Mount Robson Park Management Plan Mount Robson Park Management Plan Part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site March 2011 This management plan replaces the 1992 Mount Robson Provincial Park Master Plan and the 2005 Mount Robson Provincial Park (Swift Creek Addition) Purpose Statement and Zoning Plan. Mount Robson Park Management Plan Approved by: Date Mount Robson Park Management Plan – March 2011 Acknowledgements BC Parks would like to thank all those who put time and effort into developing, commenting and preparing this management plan. Whether you represent an organized group or are an interested individual, your comments and suggestions are very helpful. BC Parks would also like to thank members of the Simpcw First Nation for their contributions. Specifically, Joe Jules and Harry Jules spent a significant amount of time compiling Simpcw’s interests and suggested changes. In addition, a number of government staff and contractors put time into the preparation of this management plan. Staff from the Ministry of Environment provided professional knowledge and advice. Compass Resource Management Consultants and PRW Consulting Services also contributed to components of the management plan. Mount Robson Park Management Plan – March 2011 i Mount Robson Park Management Plan – March 2011 ii Executive Summary Mount Robson Park is one of British Columbia’s oldest and best known provincial parks. In recognition of its natural heritage and its outstanding value to humanity through its contribution to the protection of the largely undisturbed wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, it is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. Although there is a major transportation corridor running through the middle of the park, the park contributes significantly to the protection of representative examples of British Columbia’s diverse ecosystems. Mount Robson Park protects a variety of landscape features and offers diverse recreation opportunities. It serves an important tourism role for travellers on the Yellowhead Highway, and is a destination mountain wilderness park for visitors and regional residents. It conserves special features such as the headwaters of the Fraser River, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies (Mount Robson), the deepest cave in North America north of Mexico (Arctomys Cave) and the Yellowhead Pass National Historic Site. Recognizing that environmental, social and economic considerations need to be considered in the park’s management, an ecosystem-based management approach will be used in Mount Robson Park. The development of the management plan occurred over a three-year period between 2006 and 2009 and incorporates a set of performance measures to guide BC Parks in the implementation of the management plan. A key initiative proposed in Mount Robson Park is to develop a cultural interpretation program with supporting infrastructure to be operated by the Simpcw First Nation. This facility will provide socio-economic benefits to the Simpcw First Nation while providing a high quality cultural experience for park visitors. This management plan updates the 1992 Mount Robson Provincial Park Master Plan. The management direction provided in this management plan will assist park managers to conserve the values in Mount Robson Park for people to enjoy today and into the future.

This management plan replaces the 1992 Mount Robson Provincial Park Master Plan and draws from various documents and reports including the Mount Robson Park background reports (1991 and 2006), the Mount Robson Ecosystem Based Management Plan (1996, updated 2001), and the Forest Health Strategy for Mount Robson Park (updated 2005). 1.2 Management Planning Process The management planning process occurred between the summer of 2006 and the summer of 2009. The background report was drafted in November 2006 and formed the information resource base for the production of the management plan. A series of consultation sessions with park use permit holders, individuals and organizations that expressed an interest in the management planning process occurred in the summer and fall of 2006. Public open houses were conducted in February 2007 and the draft management plan was posted on the BC Parks website for review and comment in Spring 2007 and Fall 2008. First Nations consultation occurred throughout the management planning process and the Simpcw First Nation contributed to the content. 1.3 Background Summary Mount Robson Park was established in 1913 to protect the mountains in the vicinity of Mount Robson for public enjoyment. It was the second provincial park established in the province. In 2000, 5,956 hectares were added to the park in the Swift Current Creek area expanding the size of the park to more than 224,000 hectares. The park lies in the central Rocky Mountains on the Alberta-British Columbia border, next to Jasper National Park, 300 kilometres east of Prince George and 450 kilometres west of Edmonton

Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

Canadian Society of Soil Science Annual Meeting, Banff, Alberta May 2014. 18 p. 2 3 Banff Park In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

    Mount Assiniboine Park Management Plan Part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site November 2012 Cover Page Photo Credit: Christian Kimber (Park Ranger) This document replaces the direction provided in the Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park Master Plan (1989). Mount Assiniboine Park Management Plan Approved by: November 15, 2012 ______________________________ __________________ Tom Bell Date Regional Director, Kootenay Okanagan Region BC Parks November 15, 2012 ______________________________ __________________ Brian Bawtinheimer Date Executive Director, Parks Planning and Management Branch BC Parks Plan Highlights The management vision for Mount Assiniboine Park is that the park continues to be an international symbol of the pristine scenic grandeur of British Columbia’s wilderness and the recreational enjoyment it offers. Key elements of the management plan include strategies to: Implement a zoning plan that enhances the emphasis on Mount Assiniboine Park’s value both as a component of a UNESCO World Heritage Site (which protects significant examples of Canadian Rocky Mountain ecosystems) and as the location of an internationally recognized wilderness recreation feature associated with heritage structures from the earliest days of facility-based backcountry tourism in the Canadian Rockies. Approximately 86% of the park is zoned as Wilderness Recreation, 13% is zoned as Nature Recreation, less than 1% is zoned as Special Feature and less than 0.01% is zoned as Intensive Recreation. Develop an ecosystem management strategy that coordinates management of vegetation and wildlife in the park with that of adjacent protected areas under other agencies’ jurisdiction and with activities on adjacent provincial forest lands. This includes a proposal to prepare a vegetation management strategy to maintain or restore natural disturbance regimes (i.e., insects, disease and fire) wherever possible.

  • 2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report
    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.

  • Role of the Protected Area Provincial and Regional Context
    Role of the Protected Area Provincial and Regional Context Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks lie in southeastern British Columbia in the Rocky Mountains, about 85 km southwest of Calgary, Alberta. They are flanked to the East by the Elk Valley and the Kananaskis Valley and to the West by the Park Ranges. The mountain ranges of the Kootenay District provide a wide diversity of natural values and recreation opportunities as evidenced by the numerous national and provincial parks in the District (Fig. 2). Over 16% of the land base in the East Kootenays is in protected areas. · Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks are a significant part of BC's system of protected areas. In conjunction with Banff National Park and Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Alberta, they form a large, contiguous protected area that is rich in natural, recreational and cultural values. Also, these parks are critical links in the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y)1. · The combined size of these two provincial parks contributes to the protection of biodiversity in the region and is integral to the conservation of wildlife populations, plant communities and biodiversity. · These parks offer a wide range of top caliber wilderness recreation opportunities and outstanding features.
