To the people, the leaders and the stakeholder groups of Fort Chipewyan for their sincere input and comments in the spirit of mutual cooperation and community unity, this profile, I trust, will truly do justice for your contribution. To the Suncor Inc., for your patience and understanding of the circumstances and situation under which this project was undertaken and completed.

  • Peace-Athabasca Delta Flood Ffistory

    Peace-Athabasca Delta Flood Ffistory

    Peace-Athabasca Delta Flood ffistory Sharon Thomson Historical Services, Prairie & Northern Region Documentary Information This research was undertaken in response to a request from Wood Buffalo National Park for information related to historic water levels on the Peace-Athabasca delta. Since 1967, when construction of the W.A. C. Bennett Dam was completed on the Peace River, water levels in both Lake Athabasca and on the delta have been low. This has allowed willow to encroach upon marshes that have historically been an important habitat for a variety of wildlife. For several years, WBNP has been examining solutions to this problem. Any reconstruction of past water levels requires an understanding of the frequency and extent of past flooding on the delta. Since water has historically been a crucial factor in transportation throughout the fur trade, it seemed probable that information on water levels would be present in daily journals kept at a number of Hudson's Bay Company trading posts Ln the vicinity of the delta. The bulk of information pertaining to Hudson's Bay Company posts is housed at the Hudson's Bay Archives in Winnipeg, and is comprised of post journals and accounts of fur returns. Information relevant to this study was derived from several different posts, with the bulk taken from daily journals kept at Fort Vermilion (covering the period 1826 to 1906) and Fort Chipewyan (covering the years 1803 to 1923). Supplementary infor.mation was obtained from post journals kept at Red River and Colvile House, from recorded fur returns for the Athabasca District, Governor George Simpson's Cortespondence Inward, and Annual District Reports.

    ARCHAEOLOGY IN ALBERTA, 1978 Compiled by J.M. Hillerud Archaeological Survey of Alberta Occasional Paper No. 14 ~~.... Prepared by: Published by: Archaeological Survey Alberta Culture of Alberta Historical Resources Division OCCASIONAL PAPERS Papers for publication in this series of monographs are produced by or for the four branches of the Historical Resources Division of Alberta Culture: the Provincial Archives of Alberta, the Provincial Museum of Alberta, the Historic Sites Service and the Archaeological Survey of Alberta. Those persons or institutions interested in particular subject sub-series may obtain publication lists from the appropriate branches, and may purchase copies of the publications from the following address: Alberta Culture The Bookshop Provincial Museum of Alberta 12845 - 102 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5N OM6 Phone (403) 452-2150 Objectives These Occasional Papers are designed to permit the rapid dissemination of information resulting from Historical Resources' programmes. They are intended primarily for interested specialists, rather than as popular publications for general readers. In the interests of making information available quickly to these specialists, normal production procedures have been abbreviated. i ABSTRACT In 1978, the Archaeological Survey of Alberta initiated and adminis­ tered a number of archaeological field and laboratory investigations dealing with a variety of archaeological problems in Alberta. The ma­ jority of these investigations were supported by Alberta Culture. Summary reports on 21 of these projects are presented herein. An additional four "shorter contributions" present syntheses of data, and the conclusions derived from them, on selected subjects of archaeo­ logical interest. The reports included in this volume emphasize those investigations which have produced new contributions to the body of archaeological knowledge in the province and progress reports of con­ tinuing programmes of investigations.

    FORT CHIPEWYAN AREA STRUCTURE PLAN www.rmwb.ca/ BylawBylaw No. No. 18/005, 18/005, May May 1, 20181, 2018 1 PURPOSE The Fort Chipewyan Area Structure Plan (ASP/the Plan) is prepared in accordance with section 633 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA) and aims to: • Guide future growth in a manner that is consistent with the Municipal Development Plan (MDP); • Establish policies that promote orderly and sustainable land uses in the area; and • Integrate existing and future infrastructure requirements with proposed generalized land uses. The Plan replaces the 1991 Fort Chipewyan Area Structure Plan (Ministerial Order #464/91) as the key policy document for the next 10 years. The Plan will be reviewed every five years to ensure it remains relevant. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Plan was developed by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (the Municipality) with input from residents and other stakeholders. The Municipality thanks all participants, including residents and representatives from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), Fort Chipewyan Métis Local #125 and Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN) for kindly giving their time and sharing their views on making Fort Chipewyan a better place to live, work and play. Bylaw No. 18/005, May 1, 2018 2 RECOGNITION OF INDIGENOUS RIGHTS The Municipality recognizes the existing rights of Indigenous Peoples to use their traditional lands. The implementation of the Fort Chipewyan ASP is not intended to and should not be interpreted as to abrogate or derogate from Indigenous Peoples’ rights to use lands within the Plan area for traditional and cultural purposes or any consultation duties that may arise in relation to those rights.
