Terrace considers itself a home of sorts to the bear. it is sad to think the government may not keep its word on an near extinct animal found in, last i heard, only two places on earth. although i have never had the pleasure of seeing a Kermode bear [i had never heard it called a spirit bear until i moved to the lower mainland] i sure as heck remember when one got shot and killed in Terrace, BC, it was around 93-95 i could always search it, it was a doctor’s son who shot the bear it was INSANITY in The North, i doubt there is anyone who lived there when it happened who doesn’t remember it, it was a travesty, i distinctly remember crying, im annoyed i can’t place the year. the Kermode bear is very real and endangered. they are not a myth. there is little in Terrace that doesn’t if it can get away with it, play with the Kermode bear’s name. there is a huge one drawn on the wall at my old high school.

The Great Bear Rain Forest, and the sprit bear are only figments of someone’s overworked imagination. For over fifty years I have traveled the Central Coast. From Bella Coola, Bella Bella, Shearwater, Ocean Falls, Klemtu, Whalen Lake, Okeino Lake, Sandspit, Tasu, Queen Charlotte City, Prince Rupert, you name it this old timer was there. Employment, Recreational boating and flying this whole country, never once did I ever hear a native refer to the Central Coast as the Great Bear Rain Forest, or the Commode Bear called a sprit bear. Certainly there is nothing wrong with promoting the tourist interest in this great area, why I ask create artificial names, it just sounds like something dreamed up by Hollywood marketing executives. Pacific Mills Ltd. of Ocean Falls, was a very hungry Pulp and paper mill, established originally in 1910 under the name of Bella Coola Pulp and Paper. This company logged this greater area. The great forest that we today see in this Central Coast is for the most part second growth, anybody can find the stumps of this original coastal logging among today’s second growth giants. That is the real beauty of this coastal rain forest is that it never stops regenerating itself. It is my opinion that economic development is not just protecting a vast part of the world for the few, but recognizing that there has to be a balance in all things. Management has to be the key word, and good management can provide the economic opportunities for the people who strive to make a living in this very large part of BC’s West Coast. D.
