There is no toil, no heart breaking labour about it, but as much coolness, dexteri­ ty, and skill as man can throw into the work of hand, eye and head; knowledge of when to strike and how to do it, knowledge of water and rock, and of the one hundred combinations which rock and water can assume - for these two things, rock and water, taken in the abstract, fail as completely to convey any idea of their fierce embracings in the throes of a rapid as the fire burning quietly in a drawing-room fireplace fails to convey the idea of a house wrapped and sheeted in flames.

  • Les Amis De La Rivière Kipawa a Brief History of Modern Commercial and Recreational Navigation on the Laniel-To Lake-Temiscamin
    Les Amis de la Rivière Kipawa A Brief History of Modern Commercial and Recreational Navigation on the Laniel-to Lake-Temiscaming Section of the Kipawa River in Northwest Quebec March 2005 Background: This document is presented as a brief summary of the recent history of the recreational and commercial navigation history of the lower section of the Kipawa River from the village of Laniel on Lake Kipawa to the mouth of the river on Lake Temiscaming. The 2003 Edition of “Whitewater Paddling”, a publication of the internationally renowned Canoe & Kayak Magazine, recently listed the Kipawa River among North America’s top whitewater rivers. This section of the Kipawa River is approximately 16 km long, with numerous rapids and a two-stage (30 m) waterfall. The river was used by the logging industry for log drives from 1855 until the 1960s (Sorensen, 1999). In 1910 a flood control dam was constructed at the mouth of the river where the Village of Laniel is now located. Modern Commercial and Recreational Navigation (1968 – Present) To understand the modern history of commercial and recreational white water use of the Kipawa River, you need to see it in the context of the development of this activity in North America. In the mid-1960s, white water paddling for recreation was in its infancy. Intrepid paddlers were running first-descents of rivers all over North America, and the commercial white water rafting industry was establishing and growing on rivers in the western United States and on the Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle Pennsylvania. It was at this time, when white water paddling was in its early development stages as a commercial and recreational activity, that the Kipawa River was first run by recreational paddlers.

Col. John By, Royal Engineers; Royal Engineers Museum of Military Engineering Gillingham, U.K. If ever a man deserved to be immortalized in this utilitarian age, it was Lieutenant Colonel By. In an unexplored part of the country, where the only mode of progress was the frail Indian canoe, with a department to be organized, workmen to be instructed and many difficulties to overcome, he constructed a truly remarkable work. (Captain Richard Bonnycastle of the Royal Engineers, London, 1842) RIDEAU CANAL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OF CANADA Management Plan Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas represent the soul of our country. They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of beauty and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. We see a future in which each of the national historic sites of Canada, whether federally owned or not, enjoys sound commemorative health, and in which our system of sites evolves as our country evolves. Our national historic sites will be places for all Canadians to experience and learn from. They will help our communities to be vibrant and creative, and contribute to our efforts to revitalize Canada’s cities.

  • Characterizing the Flow Regime in Brook Trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis) Incubation Habitats and the Implications for Management in a Hydro-Regulated River
    Characterizing the flow regime in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) incubation habitats and the implications for management in a hydro-regulated river by Stephen Slongo A Master’s thesis presented in Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Forestry Faculty of Natural Resources Management Lakehead University Thunder Bay, Ontario January 2018 1 Abstract Hydropower accounts for more than one third of Ontario Power Generation’s electrical production. Hydroelectric development often occurs on rivers that also support recreational fisheries. The construction and operation of dams, diversions and generating facilities unavoidably influence the ecological function of rivers. The Aguasabon River is a northern Canadian Shield river with major developments for water diversion, storage, and power generation. This river offers opportunity to examine the importance of vertical flows through the substrate at a Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) spawning area. The vertical and horizontal hydraulic gradients and subsequent water temperature changes are the subject of this study. Piezometers were used to monitor the river and subsurface water levels near Brook Trout redds during the spawning and incubation period under normal and increasing discharge conditions. The Brook Trout spawning area in the Aguasabon River experienced upwelling conditions for the entire monitoring period (Oct 28th, 2016 – Jan 13th, 2017) before water release at the Long Lake Control Dam (LLCD). Hyporheic temperatures declined gradually, remaining >3.7 °C. The river temperature in the winter before water release was 1.5 °C. Rapid increase in water level after discharge from above the LLCD resulted in the reversal of flow in the hyporheic zone.

  • What Was the Iroquois Confederacy?
    04 AB6 Ch 4.11 4/2/08 11:22 AM Page 82 What was the 4 Iroquois Confederacy? Chapter Focus Questions •What was the social structure of Iroquois society? •What opportunities did people have to participate in decision making? •What were the ideas behind the government of the Iroquois Confederacy? The last chapter explored the government of ancient Athens. This chapter explores another government with deep roots in history: the Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois Confederacy formed hundreds of years ago in North America — long before Europeans first arrived here. The structure and principles of its government influenced the government that the United States eventually established. The Confederacy united five, and later six, separate nations. It had clear rules and procedures for making decisions through representatives and consensus. It reflected respect for diversity and a belief in the equality of people. Pause The image on the side of this page represents the Iroquois Confederacy and its five original member nations. It is a symbol as old as the Confederacy itself. Why do you think this symbol is still honoured in Iroquois society? 82 04 AB6 Ch 4.11 4/2/08 11:22 AM Page 83 What are we learning in this chapter? Iroquois versus Haudenosaunee This chapter explores the social structure of Iroquois There are two names for society, which showed particular respect for women and the Iroquois people today: for people of other cultures. Iroquois (ear-o-kwa) and Haudenosaunee It also explores the structure and processes of Iroquois (how-den-o-show-nee). government.

  • Transforming the Grand River
    The WCA thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support of this TRANSFORMING ‘War of 1812’ Bicentennial commemorative project. THE GRAND RIVER eography matters. In many ways, the Grand River has determined the course of history for Canada. The geography attracted Aboriginal peoples at the close of the last ice age, and led Gto the emergence of vibrant and complex agrarian aboriginal nations. Following European colonization, the region became strategically important and figured heavily in the various events that shaped modern North America. The early settlements that located along the Grand River Watershed have today become some of Ontario’s major cities and commercial centres. The region’s excellent waterways and the river’s natural capacity to provide power to operate heavy machinery made it an ideal place to locate the centres that would later provide the industrial infrastructure of the Province of Ontario, and serve as a major driver of the Canadian economy.

  • Outlook for Break-Up of Ice on the St.Lawrence Seaway & Lake Erie Issued by the Canadian Ice Service
    OUTLOOK FOR BREAK-UP OF ICE ON THE ST.LAWRENCE SEAWAY & LAKE ERIE ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN ICE SERVICE Issued by Canadian Ice Service of Environment and Climate Change Canada Prepared for The Saint-Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation 2 February 2021 CURRENT CONDITIONS Average temperatures over Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the Seaway have been well above normal values consistently since the start of the ice season in early November until near the end of January. At the end of January, temperatures were near to below normal. The highest temperature anomalies occurred in the second half of December and first half of January. The table below indicates the departure from normal temperatures at specific locations, on a bi- weekly basis, for the period from mid-November to the end of January: November December January 16 Nov. – 16-30 31 Jan 01-15 16-31 01-15 16-31 Montreal +2.0 ºC +4.0ºC +4.1ºC +6.8ºC +0.9ºC +3.6ºC Kingston +2.8ºC +2.3ºC +3.2ºC +5.4ºC +1.0ºC +2.9ºC Windsor +1.5ºC +1.3ºC +2.0ºC +4.3ºC +1.4ºC +2.2ºC Table 1: Departure from normal temperatures With the warm conditions experienced through November across the southern Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario), no ice formed in November. The first ice was recorded on December 16th in the Bay of Quinte and in sheltered bays in eastern Lake Ontario, which was a week earlier than normal. In Lake Erie, the first ice was seen a week and a half later, on December 26th, in line with climatology.
