THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction. -

PREFACE In this admirable book the Rev. Dr. Maclean has done a piece of work of far-reaching significance. The Doctor is well fitted by training, experience, knowledge and sym- pathy to do this work and has done it in a manner which fully vindicates his claim to all these qualifications. Our beloved Canada is just emerging into a vigorous consciousness of nationhood and is showing herself worthy of the best ideals in her conception of what the hig'hest nationality really involves. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the young of this young nation thrilled with a new sense of power, and conscious of a new place in the activities of the world, should understand thoroughly those factors and forces which have so strikingly combined to give us our present place of prominence. -
Wetland Action Plan for British Columbia
Wetland Action Plan for British Columbia IAN BARNETT Ducks Unlimited Kamloops, 954 A Laval Crescent, Kamloops, BC, V2C 5P5, Canada, email [email protected] Abstract: In the fall of 2002, the Wetland Stewardship Partnership was formed to address the need for improved conservation of wetland ecosystems (including estuaries) in British Columbia. One of the first exercises undertaken by the Wetland Stewardship Partnership was the creation of a Wetland Action Plan. The Wetland Action Plan illustrates the extent of the province's wetlands, describes their value to British Columbians, assesses threats to wetlands, evaluates current conservation initiatives, and puts forth a set of specific actions and objectives to help mitigate wetland loss or degradation. It was determined that the most significant threats to wetlands usually come from urban expansion, industrial development, and agriculture. The Wetland Stewardship Partnership then examined which actions would most likely have the greatest positive influence on wetland conservation and restoration, and listed nine primary objectives, in order of priority, in a draft ‘Framework for Action’. Next, the partnership determined that meeting the first four of these objectives could be sufficient to provide meaningful and comprehensive wetland protection, and so, committed to working together towards enacting specific recommendations in relation to these objectives. These four priority objectives are as follows: (1) Work effectively with all levels of government to promote improved guidelines and stronger legislative frameworks to support wetlands conservation; (2) Provide practical information and recommendations on methods to reduce impacts to wetlands to urban, rural, and agricultural proponents who wish to undertake a development in a wetland area; (3) Improve the development and delivery of public education and stewardship programs that encourage conservation of wetlands, especially through partnerships; and (4) Conduct a conservation risk assessment to make the most current inventory information on the status of B.C. -

LAKE HURON LAKEWIDE ACTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 2017-2021 DISCLAIMER This document is an early draft of the Lake Huron Lakewide Action and Management Plan (LAMP) that has been released for public input. Under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the Governments of Canada and the United States have committed to develop five- year management plans for each of the Great Lakes. This draft Lake Huron LAMP was developed by member agencies of the Lake Huron Partnership, a group of Federal, State, Provincial, Tribal governments and watershed management agencies with environmental protection and natural resource management responsibilities within the Lake Huron watershed. Public input is being sought on the factual content of the report. Our goal is to produce a report that will introduce the reader to the Lake Huron watershed and the principles of water quality management, as well as describe actions that governmental agencies and the public can take to further restore and protect the water quality of Lake Huron. The Lake Huron Partnership looks forward to considering your feedback as we proceed into the final drafting stage. Disclaimer: Do not quote or cite the contents of this draft document. The material in this draft has not undergone full agency review, therefore the accuracy of the data and/or conclusions should not be assumed. The current contents of this document should not be considered to reflect a formal position or commitment on the part of any Lake Huron Partnership agency, including United States Environmental Protection Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada. LAKE HURON LAMP (2017-2021) │ DRAFT ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The ‘Draft’ 2017-2021 Lake Huron Lakewide Action and Management Plan (LAMP) was developed by member agencies of the Lake Huron Partnership and reflects the input of many resource management agencies, conservation authorities, scientists, and non-governmental organizations committed to restoring and protecting Lake Huron and its watershed. -
