Research and Economic Statistics Trans-Canada Highway Division Organization Chart, 1952-53 DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT Introduction During the fiscal year, progress in those fields of resources and national development, which are the administrative responsibility of the Department, was marked by expanded mining and related activity and sustained growth in the value of mineral production in the Northwest and Yukon Territories; a substantial increase in the number of visitors to the National Parks; gratifying progress in the construction of the Trans­ Canada Highway; the convening of the Sixth British Commonwealth Forestry Conference in Ottawa; and a new record attained in the number of tourist entries to Canada. Mining activity in the Canadian North saw production values raised by about $2,000,000 in 1952-53 and development spread from the Mac­ kenzie District eastward to Keewatin District. There was a 21 per cent increase in the number of visitors to the National Parks from last year's record figure, with consequent growing pressure on parks roads and other facilities. Nova Scotia's signature to the Trans-Canada Highway Agreement and maintenance of progress in paving and grading were viewed with marked satisfaction. In the field of forestry, the holding of the Sixth British Common­ wealth Forestry Conference and a better than average forest fire year throughout Canada were highlights. In the autumn of 1952, the Federal Government decided to participate financially in the spruce budworm spraying in northern New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia joined the ranks of those provinces which have entered into an agreement under the Canada Forestry Act to conduct forest inventories. Wildlife management studies were continued in many parts of Canada, with emphasis on northern regions and the western prairies, and field investigations were also undertaken in anthropology and natural history. There was a slightly more than 8 per cent rise in water-power develop­ ment in Canada last year with an increase in interest in the possibilities of certain far northern areas. Tourists were again attracted to Canada in record numbers, the majority of them from the United States. An increase of five per cent over last year brought the total to 26,300,000 individual entries, including commuters and other repeat visitors. 9 76963-2 10 Department of Resources and Development The following table gives a summary of revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year: Revenues * Expenditures National Parks Branch $ 10.07 $ 384,930.00 Administrative Offices In reviewing the year's activities in the administrative sphere of the National Parks Branch, special attention is directed to the continued National Parks Branch remarkable growth in the number of visitors to National Parks and 22,428.75 National Historic Parks in all parts of Canada.

In the past they were stewards of the land on which they lived, knowing that their health as people and a society was intricately tied to the health of the land. In response to the Berger enquiry of the mid 1970’s, the gov- ernment of Canada made a commitment to recognize this relationship by estab- lishing new programmes and institutions to give the Gwich’in people a role as stewards once again. One of the actions taken has been the creation of a formal land use planning process. Many people from all communities in the Gwich’in Settlement Area have worked diligently on land use planning in this formal process with the government since the 1980s.

  • Recreation Management Plan for the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area
    Local Strategic Recreation Management Plan for the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area Frog River, Courtesy of George Smith Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management May 2005 Recreation Management Plan for the M-KMA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Over the course of developing this plan a number of groups and individuals kindly provided their time, support and expertise who we would like to acknowledge, since their efforts have helped to ensure the formation of what we hope to be a balanced and informed recreation management plan (RMP) for the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (M-KMA). In establishing the original Muskwa-Kechika Recreation Management Plan (M-KRMP), in addition to a number of groups and individuals who provided their input and expertise, a Working Group consisting of government agency staff, First Nations representatives and M-K Board members combined efforts. Members of this Working Group are listed in Appendix 1. In establishing the Mackenzie Addition’s Recreation Management Plan, input and support was also received by Provincial Government staff, First Nations representatives, M-K Board members and a number of tourism and recreation stakeholders; however, this was not achieved through the formation of a Working Group. A list of specific individuals and involved groups occurs in Appendix 1. Special thanks is extended towards these above-mentioned core groups and individuals whose hard work and commitment has resulted in a plan that will provide for continued recreation opportunities in the Muskwa-Kechika while maintaining the area’s spectacular wilderness and wildlife values. Our sincere gratitude is also directed to those groups, individuals, clubs, organizations and local communities and governments who took the time and effort to assist in this worthwhile planning process.

PREFACE In this admirable book the Rev. Dr. Maclean has done a piece of work of far-reaching significance. The Doctor is well fitted by training, experience, knowledge and sym- pathy to do this work and has done it in a manner which fully vindicates his claim to all these qualifications. Our beloved Canada is just emerging into a vigorous consciousness of nationhood and is showing herself worthy of the best ideals in her conception of what the hig'hest nationality really involves. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the young of this young nation thrilled with a new sense of power, and conscious of a new place in the activities of the world, should understand thoroughly those factors and forces which have so strikingly combined to give us our present place of prominence.

From time to time various departments of Government issue bulletins and pamphlets on one or another of the many economic, topographic, or geographic aspects of different sections of the Province. In this bulletin the Department of Railways has gathered together in comprehensive and compact form a wealth of material on the topography, resources, and industries of the district served by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway continues to make possible the growth and development of a rich and important section of the Province.
