This report to Alberta Environment attempts to determine whether there is a linkage between these activities and water quality in these three rivers and documents baseline water quality prior to the implementation of an access management plan by the Alberta Government. Water quality monitoring of these rivers was conducted by Alberta Environment during 2004 and 2005. Continuous measurements of turbidity (as a surrogate for total suspended solids), pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and temperature were taken in Waiparous Creek, upstream at the Black Rock Trail and downstream at the Department of National Defense base from early May to late July, 2004.

    A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. 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 ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially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.

    December 20, 2010 Using water reservations to protect the aesthetic values associated with water courses: a note on the Spray River (Banff) By Nigel Bankes Documents commented on:: Order in Council 546\49; South Saskatchewan Basin Water Allocation Regulation, Alta. Reg. 307/1991 (rescinded by Bow, Oldman and South Saskatchewan River Basin Water Allocation Order, Alta. Reg. 171/2007); Alberta Environment, TransAlta Utilities (TAU) licence for the Spray River development. I have been doing some work on Crown water reservations over the last few months and in the course of that came across an example of what at first glance seemed to be the use of a water reservation to preserve the aesthetic qualities of a watercourse. The example also has an interesting constitutional twist that is worth reflecting on. When Alberta was created in 1905 it took its place in confederation without the ownership or administration and control of its natural resources, including water. Canada (the Dominion) continued to manage lands and resources in the province for the benefit of the national interest. That included using Dominion lands to encourage immigration, but it also included the creation, maintenance and expansion of national parks to encourage tourism and to protect spectacular landscapes. With the transfer of the administration and control of natural resources from Canada to Alberta in 1930 it was necessary to deal with retained federal lands. These lands included Indian reserves (about which there has been a lot of litigation over the years) and national parks (which have seen less litigation). I wrote about the constitutional status of national parks a good number of years ago: "Constitutional Problems Related to the Creation and Administration of Canada's National Parks" in J.O.

    Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle May 2012 Presidential Musings Fellow Hikers: I am happy to report that our club membership has climbed well over the 100 mark again! Welcome to the "Newbies" and welcome back to the "Grizzled Veterans". Even though there have not been many trips out yet, hopefully you have been outdoors enjoying the summer-like weather ,stretching those unused winter bound muscles and generally getting back into the swing of summer. The month of June is the month we now get serious about hiking, unfortunately due to back issues I may not see anyone on the trails for a while. (I never did the stretches Ha Ha) . I will definitely be thinking of hiking to the top while I recover. Remember to let the trip leader know if you can't make a trip you have signed up for as there is always a waiting list of fresh eager folks wanting to go in your place. Enjoy the hikes while you’re out meeting new hikers, be wise and hike safely. ************************************* Next meeting Wednesday June 13, 7:30 at Kerry Wood Nature Center ************************************* "One does not climb to attain enlightenment, rather one climbs because he is enlightened." -- Zen Master Futomaki Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle Page 2 Crimson Lake Hike/Social Nicole’s Notes The first hike of the season this year was the 10 km Amerada Trail that loops around Crimson Lake.
