  • Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’S Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report
    Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’s Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Water Quality Section Outlet of Sauder Reservoir January 2018 Introduction and Summary The Government of Alberta (GOA) is committed to protecting the province against aquatic invasive species (AIS), due to their negative ecological and economic effects. Invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) are of prominent concern, as these dreissenid mussels attach to any solid submerged surface and rapidly multiply due to their high reproductive rates. They are also very difficult to contain and eradicate once established. Additionally, they are spreading closer to Alberta’s borders. Alberta’s irrigation industry contributes $3.6 billion to the provincial gross domestic product (GDP). Specifically, it contributes about 20% of the provincial agri-food sector GDP on 4.7% of the province’s cultivated land base (Paterson Earth & Water Consulting 2015). Alberta’s irrigation industry includes thirteen irrigation districts that supply water to more than 570,000 ha of farmland through infrastructure valued at $3.6 billion. This infrastructure includes 57 irrigation reservoirs along with 3,491 km of canals and 4,102 km of pipelines (ARD 2014; AF 2017). The irrigation conveyance system provides water to irrigators, municipalities, industries, and wetlands, while the reservoirs support recreational activities such as boating and fishing and provide habitat to fish and waterfowl. Invasive mussels are a concern to the irrigation industry as infestations will have a significant negative effect on water infrastructure and conveyance works due to their ability to completely clog pipelines and damage raw-water treatment systems and intakes.

    Date: 20180809 Docket: T-762-15 Citation: 2018 FC 822 Vancouver, British Columbia, August 9, 2018 PRESENT: The Honourable Madam Justice Roussel BETWEEN: CLIFFORD RAY CARDINAL Applicant And BIGSTONE CREE NATION, BIGSTONE CREE NATION COUNCIL, CHIEF GORDON T. AUGER, COUNCILLOR CLARA MOBERLY, COUNCILLOR BERT ALOOK, COUNCILLOR EDWARD BIGSTONE, COUNCILLOR JOSIE AUGER, COUNCILLOR STELLA NOSKIYE, COUNCILLOR ART BIGSTONE, COUNCILLOR FREDA ALOOK, COUNCILLOR IVAN ALOOK Respondents JUDGMENT AND REASONS I. Overview [1] The Applicant seeks judicial review of a decision made on March 24, 2015 by the Chief and Council of the Bigstone Cree Nation [BCN], removing him from his position as BCN Page: 2 Councillor for failing to comply with the residency requirements set out in the BCN Election Code. Under its terms, the Chief and Councillors are required to assume residency on the reserve for which they were elected within three (3) months of their election and to remain “permanently resident” there throughout their term of office. [2] The Applicant contends that the process by which he was removed from office was procedurally unfair and contravened the principles of natural justice. He also alleges that the residency requirement provisions in the BCN Election Code infringe his equality rights under subsection 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Part 1 of the Constitution Act, 1982, being Schedule B to the Canada Act 1982 (UK), 1982, c 11 [Charter]. [3] The Respondents argue that the Applicant was afforded procedural fairness as he was given ample notice and opportunity to comply with the residency requirements prescribed by the BCN Election Code.
