pemberton. Charles and his brother Allan started the first large scale logging company in Squamish. Charles and his wife Dora lived in Pemberton from the early 1900s to the 1940s. Charles wrote a letter to the Daily Province in Vancouver lamenting the lack of connection between Pemberton and the Coast in 1901 and estimated a loss of over $1,000,000 in potential agricultural products that could be produced in the rich farm lands. His wife Dora started Pembertons first milk run in 1906. She made a sack to be fastened over a horses back, with compartments on each side to hold glass milk bottles so that milk could be delivered to One Mile or Pemberton Station. Dora was also a member of the Womens Auxiliary of the Church of England during her time in Pemberton. The Gimse family lived in the Barbour house in the 1940s. Bert and Kathleen Lundgren bought the farm in the 1940s and lived in the old house until a new one was built by Bert in the 1950s. Kia-ora Mobile Home Park is now located on a portion of the old Barbour farm lands.

Australia's energy policy for heavy industries such as steel production are based on storing renewable energy as green hydrogen. However, steel production is energy intensive and green hydrogen is proving to be difficult to commercialise, let alone produce, store, and transport. The renewable energy link to Indonesia and Singapore, based on the plan for the Australian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara, has been replaced by the idea that green hydrogen can be converted to green ammonia for transportation, and converted back to hydrogen on the other side. Again, the process is energy intensive. Add to the energy demands that will be created by data centres and artificial intelligence, the scaling up of energy production is unlikely to be met without nuclear. The green energy dream is unlikely to materialise and is proving unworkable.

Science Communication beyond Journal Publications WorkshopWAIHIGA K.MUTURI

Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact 鏝
In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia.
Science is not just about discoveryit's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africas narrative on poverty and development.
At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life ァ to press releases that spark media attention and digital tools that democratize knowledge we will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful.
This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges.
Let us humanize scienceinfuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumphand ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives.
To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Lets bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Lets co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.

JARINZO TANABATAS SIX CAPITAL FORCES: A FRAMEWORK FOR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGEJarinzo Tanabata
油
Strategic Excellence: In the ever-evolving landscape of business, technology, and governance, traditional views of capital as a static resource no longer suffice. To maintain a competitive edge, organizations must not only accumulate resources but must activate, integrate, and orchestrate them in ways that align with long-term goals. Jarinzo Tanabatas Six Capital Forces offers a rigorous and pragmatic framework for achieving this level of strategic agility. By viewing capital not as a static accumulation but as an interconnected system of forces, Tanabata introduces a model that drives growth, innovation, and sustained competitive advantage.
In the same tradition as thinkers like Peter Drucker, who emphasized the importance of aligning strategy with organizational capabilities, and Michael Porter, who outlined the critical dynamics of competitive advantage, Tanabata offers a vision of capital that is fluid, responsive, and ever-adapting. His Six Capital Forces Intellectual, Social, Financial, Human, Structural, and Natural must be continuously activated, integrated, and orchestrated to yield real value. This approach aligns with the strategic and operational needs of organizations looking to excel in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.
Traditionally, capital was seen primarily as a static resource to be accumulated: assets, cash reserves, intellectual property, and human resources. But Tanabata's framework challenges this perspective by viewing capital as a dynamic force, a series of interrelated modalities that must be activated and integrated to drive sustained value creation. The success of modern institutions, corporations, and political bodies does not lie simply in their capital reserves but in their capacity to activate and orchestrate these reserves to deliver tangible, long-term results.
