  • The First Twenty Five Years Peace Hills Insurance Building, Edmonton, AB Introduction
    The First Twenty Five Years Peace Hills Insurance Building, Edmonton, AB Introduction It’s a story that begins 25 years ago. Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister of Canada and Peter Lougheed was Alberta’s Premier. Terry Fox succumbed to cancer after capturing the admiration and support of Canadians across the country. “Bette Davis Eyes” topped the charts and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” took theatres across Canada by storm. The Edmonton Oilers drafted Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri and Andy Moog to support Wayne Gretzky and build a Stanley Cup contending team. It was a time of romance: Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles were married, as millions of people across the world watched on television. And it was a time of tragedy: AIDS was identified and diagnosed for the first time, and the New York Islanders won the Stanley Cup. It was a time of vision: in Hobbema, Alberta, the Samson Cree Nation – led by Chief Jim Omeasoo and later his successor Chief Victor Buffalo – decided it was time to invest the Nation’s oil and gas royalties and diversify their holdings. In 1981, the dream that would become Peace Hills General Insurance Company was born. Original letter of formation and objectives The Eighties 1981 Dream Catchers – Investing Wisely The path the Samson Cree Nation took in establishing Peace Hills Insurance was not a straight one. In 1981, Chief Jim Omeasoo lead them in a new direction, with the goal of investing their oil and gas revenues in new ventures. They persuaded David Nicholson to leave his job with the federal government and become the Chief Jim Omeasoo General Manager of Samson Management Limited, which handled the management of their investments.

Surface meteorological data were collected every 30 minutes at 4 sites along the FOPEX transect (from Caroline westward). In addition, mobile transects were performed allowing for even finer 1 minute resolution data. GPS-derived precipitable water estimates were also examined. The major findings of this investigation were: 1) During the 4 summer months, 7 dryline events occurred in the project area. 2) Five of these dryline events were associated with convective activity, including one severe thunderstorm with 2 cm diameter hail.

  • Unfolding a Little History
    SARDAA History Page 1 of 25 Unfolding Our 25-Year History by Michelle Limoges, secretary, founding member and dog handler Overarching themes in SARDAA’s history include our tenacity, our willingness to reach out to other SAR groups both at home and away, our never-ending search for new/different/improved training methods, our goal of improving our organization and its processes, and our dedication to providing the best darn SAR dog teams around! Furthermore, there have been many people over our history who have believed in us, used our services and stood by us through thick and thin – we won’t list your names for fear of missing someone, but you know who you are! Thank you for honouring us with your support and confidence. Very early days Prior to SARDAA’s official formation under the Alberta Societies Act in November of 1989, the original six dogs and people had been training in obedience, protection and tracking together for some time at a local Edmonton dog school run by Kevin George. We hadn’t even begun to think about SAR work at that point! Original Objectives It’s important for newcomers to SARDAA to be aware of the organization’s history. SARDAA is much more than individual members and their dogs; we are a team dedicated to training and deploying the best SAR dogs we are capable of producing. We take this mandate very seriously. 12/30/17 SARDAA History Page 2 of 25 1989 Objectives of the Society a) To encourage and promote the use of SAR dogs throughout the province of Alberta b) To establish performance standards for SAR dog teams c) To educate both the community and government in the training and deployment of SAR dogs d) To establish a resource library of SAR dog subjects e) To train dog and handler teams for mission-ready SAR work in wilderness and disaster duty.

It has been a pleasure and an honor working with my dissertation committee. I would like to thank Dr. Julie Dodd, Dr. Johanna Cleary, Dr. Churchill Roberts, and Dr. Ryan Duffy. These four esteemed scholars shared their expertise, direction, and guidance. I thank Dr. Dodd for serving as my dissertation chair.

  • A Tornado Scenario for Barrie, Ontario
    A Tornado Scenario for Barrie, Ontario by: David A. Etkin (corresponding author) Adaptation and Impacts Research Group, Environment Canada Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Toronto 33 Willcocks St., Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E8 [email protected] Soren E. Brun North Carolina Dep’t. of Transport GIS Unit Solomon Chrom Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University Pooja Dogra Institute for Environment Studies, U. of T. July 2002 ICLR Research Paper Series – No. 20 (A contribution to the Canadian Natural Hazards Assessment Project) INTRODUCTION A natural disaster occurs when an environmental extreme triggers social vulnerabilities. The magnitude of the resulting impact is then a function of the intensity of the environmental extreme coupled with a society’s perception and adaptation to the hazard (Blaike et al., 1994). An examination of risk should therefore be composed of two parts: one part relating to the probability of a natural hazard occurring, while the second relates to the magnitude of the resulting impact (which depends upon the vulnerability of the exposed infrastructure and population). Various studies such as Hague (1987), Paul (1995a,b), Etkin et al. (1995; 2001), Paruk and Blackwell (1994) and Newark (1983), have explored the probability of tornado occurrence in Canada; while other (Lawrynuik et al, 1985; Allen, 1986, Carter et al., 1989; Charlton,et al., 1998) have discussed the impacts of individual Canadian tornadoes. Globally, Canada ranks second, after the United States, in tornado risk. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the second part of the problem - that is, the impact/vulnerability aspect. In order to accomplish this, this paper will briefly review historical tornado impacts, consider one tornado disaster in more detail (the May 31, 1985 Barrie Tornado), and consider a hypothetical scenario of how it might have been worse, had events transpired somewhat differently (ie.

The development of Divide (Fig.1). Central Alberta is highly susceptible these storms was compared to the conceptual to severe convection, having on average 52 days model for severe convection suggested by Smith with hail fall each summer (Smith et al. 1998). and Yau (1993a,b). They identified two stages Alberta thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes occur leading to the formation of severe convective far less frequently (Newark 1984; Bullas and storms.

  • Physical Features
    Physical Features Chapter 2 Prepared by J. Brad Stelfox, John Godfrey, Mike Flannigan, Bob Wynes, and Greg Tink Summary Points • The geological landscape of northwest Alberta reflects the dynamic erosional and depositional history of the region. Advancing and retreating glaciers during the Pleistocene modified the pre-glacial topography, smoothing the highlands and depositing materials in topographic depressions. • Today, morainal deposits blanket most of the lowland regions. Glacial deposits on upland areas are more shallow and consequently these regions have some Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments exposed. • Soil conditions in northwest Alberta vary significantly depending on glacial history, local parent materials, climate, vegetation, and topography, with finer-textured clay-dominated soils occurring in glacial lake basins, and clay/loams with some stoniness occurring in highland regions where glacial till prevails. • Permafrost is present throughout much of the northern portions of the study area and is generally found beneath bog complexes. Permafrost is common in more northerly latitudes but yields to degraded permafrost further south. Degraded permafrost areas are those sites that provide clear evidence of permafrost in recent geologic times, but has been degraded because of changes in climate or landform. • The overall climate for northwest Alberta is continental, with warm summers and cold winters. Large contrasts in temperature between day and night, and between winter and summer are typical. For seven to eight months of the year, the air transport in northwest Alberta is from the west, which might be expected to bring moist air from the Pacific. However, most of the moisture is lost when the air passes over the Coastal Mountain Range and the Rocky Mountains, thereby giving the region its continental climate.
