Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

  • Mount Robson – 1961
    238 T h e A l p i n e J o u r n A l 2 0 1 4 for treason at the Old Bailey in late November 1945, pleading guilty to eight counts of high treason and sentenced to death by hanging. He did TED NORRISH this in order to spare his family any more embarrassment, but the papers at Cambridge show how Amery and his younger son Julian tried every way they could to save his life. Despite a psychiatric report by an eminent Mount Robson – 1961 practitioner, Dr Edward Glover, that he was definitely abnormal with a psychopathic disorder and schizoid tendencies, and the intervention of the South African Field Marshall General Jan Smuts, an AC member, who pleaded directly for clemency with the UK Prime Minister Clement Atlee, it was to no avail. Albert Pierrepoint, the public hangman, described John Amery in his autobiography as the bravest man he had to execute. However, germane to this tragedy, considered by Ronald Harwood as significant to John Amery’s story, is that his father had concealed his part- Jewish ancestry. His mother, Elizabeth Leitner, was actually from a family of well-known Jewish scholars. Leo Amery lost his seat in Parliament in the Labour landslide victory in the General Election of 1945, and refused the offer of a peerage. He was however made a Companion of Honour. Leo kept active in climbing circles almost to the end of his life, ignoring the advice of his old Canadian friend, Wheeler, who, quoting Whymper, advised him in a letter that, ‘a man does not climb mountains after his 60th year’.

  • 264 March 1988
    RESEARCH BULLETIN No. 264 March 1988 Parks Canada Archaeology in Western Region, 1984 Introduction The Western Region Archaeological Research Unit of Parks Canada administered 90 projects in Alberta and British Columbia in 1984 ( See Table 1). All projects were under the financial management and administrative responsibility of the Regional Archaeologist of the Historical and Archaeological Research Section. Projects were completed through utilization of in-house resources, under contract, or through special agreements. This was an increase of 54 per cent over projects covered under permit in 1983. Seventy-two projects were associated with various National Parks and National Historic Parks and Sites in Alberta while 18 projects were related to British Columbia parks and sites. Of these, 57 involved HRIAs (areal and linear site surveys and assessments), eight mitigations (salvage and conservation archaeology involving major or test excavations) and 25 special projects (support activities, special studies, overviews and research). Most of the heritage resources impact and assessment projects were conducted by Regional Salvage Archaeologist Ian Sumpter. Studies were completed in Elk Island, Waterton Lakes, Jasper, Yoho, Glacier and Banff National Parks.
