The Rocky Mountain Region Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 18 Chapter 2 The Rocky Mountain Region What makes the Rocky Mountain region a unique part of Alberta? My Dad works for the Canadian National Railway, and our family moved to Jasper because of his work. I think living in the Rocky Mountain region is like living in the middle of a silvery crown. In the Rocky Mountains, you can see snow on the mountain tops, even during the summer. My new friends at school pointed out a mountain called Roche Bonhomme (rosh boh num), a French phrase that means “good fellow rock.” It is also called Old Man Mountain. If you stand in Jasper and look up at the mountains in the northeast, you will see what looks like a sleeping man. Whenever I leave my house, I always look up at him and silently send him my greetings. On my birthday, I was given my own camera. I took the picture you see here and many others. This is a beautiful area in all four seasons. My photos tell part of Alberta’s story. I think you can really see the side view of the sleeping man’s face in this photo of Roche Bonhomme. 18 NEL Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 19 What I Want to Know… …About the Rocky Mountain Region The Rocky Mountain region begins at the southwestern border of Alberta. It is part of the Rocky Mountain chain. The mountains run northwest and southeast along the western side of North America. What do you value How can we about the Rocky describe geography?

NEL 19 Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 20 The Formation of the Mountains Scientists tell us the Rocky Mountains started to form about 120 million years ago. Two huge pieces of the Earth’s crust, called plates, slowly pushed against each other. Large islands the size of Alberta rode on one plate. These big islands pushed on the western edge of North America. The land was slowly squeezed. It moved about as fast as your fingernails grow. Land that was once beneath ancient seas was pushed upwards to the sky. Some slabs of rock broke and slid over others. In other places, the rock layers folded over. It took about 75 million years for the Rocky Mountains to form. 1 A big island rides on a North America is a plate moving east. plate moving west.

These were times when the Earth cooled. Glaciers, rivers of ice over one kilometre in depth, formed. The glaciers flowed out to the plains where they met up with thick sheets of ice blanketing the land. When the Earth got warmer, the glaciers retreated, or shrank back. The last ice age ended 12 000 years ago. Moving glaciers carved the land and smoothed the lower parts of the mountains. They left piles of rocks in their path. Pause The sign in this photo shows where the Athabasca Glacier reached in 1948. Today, the glacier is about two kilometres 1. Look at the photo. from the sign.

I used chart paper and photos to present part of our region’s story to my class. Rocky Mountain Landforms Landforms are the natural features of a landscape. Mountains are the highest landform. This is Mount Columbia, the Cypress Hills is highest mountain in Alberta. The photo was taken by a climbing a small pocket team in the summer. of the Rocky Mountain region found in southeastern Alberta. The climate and vegetation of Cypress Hills is similar to those of the Rocky Mountains. I saw some bighorn sheep in a valley. Valleys are low areas surrounded by hills or mountains. NEL 23 Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 24 Bodies of Water When a large amount of water collects in a location, it forms a body of water. Oceans, rivers and streams, and lakes are examples of bodies of water. The Rocky Mountain region has many mountain lakes, streams, and waterfalls. Many rivers that flow across western Canada start at the mountains. Water is also stored in the form of ice and snow. A glacier and an icefield are examples of this. The Columbia Icefield My parents took us for a drive to the area near the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. One guidebook says the icefield covers nearly 300 square kilometres and is 365 metres thick. That’s about 120 classrooms high! The Columbia Icefield is what remains of our last ice age. It is an important source of water in Alberta today. Its meltwater feeds our streams and rivers. Over many years, rapidly flowing water wears rock away. People from all over the world visit the Maligne Canyon and The Columbia Icefield is like a huge bowl of ice overflowing with waterfall in large glaciers. The glaciers flow into different valleys. Jasper National Park. 24 NEL Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 25 Alberta Rivers Much of Alberta’s water is stored and released by the Columbia Icefield. The meltwater feeds streams and rivers that eventually pour into the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. You can see the meltwater at the bottom of the photo that has come from the glacier at the top of the photo. Pause 1. Why do you think the Columbia Icefield is so important? NEL 25 Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 26 Climate Climate is the pattern of weather of a place over time. It includes temperature and precipitation. Precipitation is the amount of moisture that falls from the air, such as rain and snow. The Rocky Mountain region has the most snowfall and the coldest average temperatures in Alberta. High up in the mountains, from spring to fall, the average temperature is 6 degrees Celsius. Lower down, it is warmer, with an average of 12 degrees Celsius. On any given day, the weather can vary greatly. It can change from hour to hour or depending on how high up in the mountains you are. I have a story I call “My Wintry Summer Day.” One day last summer, my family took the tramway up The Whistlers, a mountain near Jasper. It was so hot at the tramway station, I took off my summer jacket. At the top, I put it right back on! The sun was shining, but the wind was cold. We saw patches of snow on the north side of the mountain. My brother and I raced up the steep trail. The wind kept getting stronger, and the higher we got, the colder it was. Mom came to the rescue with extra clothing for us. It can snow on any day of Pause the summer at the top of the mountains. 1. What is the difference between climate and weather?

  • Many Voices Combined-Grade Correlation Package
    Many Voices Combined-Grade Correlation Package Grade Three / Grade Four © 2006 Pearson Education Canada Inc. Teaching Combined Grades Linkages and Sequencing The materials in Many Voices reflect the following linkages and sequencing inherent in the Alberta Social Studies Program of Studies. These provide continuity that assists teachers in planning a combined-grades program. (Please see table below.) The following strategies reflect ways in which some teachers approach the teaching of Social Studies in a combined-grades classroom. Separate Programming • Use teaching assistants and parent volunteers whenever possible. • Use cross-grade “buddies” to assist with tasks. • Place independent extension activities for both grades at centres. • Partner with another teacher. Integrated Programming • Use peer modelling and cooperative learning. • Alternate programs (e.g., for a Grade 1–2 classroom, teach the Grade 1 program one year and use the Grade 2 program the following year). • Choose one grade’s program to use as the basic program and then modify up or down for the other grade. • Use the core concepts of citizenship and identity and the program strands as organizers, and integrate the content of each grade where possible. • Find some common strands or related outcomes and choose appropriate activities and support materials. See the related outcomes below as an example. • Examine the skills within each grade level. Combine the skills when planning instructional activities for both classes. This supports planning for Differentiated Instruction. For example, when presenting mini-lessons on a particular skill such as geographical thinking, highlight the outcomes in both grades to the entire class. Some students will be able to work at grade level and others will have the opportunity to work on this skill below or above grade level.

  • Bow Valley Food Alliance Association, PO Box 4605, Banff, AB T1L 1E8 [email protected]
    March 4, 2021 Attention: Mayor and Council Town of Canmore Re: Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment On behalf of the Bow Valley Food Alliance the Board of Directors is writing to express our opposition to the proposed Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment. We ask you to consider the negative impacts related to food that such a development will have on the community. The Bow Valley Food Alliance is a network of community members, agencies and food stakeholders committed to creating local food systems that are healthy, socially just, collaborative, diverse, and accessible. These systems are based in vibrant regional economies, respect for the earth and environment, reconciliation, intergenerational knowledge, system innovation and education. Our board includes representatives from health, indigenous relations, education and research, community development and local food producers. We have been in existence since 2016 and formalized as a society in 2020. Our work is grounded in the communities from Lake Louise to Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and supported by research. Over the past two and a half years we have facilitated community-based conversations and developed the attached Food Charter. A Food Charter is a set of principles outlined by a community that articulates what they want their food systems to look like, including how they grow, harvest, process, distribute, prepare, eat, and dispose of their food. In addition, we have recently conducted research in partnership with Dr. Lauren Kepkiewicz a post-doctoral researcher from the University of Calgary. This research project has collected and collated data both prior to and during COVID 19 related to residents’ food security.
