Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an international distribution. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Technical reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in the data base Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts. Technical reports are produced regionally but are numbered nationally. Requests for individual reports will be filled by the issuing establishment listed on the front cover and title page.

  • Provincial Solidarities: a History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour
    provincial solidarities Working Canadians: Books from the cclh Series editors: Alvin Finkel and Greg Kealey The Canadian Committee on Labour History is Canada’s organization of historians and other scholars interested in the study of the lives and struggles of working people throughout Canada’s past. Since 1976, the cclh has published Labour / Le Travail, Canada’s pre-eminent scholarly journal of labour studies. It also publishes books, now in conjunction with AU Press, that focus on the history of Canada’s working people and their organizations. The emphasis in this series is on materials that are accessible to labour audiences as well as university audiences rather than simply on scholarly studies in the labour area. This includes documentary collections, oral histories, autobiographies, biographies, and provincial and local labour movement histories with a popular bent. series titles Champagne and Meatballs: Adventures of a Canadian Communist Bert Whyte, edited and with an introduction by Larry Hannant Working People in Alberta: A History Alvin Finkel, with contributions by Jason Foster, Winston Gereluk, Jennifer Kelly and Dan Cui, James Muir, Joan Schiebelbein, Jim Selby, and Eric Strikwerda Union Power: Solidarity and Struggle in Niagara Carmela Patrias and Larry Savage The Wages of Relief: Cities and the Unemployed in Prairie Canada, 1929–39 Eric Strikwerda Provincial Solidarities: A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour / Solidarités provinciales: Histoire de la Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Nouveau-Brunswick David Frank A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour david fra nk canadian committee on labour history Copyright © 2013 David Frank Published by AU Press, Athabasca University 1200, 10011 – 109 Street, Edmonton, ab t5j 3s8 isbn 978-1-927356-23-4 (print) 978-1-927356-24-1 (pdf) 978-1-927356-25-8 (epub) A volume in Working Canadians: Books from the cclh issn 1925-1831 (print) 1925-184x (digital) Cover and interior design by Natalie Olsen, Kisscut Design.

  • An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«Nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W
    FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES—1914 VOLUME vin An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W. F. GANONG. M.AHBb.E OTTAWA PRINTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 19 14 Transactions of The Royal Society of Canada SECTION II SERIES III DECEMBER 1914 VOL. VIII An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place- nomenclature of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, (Fourth Paper). By W. F. GANONG, M.A., Ph.D. (Read by Title May 27, 1914.) This paper is identical in aim and method with its three pre­ decessors, which were published in the immediately foregoing volumes of these Transactions. In a word, I am trying to apply the principles of scientific analysis to a very interesting subject especially prone to doubt and error. The comparative method which I use, explained in the introduction to the first paper, is proving wonderfully successful in solving the problems, as this paper will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former papers made analysis of the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, Manan, Nepisiguit, Kouchibouguac, Anagance, Wagan, Pokiok, Penniac, Bocabec, Pentagoet-Penobscot, Pohenegamook, and Cobs- cook, and used the roots thus made available in the analysis of a good many other words, both existent and extinct, of lesser importance. Of these extinct Indian names,—indigenous to the country, ap­ propriate to the places, and often reducible to a highly pleasing form, —the greater number may be revived to obvious advantage when additional place-names become needed in future; and I have tried to suggest simplified and softened forms for such purpose.

    YB299A ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE PETITCODIAC RIVER CAUSEWAY Submitted to: New Brunswick Department of Supply and Services Fredericton, New Brunswick Submitted by: AMEC Earth & Environmental, A Division of AMEC Americas Limited Fredericton, New Brunswick September 30, 2005 TE23520.4 NB Department of Supply and Services EIA Report Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway September 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background This document is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report for the Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway Project. The Petitcodiac River causeway (“causeway”) is a gated dam structure with an installed vertical slot fishway that was built across the Petitcodiac River between the City of Moncton and the Town of Riverview. Figure 1 shows the location of the Petitcodiac River and Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the causeway. Completed in 1968, the causeway was intended to create a second transportation link between the two communities, offer flood protection for farmland between the causeway and the head of tide at Salisbury, and create a freshwater headpond with potential for recreation and as an industrial water source. A bridge would have achieved the transportation objective, but not the other benefits. As early as 1961, it was recognized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (“DFO”) that fish passage would be an issue if a causeway was built across the Petitcodiac River. Consequently, DFO required that a fishway be included in the structure. However, the construction of the causeway with the fishway resulted in fish passage issues from the outset. The fishway proved ineffective for all fish species that require passage for life cycle purposes, including the Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon that is now also protected under the Species at Risk Act because of declining numbers.
