However, today there is widespread acknowledgement that the management of cultural heritage resources needs to be brought into large-scale planning and management processes in an integrated and holistic manner. This is particularly true in protected areas, which not only contain significant cultural heritage resources, but are also often mandated to conserve these resources and can benefit significantly from the effort.

  • AWA Response to Castle Park Plan
    ALBERTA WHITEWATER ASSOCIATION Water Recreation in Castle Park The new Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park proposed by the Government of Alberta will bring changes to recreational activities in southwestern Alberta. The Alberta Whitewater Association (AWA) including its member clubs and paddlers have a long history of paddling the lakes, rivers and creeks in the region. Maintaining access to the paddling opportunities while respecting the environmental integrity of the region are critical goals for the AWA when reviewing the plan for the new Parks. The AWA has 3 paddling clubs in southwest Alberta, the Waterlogged Kayak Club, the Oldman River Canoe Kayak Club in Lethbridge and the Pinch-o-Crow Creekers in Pincher Creek and Crowsnest Pass. The area is the host for the largest whitewater paddling event in western Canada, the 3 Rivers Whitewater Rendezvous. This event has been held outside the Park on the May long weekend for almost 20 years at the Castle River Rodeo Grounds campground. The Alberta Freestyle Kayak Association also holds one of its annual events, the Carbondale Creek Race, on the 5 Alive rapid each year. Paddlers come from all over Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan to paddle in southwest Alberta during the short paddling season each year. Paddling activities by their very nature have a small environmental footprint on the landscape. Human powered watercraft traversing on lakes and rivers are uniQue to recreation in the following ways: - the water trails that paddlers travel across already exist as part of the natural landscape - paddlers do not leave footprints in the river and the boats do not impact the terrain they cross over - water travel is a protected right under Canadian and Alberta law - fish and wildlife may be temporarily displaced but are not permanently affected by paddlers - most other recreational users are not inconvenienced or disturbed by the travel of paddlers along the river.

  • Analysis of Habitat Fragmentation and Ecosystem Connectivity Within the Castle Parks, Alberta, Canada by Breanna Beaver Submit
    Analysis of Habitat Fragmentation and Ecosystem Connectivity within The Castle Parks, Alberta, Canada by Breanna Beaver Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Environmental Science Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY December, 2017 Analysis of Habitat Fragmentation and Ecosystem Connectivity within The Castle Parks, Alberta, Canada Breanna Beaver I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Breanna Beaver, Student Date Approvals: Dawna Cerney, Thesis Advisor Date Peter Kimosop, Committee Member Date Felicia Armstrong, Committee Member Date Clayton Whitesides, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract Habitat fragmentation is an important subject of research needed by park management planners, particularly for conservation management. The Castle Parks, in southwest Alberta, Canada, exhibit extensive habitat fragmentation from recreational and resource use activities. Umbrella and keystone species within The Castle Parks include grizzly bears, wolverines, cougars, and elk which are important animals used for conservation agendas to help protect the matrix of the ecosystem. This study identified and analyzed the nature of habitat fragmentation within The Castle Parks for these species, and has identified geographic areas of habitat fragmentation concern. This was accomplished using remote sensing, ArcGIS, and statistical analyses, to develop models of fragmentation for ecosystem cover type and Digital Elevation Models of slope, which acted as proxies for species habitat suitability.

PO Box 610, 7720 17 Avenue Coleman, Alberta T0K 0M0 montem-resources.com 26 April 2021 Prairie and Northern Region Canada Place Suite 1145, 9700 Jasper Avenue Edmonton, AB T0L 1Y0 Attention: Tara Fulton, Team Lead Dear Ms. Fulton, RE: Montem Resources Tent Mountain Mine – Response to Designation Request from Ktunaxa Nation Council dated April 1, 2021 Montem Resources Alberta Operations Ltd. (“Montem”) is in receipt of correspondence dated April 1, 2021 from the Ktunaxa Nation Council (“KNC”), on behalf of the Ktunaxa Nation (“Ktunaxa”), to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”) requesting that the Tent Mountain Mine Project (the “Project”) be designated for federal review in accordance with section 9(3) of the Impact Assessment Act.1 Montem respects the Ktunaxa’s rights and interests in the area of the Project as well as the concerns raised by the KNC. Montem has commenced engagement with the KNC to better understand how resumption of mining at the Tent Mountain Mine site will potentially impact the Ktunaxa and to ensure that any impacts to their rights and interests are addressed. Montem reiterates its request that the Project not be designated for the detailed reasons set out below including: 1. The Project is the restart of a small, existing mining operation on a previously disturbed brownfield mine site, with a relatively short duration (approximately 14 years) with a production capacity of less than 5,000 tonnes per day. It is not a new mine or a large expansion that would warrant federal designation; 2. The Project is an existing and permitted operation with mining activities that currently cross the provincial boundary between the Province of Alberta and the Province of British Columbia.

A series of mining towns were built along the railway line from Hillcrest and Bellevue in the east to Sparwood in the west.
