For Immediate Release Date: July 2014 Donation of Life Jackets During the Spring of 2014 – the Calgary and Edmonton Power For Immediate Release Date: July 2014 Donation of Life Jackets During the spring of 2014 – the Calgary and Edmonton Power and Sail Squadrons donated lifejackets to The Lifesaving Society Alberta and Northwest Territories, for their Lifejacket Loaner Station Programs in parks around Alberta. Boating is an essential part of life for millions of Canadians. According to the Canadian Safe Boating Council, 89 percent of recreational boaters who drown each and year across Canada were not wearing a lifejacket. Most of these drownings occur in small open power boats, accounting for 60 percent of these preventable deaths. A majority of these victims were males between the ages of 19 and 35, out for a day of fishing. An average of 140 unnecessary drownings occur every year. Many boaters who drown believe they are good swimmers, so they feel that having a lifejacket on board and within easy reach is good enough. Most drownings happen unexpectedly when small boats capsize or someone falls overboard! This is why the Edmonton and Calgary Power and Sail Squadrons have donated 40 lifejackets to The Lifesaving Society’s Lifejacket Loaner Station Program. ‘ … The Edmonton and Calgary Power and Sail Squadrons donated these lifejackets to help improve boating safety awareness in Alberta. We believe in the boating safety message: ‘Choose it. Use it. Wear a lifejacket.’ We strongly support this lifejacket Loaner Program initiative.’ Randy Woods, Commander, Edmonton Power & Sail Squadron The Lifejacket Loaner Stations, which are run by Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation staff, are kiosks where park visitors can borrow lifejackets, available in infant to adult sizes, at no cost and return them after use. It’s the law that all Canadian vessels are required to carry a Canadian approved flotation device or lifejacket of appropriate size for each person on board. Even paddle boats, canoes and stand-up paddle boards. Choose it. Use it. Wear a lifejacket. It won’t work if you don’t wear it. For more information visit: www.lifesaving.org. About Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons is a community of passionate boaters across Canada who are committed to safety, boating education, and having fun on the water. It is a national volunteer driven organization with a long-standing reputation for offering high-quality educational courses. With a 75 year history and a membership of over 26,000 in 155 Squadrons across the country, CPS has played a major role in boating culture in Canada and is the established leader for the training of recreational boaters. CPS works co-operatively with Transport Canada, Industry Canada, Fisheries and Oceans, The Lifesaving Society, Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary, and many other organizations involved in safe boating.

  • Touchwood Lake 2017—Photo by Elashia Young Fishing, and Boating
    Touchwood Lake 2017 ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S LAKEWATCH PROGRAM LakeWatch has several important objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. LakeWatch Reports are designed to summarize basic lake data in understandable terms for a lay audience and are not meant to be a complete synopsis of information about specific lakes. Additional information is available for many lakes that have been included in LakeWatch and readers requiring more information are encouraged to seek those sources. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeWatch program. These people prove that ecological apathy can be overcome and give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. ALMS is happy to discuss the results of this report with our stakeholders. If you would like information or a public presentation, contact us at [email protected]. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The LakeWatch program is made possible through the dedication of its volunteers. We would like to extend a special thanks to Molly Fyten for organizing volunteers and for the time and energy put into sampling Touchwood Lake in 2017. We would also like to thank Elashia Young and Melissa Risto who were summer technicians in 2017. Executive Director Bradley Peter and LakeWatch Coordinator Laura Redmond were instrumental in planning and organizing the field program.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

  • This Collaborative Workshop by Cows & Fish and the Alberta Low Impact
    From Street to Stream - this collaborative workshop by Cows & Fish and the Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership (ALIDP) explores how water quality, stormwater runoff, natural water storage and resiliency can be improved in developed areas. In this workshop series we look at low impact development, sound riparian restoration and management, and the importance of considering both upland and riparian areas as part of a whole system management approach. This workshop series is geared for the public, realtors, decision makers (planners, municipalities), green builders, and others interested in sustainability related to stormwater, greening, housing, and landscapes. 1 This workshop series builds on a Natural Capital workshop offered in 2010 by Cows and Fish for the Alberta Real Estate Foundation where we explored the Environmental Impacts on Real Estate Values & Marketing. 2 The primary sponsors for our current Street to Stream workshop include the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, The Calgary Foundation and The RBC Blue Water Project. Thank you also to our local sponsors and co-hosts for our six Street to Stream workshops conducted in Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Wetaskiwin and Lethbridge from February to April, 2015. 3 I am here today representing the Alberta Riparian Habitat Management Society or more commonly known as Cows and Fish. Cows and Fish is a charitable, non-profit society based in Alberta. For over 20 years, with the help of our members and supporters listed on this slide, we have been working with landowners and community groups across the province to promote and foster riparian stewardship. As our name suggests, we have our roots in tackling agricultural issues, but more and more we are also working with urban and lakeshore riparian stewardship groups.

  • Hydrology Study, Bow and Elbow River Updated Hydraulic Model Project, Rev
    March 2010 HYDROLOGY STUDY, BOW AND ELBOW RIVER UPDATED HYDRAULIC MODEL PROJECT, REV. A Submitted to: Alberta Environment REPORT Report Number: 09-1326-1040 HYDROLOGY STUDY, BOW AND ELBOW RIVER UPDATED HYDRAULIC MODEL PROJECT Executive Summary Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) was commissioned by Alberta Environment (AENV) to conduct a hydrology study for the “Bow and Elbow River Updated Hydraulic Model” project. The City of Calgary (the City), in partnership with Alberta Environment (AENV), plans to create a HEC-RAS (Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System) hydraulic model of the Bow and Elbow Rivers through the City. The model implementation is primarily for supporting emergency response planning and operations through flood inundation mapping. It will provide additional perspective on current flood hazard area management and will provide a basis for increased understanding of fish habitat, river morphology and erosion, water quality and storm water runoff impacts. The scope of work for the hydrology study included: 1) Generation of naturalized daily flow series at the major storage facilities on the Bow River above Bearspaw Dam and on the Elbow River at Glenmore Reservoir; 2) Estimation of naturalized and regulated 1:2 to 1:1,000 year flood flows based on flood frequency analysis of naturalized and/or recorded peak flow series at relevant locations along the Bow River and its tributaries (including the Elbow River); 3) Development of synthetic inflow flood hydrographs for tributaries to the Bow River with hydropower developments and at the Water Survey of Canada (WSC) Bow River at Banff station; 4) Routing of the synthetic flood hydrographs through all major storage reservoirs along the Bow River above Bearspaw Dam and through the Glenmore Reservoir; 5) Commentary on the effects of climate change and the impact of stormwater runoff on flood estimates as well as on the seasonality of flood peaks; and 6) Comparison of the new flood flow estimates with those of AENV’s 1983 Calgary Floodplain Study (the 1983 study).
