Early (1922) map of watersheds: former Elk Lake (blue), Victoria's first water supply; Goldstream (green), owned by the Esquimalt Water Works Company, and expropriated by the City of Victoria in 1925; Sooke (red), first obtained by the City of Victoria in 1915; and Leech (yellow), first thought of for diversion in the 1910s, and later tapped into by the Water District in the 1980s via a diversion tunnel.

The following long list of newspaper articles cover topics mostly related to resource issues in the Greater Victoria watersheds, eg., the logging issue.  This issue first arose in the mid-1930's and then once again in the late 1940's when logging began, issues which continued until the 1994 court decision.  Other interrelated issues cover the water supply itself, in terms of water quality, the availability of water to a growing population, the distribution and costs, downstream water flows from the dam, the off-catchment lands (post 1994), wildlife, public access, policy and politics, and the recommendations for the extinguishment of the Greater Victoria Water District (the Perry Commission).

There are no quotations from the articles themselves at this stage, and hopefully in the near future, as the Greater Victoria watersheds home page develops, excerpts will become available for interested readers.  The reason that these articles are referenced here is for readers and researchers to begin to understand that the issue of water and resource use has had an important, critical, and often lively track record, as is certainly the case in the Greater Vancouver watersheds (see articles listed).

Almost all of the following newspaper references were transcribed from private collections.  The collectors' efforts and keen interest are much appreciated.  The present list will continue to expand, as more collections are examined.
