Kapoor Singh Siddoo was a fifty-percent partner with Mayo Singh who was the founder of Mayo Lumber Co. in 1917. Mayo Lumber Company Ltd. was incorporated November 21, 1924, under the British Columbia Company's Act, in Victoria, BC, Canada. Initially, Kapoor Singh Sidoo was not an equal partner with Mayo but he is listed as one of the directors in the 1924 incorporation document.
In 1917, Mayo had sent money to Kapoor Singh Sidoo in Ontario to come out west and join him and his other partners as Mayo's Chilliwack operations were winding down and he had plans to move operations to Vancouver Island. Kapoor was hired on as bookkeeper as he was an educated man and could speak fluent English. Neither Mayo nor Kapoor wore turbans and both were clean-shaven, unlike many of their Sikh religion, countrymen.
The company operated railway logging operations and a sawmill at Paldi (originally Mayo) and, in 1928, at Kapoor. The Mayo Sawmill was on the E&N Cowichan Subdivision near the Hillcrest Lumber and McNeill and Munn sites. The Kapoor Lumber Company mill was located at Mile-35 on the CNR line at Sooke Lake -- now part of the Greater Victoria Watershed. Water to operate the Kapoor mill came from Council Creek where it flowed under the CNR Railline from Council Lake to Sooke River. The Kapoor Mill operated from 1928 to 1940. Kapoor Lumber Company still owns lands in the area.
Joan Mayo, in her book "Paldi Remembered", states there were few Europeans (whites) working in the woods for Mayo prior to 1940. One exception would be Bruce Frederick Irvine who worked at the Kapoor Lumber Co. Ltd.'s Sooke Lake operation ca. 1928. Irvine was the grandson of John & Jesse Irvine who arrived in Victoria, BC, aboard the barque, Tory, May 14, 1851. The Irvine's started their journey around the Horn from their homeland in the Orkney Islands, Scotland.
Bruce Irvine presumably got hired on at Kapoor as a millwright and carpenter to build bunkhouses for the workers at the new Sooke Lake mill. He was there before and after the fire of 1929 which destroyed most of the mill but spared the bunkouses. Irvine took about a dozen photgraphs at the Kapoor millsite which are now kept in the Irvine Family Archives. None have ever been published with the exception of the one shown above.
Thus, viewing the Irvine photos and comparing them with the B.C. Archives & Records Service [BCARS] one can recognize the original site of the Kapoor Lumber Company's Sooke Lake mill. The company letterhead describes its location as "Sooke Lake Post Office, Mile-35 C.N.R.". Doug MacFarlane -- an amateur Sooke historian -- states he visited the Kapoor millsite many times prior to the 1970's and it was located where the CNR tracks cross Council Creek.

Equal in an Unequal World
The Global Ethics Forum 2013 - Public Forum 'Equal in an Unequal World' took place on Thursday 27 June 2013 from 14:30 to 18:00 in the Main Hall of the Ecumenical Centre, 150 route de Ferney, CH-1218 Geneva/Switzerland. The Public Forum was organised in the context of the Global Ethics Forum 2013 working sessions on 27 and 28 June.
The 2013 meetings built on the success of the first (2009), second (2011) and third (2012) Global Ethics Fora and played a key role in the preparations for the Global Ethics Forum 2014 Conference in Bangalore/India. We are thankful to Infosys for their sponsorship and support for the Global Ethics Forum 2013. The 2013 meetings were smaller in size and organised around the Public Forum on the first afternoon and closed working sessions for invited participants only. The working sessions provided an opportunity for the Global Ethics Forum Workgroup moderators and key members to meet face-to-face to discuss their progress, present deliverables (articles, guides, tools) and together with directors of the Globethics.net Regional Programmes and contacts to plan the participation and roles of each respective Workgroup and programme at the Global Ethics Forum 2014.
Global Ethics Forum (GEF) Is a global ethics network of experts, institutions and individuals from all walks of life interested in applied ethics. It offers with its Global Ethics Forum an innovative global platform for reflection, dialogue and action.

About Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The May 25, 1977 theatrical debut of Star Wars --- on a scant 32 screens across America -- was destined to change the face of cinema forever. An instant classic and an unparalleled box office success, the rousing "space opera" was equal parts fairy tale, western, 1930s serial and special effects extravaganza, with roots in mythologies from cultures around the world.
From the mind of visionary writer/director George Lucas, the epic space fantasy introduced the mystical Force into the cultural vocabulary and it continues to grow, its lush universe ever-expanding through film, television, publishing, video games and more.

A large group of well over 100 protesters gathered to voice their concern over what they perceived as police brutality and to listen to activists and local citizens speak about the pressing issues of the day. Some passing vehicles at the busy intersection, known as Joliet's "Six Corners", honked their horns and gestured signs of support and solidarity to the participants.

Between 250 and 300 people took part in a demonstration for equal rights on Saturday, November 16, in Lille, France, including sixty Roma who have been accommodated at the Trade Union centre after a forced evacuation of their encampment. The Roma people have become one of the most explosive issues in French politics – to the point of provoking a government crisis which further damaged the authority of president François Hollande.

Entre 250 et 300 personnes ont manifesté samedi, 16 novembre, à Lille, France, pour l'égalité des droits, dont une soixantaine de Roms qui sont hébergés à la Bourse du Travail après une évacuation forcée de leur campement. Les Roms sont devenus l'une des questions les plus explosives de la politique française - au point de provoquer une crise gouvernementale qui a encore endommagé l'autorité du président François Hollande.
