Interview with Rhoda Beck
No full textAudio recording and transcript of Rhoda Beck's 1979 interview with Myrtle Bergren for the Coal Tyee History Project. Beck shares many stories and anecdotes from her family's history on Vancouver Island, which dates back to her great grandparents, John and Lavinia Malpass, arriving in Nanaimo on the Princess Royal in 1854. She recalls her mother's impressions of the 1887 explosion at the #1 Esplanade Mine; the story of the cave-in at the Southfield Mine, which her father just missed by not being on shift that day; and the introduction of the first telephone in British Columbia at the Wellington Colliery by her great-uncle William Wall. Beck remembers living in a tent at Departure Bay for the summers, and she also reflects on her grandparents' relationship with the Dunsmuir family who also lived nearby. She explains how her grandfather, Samuel Drake, was a musician and how he was an early member of the Nanaimo Silver Cornet Band, and she also gives details about his role as a sheriff and his time in Barkerville.https://library.viu.ca/libinfo/harmfullanguagestatementhttps://viuspace.viu.ca/bitstream/handle/10613/125/CoalTyeeBeckScript1979.pdf?sequence=

Financial Sector Development in Africa : Opportunities and Challenges
No full textAfrica's financial systems face
challenges across many dimensions, as discussed in the
report financing Africa: through the crisis and beyond. The
analysis in that report was based partly on several detailed
background papers that are included in this volume. The next
six chapters are written by experts in their respective
areas and provide an in-depth analysis of these challenges
and present possible solutions. In this introduction, the
authors provide an overview of the different chapters and
how they are related to each other and the main volume. The
three chapters in first part focus on key challenges
concerned with access to financial services, including
financial and operational deficiencies in the microfinance
market, reaping the benefits from the technological
revolution of retail banking, and deepening and broadening
agricultural finance across Africa. The three chapters thus
each cover different aspects with a different focus, ranging
from an institutional approach to a focus on innovation as a
driver of financial broadening to an important element of
financial infrastructure to a specific sector. The second
part includes the fourth chapter, it involves documents the
sizable need for additional housing in many African
countries, based on these countries' continuous
population growth and an ongoing urbanization trend. The
third part includes fifth chapter, which discuss the
repercussions of regulatory reforms in Europe and North
America for African regulators as well as local challenges.
The fourth part includes the sixth chapter, which is the
final chapter of this volume. It discusses the politics of
financial sector reform in Africa and, more specifically,
the space needed for an activist role for government to help
create the markets and coordination mechanisms necessary for
financial markets to deepen and broaden
