A CARTOGRAPHIC APPROACH You may wonder: how do I get from the unﬁnished map to the ﬁnished map? We like to approach this in a step-by-step method. This is a sensible way to proceed to help you get all the information you want shown on the map. It insures that the map is legible and neat. We always stress neatness to our students. We tell them that the map is not just for them, but for other people to see and read also. The following step-by-step method works well with all of our classroom maps. Try it with your students, and they will end up with a map they will be proud of! A Step-by-Step Guide to WESTERN CANADA To help you label and complete the maps in the CANADA CartoCraze unit, we have shown the activities for Western Canada broken down in the following series. This Step-by-step approach to the cartography of the maps can be applied to all the CartoCraze units. LABELING PLACES! Print neatly! For a good start, begin by labeling the Provinces: BRITISH COLUMBIA ALBERTA Next, label the capitals: Victoria Edmonton Add a few large cities: Calgary Vancouver Prince Rupert Add others, such as Medicine Hat You can also identify neighboring places, such as: UNITED STATES ALASKA Yukon Territory Northwest Territory Saskatchewan WATER AND MOUNTAINS Continue labeling and begin to color! For a good start, begin by labeling the bodies of water already on the map: PACIFIC OCEAN Lake Athabasca Fraser River North Saskatchewan River South Saskatchewan River Add other bodies of water, such as: Peace River Start adding color to the map. With a blue colored pencil: Shade coastlines Trace the rivers Color the lake Add some large mountain ranges to this map. Sketch the triangular shapes and add some green and brown color: Rocky Mountains Coast Mountains DECORATIVE DETAILS Add some artistic touches to your map! Add a MAP KEY, listing the symbols and colors used on the map. Design a Compass Rose. Label the cardinal and intermediate directions on the Compass rose Add some decoration to the map: Color the border Color the title Color the Compass Rose .

PAH Sediment Studies in Lake Athabasca and the Athabasca River Ecosystem Related to the Fort Mcmurray Oil Sands Operations: Sources and Trends

ISBN 1-85312-922-4 PAH sediment studies in Lake Athabasca and the Athabasca River ecosystem related to the Fort McMurray oil sands operations: sources and trends M, S, Evansl, B. Billeck2, L. Lockhart2, J. P, Bechtold3, M. B. Yunker4 &G. Stern2 ‘National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada, Canada. 2Freshwater Institute, Department ofFisheries and Oceans, Canada, 3Golder Associates Ltd, Canada 4Brentwood Bay, Canada Abstract The oil sands operations in northern Alberta are among the most modem in the world, However, because the operations are extensive and lie on either side of the Athabasca River, there are concerns that they will adversely affect downstream environments such as the Athabasca River, its tributaries, the Peace-Athabasca deltas and Lake Athabasca, Research and monitoring programs are now investigating hydrocarbon sources, fate, and time trends in these aquatic ecosystems. Natural hydrocarbon sources (oil sands) are numerous along the Athabasca River and its tributaries. Petrogenic hydrocarbons also are abundant in downstream lakes. Lower molecular weight compounds such as naphthalene and fluorene tend to increase in concentration ffom upstream sources to downstream depositional areas, There is little or no evidence of temporal trends of increasing PAH concentrations in sediment cores collected in Lake Athabasca and the Athabasca delta lakes, suggesting no or minimal impact from the oil sands operations, Some PAHs exceed interim sediment quality guidelines and some bioassay studies have shown evidence of toxicity, particularly in the Athabasca delta.

British Columbia Coastal Range and the Chilkotins
BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTAL RANGE AND THE CHILKOTINS The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are remote with limited accessibility by float plane, helicopter or boating up its deep inlets along the coast and hiking in. The mountains along British Columbia and SE Alaska intermix with the sea in a complex maze of fjords, with thousands of islands. It is a true wilderness where not exploited by logging and salmon farming pens. But there are some areas accessible from roads that can be explored, including west of Lillooet, the Chilcotins, and the Garibaldi Range. The Coast Mountains extend approximately 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) long from the southeastern boundaries are surrounded by the Fraser River and the Interior Plateau while its far northwestern edge is delimited by the Kelsall and Tatshenshini Rivers at the north end of the Alaska Panhandle, beyond which are the Saint Elias Mountains. The western mountain slopes are covered by dense temperate rainforest with heavily glaciated peaks and icefields that include Mt Waddington and Mt Silverthrone. Mount Waddington is the highest mountain of the Coast Mountains and the highest that lies entirely within British Columbia, located northeast of the head of Knight Inlet with an elevation of 4,019 metres (13,186 ft). The range along its eastern flanks tapers to the dry Interior Plateau and the boreal forests of the southern Chilkotins north to the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. The mountain range's name derives from its proximity to the sea coast, and it is often referred to as the Coast Range. The range includes volcanic and non-volcanic mountains and the extensive ice fields of the Pacific and Boundary Ranges, and the northern end of the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes.
