    Ecoregions with Grasslands in British Columbia, the Yukon, and Southern Ontario

    83 Chapter 4 Ecoregions with Grasslands in British Columbia, the Yukon, and Southern Ontario Joseph D. Shorthouse Department of Biology, Laurentian University Sudbury, Ontario, Canada P3E 2C6 Abstract. The second largest grasslands of Canada are found in south-central British Columbia in valleys between mountain ranges and on arid mountain-side steppes or benchlands. The province contains five ecozones, with most of the grassland habitat in the Montane Cordillera Ecozone. This ecozone consists of a series of plateaux and low mountain ranges and comprises 17 ecoregions, 7 of which contain grasslands. Dominant grasses here are bunchgrasses. A few scattered grasslands are found in the Yukon in the Boreal Cordillera Ecozone within three ecoregions. Grasslands in southwestern Ontario consist of about 100 small remnants of what was once much more abundant tallgrass prairie. These grasslands grow in association with widely spaced deciduous trees and are remnants of a past prairie peninsula. Grasslands called alvars are also found on flat limestone bedrock in southern Ontario. This chapter briefly describes the physiography, climate, soils, and prominent flora of each ecoregion for the benefit of future biologists wishing to study the biota of these unique grasslands. Résumé. Les prairies du centre-sud de la Colombie-Britannique sont les deuxièmes plus vastes au Canada. Elles se trouvent dans les vallées séparant les chaînes de montagnes, et sur les steppes ou replats arides à flanc de montagne. La province renferme cinq écozones, et l’habitat de prairies se trouve principalement dans l’écozone de la cordillère alpestre. Cette écozone est constituée d’une série de plateaux et de chaînes de montagnes basses et se divise en 17 écorégions, dont 7 renferment des prairies.

HARPER CREEK MINE Prepared by SFN Sustainable resources Department August 30, 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Research Team would like to thank the Simpcw First Nation (SFN), its elders, members, and leadership For the trust you’ve placed in us. We recognize all community members who contributed their knowledge oF their history, culture and territory to this work. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The report has been the product oF a collaborative eFFort by members oF the research team and as such is presented in more than one voice. The Simpcw First Nation Traditional Land Use and Ecological Knowledge Study presents evidence oF Simpcw First Nation (SFN) current and past uses oF an area subject to the development oF the Harper Creek Mine by Yellowhead Mining, Inc. The report asserts that the Simpcw hold aboriginal title and rights in their traditional territory, including the land on which the Harper Creek Mine is proposed. This is supported by the identiFication oF one hundred and Four (104) traditional use locations in the regional study area (Simpcwul’ecw; Simpcw territory) and twenty (20) sites in the local study area. The traditional use sites identiFied, described, and mapped during this study conFirm Simpcw connections to the area where the Harper Creek Mine is proposed. These sites include Food harvesting locations like hunting places, Fishing spots, and plant gathering locations.

    1 SIMPCW “People of the North Thompson River” The Simpcw are a Culturally Proud Community Valuing Healthy, Holistic Lifestyles based upon Respect, Responsibility and Continuous Participation in Growth and Education Since time immemorial the Simpcw occupied the lands of the North Thompson River upstream from McLure to the headwaters of the Fraser River from McBride to Tete Jeune Cache, east to Jasper and south to the headwaters of the Athabasca River. The Simpcw are a division of the Secwepemc, or Shuswap. The Simpcw speak the Secwepemc dialect, a SalishanSalis language, shared among many of the First Nations in the FraserFr and Thompson River drainage. The Simpcw traveled throughoutthrou the spring, summer and fall, gathering food and materialsmate which sustained them through the winter. During the winterwin months they assembled at village sites, in the valleys close to rivers, occupying semi-underground houses. Archaeological studiesst have identifi ed winter home sites and underground foodfo cache sites at a variety of locations including Finn Creek, Vavenby,V Birch Island, Chu Chua, Barriere River, Louis Creek, Tete Jeune, Raush River, Jasper National Park and Robson Park. Simpcw peoplepe value their positive relationships with non-native people in thethe NorthNorth ThompsonThomp and Robson Valleys. They also recognize that their key strength lies in maintaining links to their traditional heritage and look forward to securing a place for their children in contemporary society that they can embrace with pride. The Simpcw culture is community driven for the management, conservation and protection of all the Creator’s resources. Box 220, Barriere, B.C.

    Landforms of British Columbia 1976

    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.
