  • 6.9 Wildlife Management Unit 350 Moose Section Authors
    6.9 Wildlife Management Unit 350 moose Section Authors: Al Fontaine and Robb Stavne Historically, WMU 350 was part of Alberta’s Northern Moose Management Program and was surveyed annually over the winters of 1993/94 to 1997/98 (Lynch 1997). The WMU was again surveyed during the winter of 2001/02. Attempts were made to survey the WMU during the winter of 2005/06, but poor weather and snow conditions forced the cancellation of the survey in its early stages. WMU 350 receives substantial hunting pressure by hunters from First Nations and Métis communities, and it is also a highly desirable WMU for recreational hunters given historical moose populations in the WMU, ease of access, and relative proximity to major urban centres. Therefore, regular moose surveys in WMU 350 are important to assess moose population status and trends in order to properly manage the resource. Current information on moose populations and distribution is also required for proper habitat and land use management. 6.9.1 Study area WMU 350 is delimited to the north by the shorelines of Lesser Slave Lake and the Lesser Slave River from Kinuso to Smith, to the west and southwest by Highway 33 from Kinuso to the Peace Pipeline west of Fort Assiniboine, and to the east and southeast by the Athabasca River from Smith to the ferry on the Athabasca River west of Vega (Figure 16). The town of Slave Lake and parts of the town of Swan Hills are found within the boundaries of the WMU. The only major lake present within the WMU is Mitsue Lake, which is surrounded by the Mitsue Lake Industrial Park.

  • 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. Project Archaeologist Rod Pickard completed three short-term mitigative projects in Jasper National Park at the mining community of Environment Environnement Cette publication est disponible en français.

  • More Testing, New Technology Asked of Hazardous Waste Incinerator
    For Immediate Release October 11, 2016 More testing, new technology asked of hazardous waste incinerator The Swan Hills (hazardous waste) Treatment Centre is located at the top of the Swan Hills, 70 kilometres as the crow flies from the Town of Slave Lake, 80 km S from Kinuso, about 160 km due west from the Town of Athabasca, and 65 km NE from Fort Assiniboine. The plant is owned by Alberta Infrastructure. SHTC is operated by SUEZ Environmental, in a contract with the Government of Alberta. We wrote a challenge to the facility’s 10 year Approval, and included the names of many local people who joined us in expressing concerns. When our concerns about operations at this facility were recognized by Alberta Environment and Parks in August of 2015, we were excited to get them addressed. Keepers of the Athabasca participated in our first meeting with SUEZ Environmental and Alberta Environment and Parks on September 9, 2016. We agreed to work together to address these issues: Human and environmental effects of ‘unplanned’ and ‘allowable’ PCB, dioxin, and furan releases Ever since the plant (then the Swan Hills Toxic Waste Treatment Facility) started burning waste in 1987, they have had ‘allowable emissions’ of extremely toxic chemicals, such as PCB’s, dioxins, and furans, which are released in small, but continuous amounts through their smokestacks into the environment. Over decades, this adds up to a large amount toxic particulate matter into the atmosphere. Serious “unplanned releases” occurred during fires and explosions in at least 1996, 1997, and 2009, releasing large amounts of toxins into the air.
