    Navigated Waters in Alberta

    NAVIGATED WATERS IN ALBERTA Submitted to Alberta Transportation Prepared by Mei Environmental Consulting February 2014 Summary In response to changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, Alberta Transportation is developing a map of rivers and streams in Alberta used for boating. Boating guides, similar publications and related web sites were examined to develop an initial map of waterways used by boaters including an assessment of the nature and level of use. These were then supplemented by consultation with knowledgeable groups and individuals and a table documenting the results produced. This will be used to develop an updated map of navigated waters. Table of Contents Objectives………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1 Methods…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1 Discussion………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………3 Appendix A……………………………………………………………………………………………List of References and Web Sites Appendix B…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....Contact Lists Appendix C………………………………………………………………………………………………..Table of Navigated Waterways Appendix D……………………………………………………………………………………………..Table of Unclassified Waterways Objectives In December 2012 the Parliament of Canada passed the Jobs and Growth Act (2012). The act included changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, including renaming it to the Navigation Protection Act. The amendments change the focus of the act from waterways with the potential to be navigated to waterways that are navigated. With the changes, works such as bridges will only require approval under the act for waterways identified in a schedule. While approvals are not required for other waterways, the right to navigate remains and it is incumbent upon those constructing, maintaining, or repairing works within waterways to assess public use of the waterway and to address that use appropriately. The purpose of this study was to identify rivers and streams used by boaters in Alberta.

  • Grant Morrison

    Grant Morrison

    GRANT MORRISON When Grant Morrison took the stage at the Disinfo.Con event, even though it was only 4:30 in the afternoon when the lights went down, it could've been midnight inside the Hammerstein Ballroom. Grant's drunken but enthralling speech began with a scream, a slosh of his beer as he climbed the podium and an admission that he'd just taken drugs and would be flying high by the half hour mark —"So watch for it!" It was pure punk rock theatrics filled with sublime moments —such as Morrison explaining how to work magick spells to all assembled! — and it was certainly one of the event's highlights. The guy was on fire and he looked spectacularly cool up there in his black leather jacket, Donna Karan suit and his shiny, bald pate, just like a white "Shaft." From what I gather, many of the audience didn't know who Morrison was when they arrived, but after that bravura performance, they sure as hell knew who he was when they walked out!' God, where do you start when you're trying to describe a character like Grant Morrison? The most obvious place to start is that Morrison is Scottish. Make that thickly Scottish; born and bred in Glasgow with an accent so strong you'd think he was French! He's also in a select group of contemporary writers who'd be on a Mount Rushmore of comics if such a thing were to exist, alongside Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and Alan Moore, writers comics fans still read rather than just store in plastic bags.
