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).

A Wood Duck Story

After three years of me and my two brothers and sister being Institutionalized I aged out a 15 and went for a hike up Lynn Creek, and fell in love. As a young men and women we had all been encouraged to go out and explore. I was hiking around the South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park, above my home town of Minto in the Bridge River Valley when I was 20 months old. I learned to write and Graduated Grade One in the one room Minto Elementary School, at aged 6, in 1951. Gun Creek had jumped its rip-rap banks in late April, 1951 and flooded Minto out. I looked through Ma Murray's Bride River - Lillooet Newspaper archive but was unable to find the exact dates. Mom and four of us children were evacuated up to Taughton Lake
