Bird Sanctuary Management Plan.Pdf 01 May 2018 Nunavut Wildlife Management Board 3rd Floor Allavik Building P.O. Box 1379 Iqaluit, NU X0A 0H0 Email: [email protected] Pertaining to NWMB’s Regular Meeting No. RM 002-2018: Final Draft Management Plan for the Ahiak Migratory Bird Sanctuary for Consideration by the NWMB for Approval The Ahiak (Queen Maud Gulf) Migratory Bird Sanctuary, located between Umingmaktok, Cambridge Bay and Gjoa Haven in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, was created in 1961. Through the Nunavut Agreement, an Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement for National Wildlife Areas and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in the Nunavut Settlement Area (IIBA) was signed by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the three Regional Inuit Associations (Kitikmeot Inuit Association, Kivalliq Inuit Association and Qikiqtani Inuit Association) and the federal Minister of the Environment, Environment and Climate Change Canada (signed first in 2006 and renegotiated in 2016). This IIBA created co-management committees for these protected areas in Nunavut (IIBA Article 3). The Ahiak Migratory Bird Sanctuary is co-managed by Inuit (from Umingmaktok, Cambridge Bay and Gjoa Haven) and the Canadian Wildlife Service (a part of Environment and Climate Change Canada) through the Ahiak Area Co-Management Committee. Part of the mandate of the Ahiak Area Co-Management Committee is to develop a Management Plan for the Ahiak Migratory Bird Sanctuary (IIBA s. 3.2.3(b) and s. 3.5). The Ahiak Area Co- Management Committee completed a draft Management Plan and consulted with the associated communities and other interested parties on the draft (IIBA s. 3.5). As per the IIBA, 3.6.1 The ACMCs [Area Co-Management Committees] shall recommend completed Management Plans to the NWMB [Nunavut Wildlife Management Board] for approval in accordance with sections 5.2.34(c) and 5.3.16 of the NLCA [Nunavut Agreement]. 3.6.3 If, in accordance with the decision-making process set forth in subsection 5.2.34(c) and sections 5.3.17 through 5.3.23 of the NLCA, the NWMB or the Minister rejects, in whole or part, a completed Management Plan and the Plan is returned to an ACMC for reconsideration, the relevant ACMC shall re-consider the Plan and re-submit it to the NWMB. 1 The Ahiak Area Co-Management committee hereby recommends to the NWMB for approval the attached Final Draft Management Plan for the Ahiak Migratory Bird Sanctuary, in accordance with the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board’s decision-making role for Conservation Area management plans.

  • Lesser Snow Goose EN
    Introduction This bird • has evolved a strong serrated bill and tongue to cut and tear the roots of bulrushes and sedges • often has a rusty orange face, because its feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the bird feeds • is probably the most abundant goose in Canada • unlike most other waterfowl, usually nests in large colonies with densities of up to 2 000 pairs per square kilometre Description The Lesser Snow Goose Chen caerulescens caerulescens has two different appearances, white phase and blue phase. The plumage of white-phase geese is almost completely white, except for black wing tips. The blue-phase goose has a white head, a bluish colour on the feathers of the lower back and flanks, and a body that ranges in colour from very pale, almost white, to very dark. Both the white- and blue-phase snow geese frequently have rusty orange faces, because their feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the birds feed. The downy goslings of the white-phase geese are yellow, those of the blue phase nearly black. By two months of age the young birds of both colour phases are grey with black wing tips, although the immature blue-phase birds are generally a darker grey and have some light feathers on the chin and throat, which can become stained like those of the adults. The goslings have mostly lost their grey coloring by the following spring; in April and May they may only show a few flecks of darker coloring on their head and neck, and a few grey feathers on their wings that distinguish them from adults.

    Conservation Assessment of Marbled Murrelets in British Columbia, A Review of the Biology, Populations, Habitat Associations and Conservation Alan E. Burger Pacific and Yukon Region 2002 Canadian Wildlife Service Environmental Conservation Branch Technical Report Series Number 387 Environment Environnement Canada Canada Canadian Wildlife Service Canadien qwewrt Service de la faune TECHNICAL REPORT SERIES CANADIAN WILDLIFE SERVICE This series of reports, established in 1986, contains technical and scientific information from projects of the Canadian Wildlife Service. The reports are intended to make available material that either is of interest to a limited audience or is too extensive to be accommodated in scientific journals or in existing CWS series. Demand for these Technical Reports is usually confined to specialists in the fields concerned. Consequently, they are produced regionally and in small quantities; they can be obtained only from the address given on the back of the title page. However, they are numbered nationally. The recommended citation appears on the title page. Technical Reports are available in CWS libraries and are listed in the catalogue of the National Library of Canada in scientific libraries across Canada. They are printed in the official language chosen by the author to meet the language preference of the likely audience, with a résumé in the second official language. To determine whether there is significant demand for making the reports available in the second official language, CWS invites users to specify their official language preference. Requests for Technical Reports in the second official language should be sent to the address on the back of the title page. SÉRIE DE RAPPORTS TECHNIQUES DU SERVICE CANADIEN DE LA FAUNE Cette série de rapports donnant des informations scientifiques et techniques sur les projets du Service canadien de la faune (SCF) a démarré en 1986.

  • Abandonment and Restoration Plan for Karrak Lake Research Station and F-14 Satellite Camp, Nunavut
    Abandonment and Restoration Plan for Karrak Lake Research Station, F-14 Satellite Camp (Karrak River Camp), and Perry River Camp, Nunavut January 2015 This amended Abandonment and Restoration Plan is in effect as of 1 May 2015. It applies specifically to lands under administration of Environment Canada, located at: Karrak Lake Research Station: 67º 14’ 14” N and 100º 15’ 33” W F-14 Satellite Camp: 67º 21’ 09” N and 100º 20’ 59” W Perry River Camp: 67º 41’ 41” N and 102º 11’ 27” W Final Restoration The final restoration at both of the above-mentioned locations will commence once research programs are complete. All work under this plan will be complete prior to the date of expiry of all water licenses, land use, and sanctuary entrance permits. Photos of restored areas will be taken. The details of restoration are as follows: Fuel cache: All fuels (jet a, gasoline, naphtha, lubricating oils and fluids) and empty drums will be removed from the site. Contaminated soil, if present, will be handled as stated in the Spill Contingency Plan. Buildings: All buildings on sites are constructed of lumber, and will be combusted. Open burning is currently not permitted as per Land Use Permit N2014N0021 or Water License 3BC-KAR1316, but as per discussions with Sean Joseph (NWB) and Eva Paul (AANDC) in November-December 2014, we will request permission for open burning of painted lumber for a specified period upon abandonment of sites. Chemicals, metals, and other non-combustible materials: All chemicals such as paints, adhesives, etc., of which there is very little, will be removed from the site.

The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.

  • 198 13. Repulse Bay. This Is an Important Summer Area for Seals
    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.

    Chapter 13 The Muskrats of North America Other Than Ondatra zibethicus zibethicus THE FIFTEEN RECOGNIZED FORMS of muskrats having North American ranges outside of the range of 0. z. zibethicus show many differences as to population status, habitats, and geographical distribution. Of these other muskrats, 0. z. cinnamominus - the subspecies with which, next to zibethicus, I have had the most experience - can be notable for its low densities over tremendous areas of the arid and semiarid Great Plains; it may hardly be represented at all for stretches of hundreds of miles, yet seldom does it fail nominally to hold essentially its regular range, and it often reaches typical muskrat abundance m suitable marsh or stream habitats. "\\!estward from the range of cinnamominus extend the ranges of the evidently closely related mergens, occipitalis, and osoyoosensis. The one of these having the smallest range, occipitalis, &hows some behavior differences, whereas the widely distributed osoyoosensis is probably as versatile with respect to habitats and climate as any musk­ rat subspecies, including zibethicus. It is true that zibethicus in northern Ontario and osoyoosensis at high altitudes in western United States illustrate muskrat adaptability to long cold winters and marginal habitats as well as do any of what may be called the true northern muskrats - obscurus, aquilonius, a/bus, zalophus, and spatulatus. Nevertheless, much may still be learned from this latter group about what constitutes habitability of northern muskrat range and what muskrats can there endure in the way of edge-of-range phenomena. The subspecies macrodon, rivalicius, ripensis, bernardi, goldmani, and pallidus are all natives of warm climates and all have restricted geographic ranges.

  • Coppermine River Nomination Document
    Coppermine River Nomination Document Government of Nunavut Parks and Tourism Division Department of Sustainable Development Coppermine River, Nunavut Nomination Document Parks and Tourism Division Department of Sustainable Development Community of Kugluktuk 1 2 Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System has been established by federal, provincial and territorial governments to recognize Canada’s outstanding rivers, and to ensure future management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for long-term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. To qualify for inclusion in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System a river or a section of river must be of outstanding significance in one or more area; human heritage, natural heritage or recreational values. The nominated section should also be large enough to encompass these values and to provide the user with an appreciation of the river’s resources, as well as an enjoyable recreational experience. The responsibility for the collection and analysis of information to determine heritage values and for subsequent nomination of the river rests with the particular government within whose jurisdiction the nominated river lies. The Canadian Heritage Rivers Board, composed of federal, provincial and territorial repre- sentatives, will examine each nomination document and advise the Minister responsible for Parks Canada and the Minister(s) of the nominating agency (ies) on the suitability of the nominated river for inclusion within the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. When consider- ing a river, the Board will determine the degree to which the nominated river satisfies the “Guidelines for the selection of Canadian Heritage Rivers”. The Board will consider both the river and its surrounding landscape which together capture the heritage values.
