British block settlements?
Chiefly the Okanagan and the Thompson, namelyu Walhachin, British Columbia but also others; Cowichan Valley I think, although that dated from colonial days...not frrom block settlement era stuff like the Brititsh orcharding invasion of the Okanagan or the estabglishment of Walhachin. Is the article's definition exclusive ofr "off the boat" Brits? (most of these were hardly unwashed, though...).Skookum1 (talk) 05:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There were definately British blocs on the prairies. I don't anything about the BC blocs, however. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 15:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

African-American block settlements
Added Breton, Alberta and Wildwood, Alberta to list based on information here: http://blackpioneers.albertasource.ca/communities/index.html The other communities named on the website don't seem to be block settlements. Country Wife (talk) 16:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed that section heading, for what I hope are obvious reasons.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:27, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just noting Happy Valley, British Columbia and Saltspring Island were effectively block settlements, though earlier and unrelated to Sifton's policy and established under Governor Douglas' policies....Skookum1 (talk) 17:31, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Hagensborg and others
I didn't place Hagensborg, British Columbia, which was a Norwegian colony, because I'm not sure it was a block settlement; a planned settlement yes but I'm not sure if it was a formal block settlement like the others here. Webster's Corners in Maple Ridge comes to mind, but it was a natural migration of exiles from the breakup of Sointula and not a planned block settlement, th0ugh it was a Finnish concentration of settlement. I'm also unsure of the status of the Hungarians in Prince Rupert and Terrace, if that was a block settlement, likewise the Portuguese in Kitimat, or the Italians of Trail or Revelstoke. In a sense also, places like Walhachin and in fact most of the Okanagan, particularly in the Vernon area, were British block settlements or some of the locations there were; in other cases the policy of granting land to retired British military officers produced effective block settlements, such as in the ranch country around Cache Creek (which includes Walhachin, which was definitely "block" in nature, adn the O'Keefe and Coldstream ranches near Vernon; what is now Pemberton started as a Norwegian block settlement, Agerton.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:27, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
