  • Yukon/Canada Partnership Allows Winter Access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site Elai
    15/08/2017 Yukon/Canada partnership allows winter access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site| Government of … FOR RELEASE December 21, 2012 Yukon/Canada partnership allows winter access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site WHITEHORSE—Yukon Highways and Public Works Minister and MLA for Kluane Wade Istchenko and Environment Minister Currie Dixon, along with Member of Parliament for Yukon Ryan Leef, announced today a cooperative working relationship to provide winter access to Kathleen Lake in Kluane National Park and Reserve and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site – two popular recreation destinations. “The Yukon government approached Parks Canada to seek a solution that would provide winter access to these important recreational areas,” Istchenko said. “I am very pleased that the Yukon government is part of this coordinated effort to encourage winter recreation, support winter tourism and enhance safety along the Haines Road.” Through the cooperative agreement, Highways and Public Works, with the support of Environment, will maintain access to Kathleen Lake on a trial basis throughout the winter. “The Yukon government recognizes that Kathleen Lake is an important site for winter recreational activities like ice fishing or skiing,” Dixon said. “We are happy to partner with Parks Canada to ensure that all Yukoners and visitors will continue to have access to the Kathleen Lake site.” Additionally, Highways and Public Works, along with the Skagway-based Log Cabin Ski Society and the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, will help support Parks Canada to keep the Log Cabin parking lot and restroom facilities open by clearing snow and refreshing supplies.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    An interdisciplinary approach to monitoring the hydroecology of thermokarst lakes in Old Crow Flats, Yukon Territory, Canada by Jana-marie Edesse Tondu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Jana-marie Edesse Tondu 2012 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Lake-rich thermokarst landscapes, such as Old Crow Flats (OCF) in northern Yukon, Canada have been identified as amongst the most vulnerable to climate change. This has raised concerns of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation (VGFN) and Parks Canada (Vuntut National Park) about the ecological integrity of this significant wetland. The influence of climate change on the hydroecological conditions of thermokarst lakes are complex and vary across the landscape, thus long-term hydroecological monitoring is essential to adequately assess the ecological integrity of the aquatic ecosystem and how it is changing over time. In a genuine interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, this thesis establishes an integrated approach using isotope hydrology, aquatic ecology, and paleolimnology to develop a robust long-term aquatic monitoring program that has already been adopted by Parks Canada. In collaboration with Parks Canada, 14 of 58 lakes that were previously studied during the International Polar Year from 2007-09 were selected to represent monitoring lakes. Lakes were sampled in early June and late August/early September 2010-11.

  • VUNTUT NATIONAL PARK Management Planning Program
    PROUDLY BRINGING YOU CANADA AT ITS BEST VUNTUT NATIONAL PARK Management Planning Program NEWSLETTER #1 OCTOBER, 2000 INTRODUCTION This newsletter launches the development of the first management plan for Vuntut National Park. The national park was established in 1995 under Chapter 10 of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Final Agreement (VGFNFA). Interim Management Guidelines were approved in April, 2000 and provide management direction until a Management Plan is approved. Parks Canada, the North Yukon Renewable Resources Council (NYRRC) and the Vuntut Gwitchin government work cooperatively to manage the park. All three parties are represented on the planning team. The Management Plan will provide long term strategic direction for the management of the park to ensure ecological integrity and continued Vuntut Gwitchin traditional opportunities on the land. The Management Plan is required by legislation, guided by public consultation, developed by a planning team of cooperative managers, approved by the Minister of Canadian Heritage and tabled in Parliament. Once approved, the Management Plan will be reviewed every five years. This is your opportunity to assist in defining and achieving a future vision for Vuntut National Park. Public Participation Public input is a key element of the planning process. During the Arctic National development of the Management Plan, Wildlife newsletters and Public Open Houses Refuge will be the main methods used to share information. Meetings with Old Inuvik stakeholders will also provide valuable Crow input into the process. Vuntut The Planning Team members want to Anchorage hear from you. The first management Dawson City plan developed for a national park is critical as it will shape the future of the park.

You might take positive steps as David Grassby did recently. David Grassby was 12 years old when he read an article about environmental threats to Oakbank Pond near his home in Thornhill, Ontario. David decided to help protect the pond and its wildlife. David talked to classmates and community members. He discovered that writing letters and informing the media are powerful tools to get action. He wrote many letters to the Town Council, the CBC, and newspapers. He appeared on several TV shows, including The Nature of Things hosted by David Suzuki. In each of his letters and interviews, David explained the problems facing the pond and suggested some solutions. For example, people were feeding the ducks. This attracted too many ducks for the pond to support. David recommended that the town install signs asking people not to feed the ducks. The media were able to convince people to make changes. David Grassby learned that it is important to be patient and to keep trying. He learned that one person can make a difference. Today, Oakbank Pond is a nature preserve, home to many birds such as ducks, Canada geese, blackbirds, and herons. It is a peaceful place that the community enjoys. 312 312-329_Ch12_F2 2/1/07 4:50 PM Page 313 Canada: Our Stories Continue What David Grassby did is an example of active citizenship.
