The Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve Christoph Stadel and Don Huisman The Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve The Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve (RMBR): Challenges, opportunities, and management issues at the southern fringe of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba Christoph Stadel University of Salzburg, Austria Don Huisman Erickson, Manitoba Key Messages • Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve (RMBR) is one of three biosphere reserves in the Canadian prairies. • Multiple interactions take place between Riding Mountain National Park, the adjacent municipalities, and First Nation reserves. • Projects and activities pose challenges that for successful resolution require cooperation among RMBR stakeholders. Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve (RMBR) was founded in 1986, 53 years after the establishment of Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP). Currently the RMBR is one of 18 biosphere reserves in Canada, three of which are located in the Prairie region. The reserve has a total area of approximately 13,310 km2 comprising the RMNP core area measuring 2,700 km2, a buffer zone of 268 km2, and a transition zone or cooperation area of 10,342 km2. Fourteen municipalities and four First Nation reserves are located within the transition zone. Three of the reserves (Rolling River, Keeseekoowenin, and Waywayseecappo) are located in the southern part of the RMBR. This paper focuses on the complex ecological, demographic, cultural, socio-economic, and political-administrative framework and relationships between RMNP, the municipalities, and the First Nation reserves. ‘Baskets’ of complementarities, mutual opportunities and benefits contrast with multiple challenges, diverging interests, and potential sources of conflict. Recently, enhanced communication, closer interactions, and joint projects have characterized relationships, at least in some areas between the National Park, and some of the municipalities and First Nation reserves. However, genuine environmental commitment and protection, as well as a strong, diversified economic base, and a harmonious coordination of these principal objectives may require an even stronger effort and cooperation between all of the regional stakeholders.

The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Indigenous organizations more available to the public. This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown from 16 pages in the first edition to more than 100 pages in the current edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Indigenous cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present accurate and up-to-date listings, with fax numbers, email addresses and websites included whenever possible.

While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

Initially, the confl icts were related to low elk numbers caused primarily by unregulated harvest of elk. The creation of RMNP in 1930 and the associated ban on hunting allowed elk numbers to reach critically high levels. Since farming began, elk have been associated with considerable damage to fences and crops around RMNP, with annual damage often >$240,000.

If Canada fulfills this commitment, the country will see the largest expansion of PA networks in its history.

    September 2015 Manitoba Hydro V38R/Line 81 Riding Mountain National Park Environmental Impact Analysis Submitted to: Manitoba Hydro Licensing & Environmental Assessment Department 820 Taylor Ave (3) Winnipeg, Manitoba R3M 3T1 Prepared by: M. Forster Enterprises PO Box 931 Teulon, Manitoba R0C 3B0 Joro Consultants Inc. PO Box 23 Clandeboye, Manitoba AAE Tech Services Inc. PO Box 1064 LaSalle, Manitoba R0G 1B0 Dillon Consulting Ltd. 1558 Wilson Place Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 0Y4 Manitoba Hydro V38R/Line 81 Riding Mountain National Park Environmental Impact Analysis September 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report documents an Environmental Impact Analysis for activities associated with two existing Manitoba Hydro transmission lines that cross through a section of Riding Mountain National Park. It is submitted in response to Section 67 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 (CEAA 2012) as it is being carried out on federal lands. As Parks Canada is the authority administering these lands, it is submitted to Parks Canada following the Guide to Parks Canada Environmental Impact Analysis under CEAA 2012. The 230 kV V38R and the 115 kV Line 81 transmission lines were constructed in 1964 in a common 34 kilometre long Right-of-Way that enters the park at its northern boundary and continues south through the park to its southern boundary. For almost 50 years the transmission lines and Right-of-Way have been operated and maintained by Manitoba Hydro to provide service to customers outside of the park area, through collaboration with Parks Canada and the Province of Manitoba. The process of collaboration has been undertaken to facilitate mutually agreeable approaches and practices that allow Manitoba Hydro to operate and maintain the transmission lines and Right-of-Way in a manner that protects the environment and the ecological integrity of the park while maintaining a safe and reliable electrical system.
