Sir James Douglas (August 15, 1803 – August 2, 1877), was a Canadian fur trader and politician who became the 1st Governor of the Colony of British Columbia. He is often credited as "The Father of British Columbia". He started work at 16 for the North West Company and then the Hudson's Bay Company, becoming a high-ranking officer. From 1851 to 1864, he was Governor of the Colony of Vancouver Island. In 1858, he also became the first Governor of the Colony of British Columbia, in order to assert the authority of the British Empire during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, which had the potential to turn the B.C.
