The beauty of the natural environment surrounding the town of Golden is subtly miraculous. Surrounded by national and provincial parks the town of Golden exists as a setting for rest and replenishment. The surrounding rugged landscapes, prized for their harsh beauties meets here at Golden with the calm serenity of the Columbia Valley. Along a network of elements threading the town’s existence, the industrious settlement of Golden has become a strategic setting for transportations of goods on rail and road across Canada. The industrious town of Golden today faces challenges between economic and environmental struggles. Golden’s struggle is not unlike many other towns in the mountain west, embracing tourism and growth effectively without damaging the attractive spirit of the town and industrial heritage. This practicum presents the Golden Thread as a balance between the present state of Golden and the future of this community with an exposed respect for environmental and cultural heritage. The ultimate purpose for the Golden Thread is to weave the town of Golden together by fostering a respect for all of what makes Golden extraordinary.

In most birds the dispersal process is usually initiated with a straight emigration from the natal site and the cessation of parental care. Yet for some species, particularly those with extended periods of parental care (such as many large raptors like golden eagles), individuals can carry out prospecting movements prior to dispersing. Prospecting behaviour probably involves individuals searching and evaluating sites, and may influence further decisions made at later stages of the dispersal process. I used long life GPS satellite transmitters fitted to nestling golden eagles to follow them as they dispersed. Young golden eagles emigrated from their natal home ranges from 44 days until 250 days after fledging. The rate at which individuals emigrated increased over time and individuals that developed motility more rapidly also emigrating earlier. Over 90% of individuals made at least one distinct movement away from the natal home range prior to emigrating, with early departing individuals making fewer prospecting trips prior to a definitive departure. Individuals that prospected undertook up to 11 prospecting loops that lasted up to 10 days and with longer duration trips being longer in overall length and maximum distance explored from the natal home range. The direction of prospecting forays was positively correlated with the direction of eventual departure, but the penultimate exploration was no more correlated than less recent explorations indicating a non-random exploration direction. These movements during transience were focussed on a series of temporary settlement areas (TSAs) that varied in number per individual and re-visitation rate. TSAs were used more often during the summer months and locations outside of TSAs occurred much more frequently in the core of known breeding home ranges.

The Cross is a long poem with a numerologically determined structure. In my introduction I examine some of the ideas behind the tradition of literary numerological composition, particularly those presented in the Timaeus of Plato and in Augustine's De musica. I then scrutinize number's aptness as a unifying principle in the poem, briefly elucidating the Golden Proportion and showing its centrality to the poem's structure, concluding with a look at my use of number metaphor. The Cross, partly and wholly the embodiment of these theories, follows. Its subject matter is the history of Montreal. Each book has a unifying focus: Book I centres on Jacques Cartier's explorations in 1535; Book II on the activities of the fictional character Mrs. Chau, in the recent past; and Book III on the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1860 for the inauguration of the Victoria Bridge.
