Box 1000, Station M, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P4K5. Return of the Ouananiche to Trout Lake, Near North Bay. ABSTRACT. Due to stockings beginning in 1935, an ouananiche population in Trout Lake became the only known self-perpetuating Atlantic salmon population in Ontario. The only documented spawning area in the lower reaches of Four Mile Creek was designated as a fish sanctuary in 1958. A train derailment spill of zinc concentrate in 1967 resulted in the extirpation of the ouananiche population by 1976. After spill site remediation in the early 1980s, zinc concentrations in the creek had declined substantially. A restocking program for Atlantic salmon was initiated in 1989. Increased zinc concentrations above background in sediment cores collected in 1994 from Trout Lake reflected loadings from the spill site.

  • Laurentian Escarpment Conservation Area Trails Map Points of Interest
    Points of Interest Laurentian Escarpment Conservation Area Trails Map Historic Ski Jump In 1935, the escarpment saw the construction of a 52.5 foot giant ski jump by Laurentian Ski Club volunteers. Skiers had used this hill on the McLeod family farm since 1929. Ski Club Road was a dirt road, closed to traffic in the winter. Early skiers had to first cross-country ski from town to reach the hill, then trek up the hill on foot to School make their runs.

  • ONTARIO, CANADA Truly Northern Experiences for Over 100 Years
    OFFICIAL VISITORS’ GUIDE ONTARIO, CANADA Truly northern experiences for over 100 years. Aanin / Hello: On behalf of the Nipissing First Nation Council and community, I would like to welcome you to our traditional territory. The Nipissing (or Nbisiing) people have lived in the area of Lake Nipissing since time immemorial. Nbisiing means “little water” and was likely a comparison to the larger Great Lakes to the west and south. Historically, the Nipissings were traders due to Lake Nipissing’s ideal central location at the junction of the trade routes. Today, Nipissing First Nation is a progressive, culturally strong and self-governing Nation with a diverse economy. We remain proud stewards of our lands and waters, and hope you enjoy exploring the beautiful surroundings during your stay. Bi-biingeyok maa Nbisiing / Welcome to Nipissing First Nation. Chief Scott McLeod On behalf of myself, North Bay City Councillors and the citizens, I would like to welcome you to the city of North Bay. It is our hope that you will find our city a beautiful and relaxing place to visit; that you make new friends and memories; and, that you avail yourself of the amenities it has to offer. We are delighted that you will be spending time in the city of North Bay and, whether it be business or pleasure, we hope that you take some time from your scheduled plans to enjoy the City’s pleasant sights and Northern hospitality. We hope you enjoy your stay and we look forward to having you visit us again soon! Yours In Hospitality, Al McDonald Mayor, City of North Bay By land or air, North Bay couldn’t be more accessible.

  • Chapter 6.0 North
    North Bay-Mattawa Source Protection Area –Assessment Report as approved Feb 10, 2015 6.0 North Bay 6.1 Introduction & Summary of Findings This Section includes analyses of vulnerability with respect to both water quantity and water quality for the surface water intake for the City of North Bay. General methodology for water quality vulnerability assessments for surface water systems is described in Section 3 of this report. The information specific to water quality vulnerability in this Section is based primarily on the Surface Water Vulnerability and Threats Assessment for Drinking Water Source Protection for the City of North Bay, 2010a, prepared by AECOM Canada, and includes the following: intake characterization (including water treatment plant and raw water quality); intake protection zone (IPZ) delineations; uncertainty analysis of IPZ delineations and vulnerability scores; drinking water issues evaluation; threat identification and assessment; and gap analysis and recommendations The primary purpose is to identify existing and potential activities that could negatively impact the quality of drinking water. To that end, the conclusions must summarize all circumstances that could pose either chemical or pathogenic threats based on the MOE Table of Drinking Water Threats. Water quantity assessments were reviewed by a peer review committee as well as by the Manager of Environmental Services for the City of North Bay. Technical review of the water quality assessment was provided by a technical advisory committee, which consisted primarily of members of the Trout Lake Watershed Advisory Committee, a multi-stakeholder committee including representatives of various ministries, institutions, associations and municipalities. Local knowledge was solicited and comments received at two public meetings, one early in the process and another when the draft findings were presented.

  • Twenty-Eighth Annual Archaeological Report
    TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORT 1916 BY DR. R. B. ORR BEING PART OF APPENDIX TO THE REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION, ONTARIO Printed by order of THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO- TRADE ROUTE OF HURONS AND ALGONQUINS Before entering upon a historical sketch of the Algonquin tribe, known to us as Ottawas, a brief description of the trade route and rivers leading to the St. Lawrence Rivers from Georgian Bay, which were followed by the Algonquin and Huron traders, may be instructive and interesting. Long before Champlain's visit to Huronia (1615), and long before the ruthless conquest of the Hurons by the Hurons by the Iroquois (1649), a large and profitable trade had been established in tanned and untanned skins, in rugs, flint arrow and spear tips, hemp, mats, tobacco and fresh-water shells, by the Hurons and the Algonquins east of Lake Superior with their kinsmen of the lower Ottawa and the St. Lawrence River. FRENCH RIVER Down this picturesque river from Lake Nipissing came in early days Canadian and French dauntless explorers and devout missionaries, who explored the land, visited the tribes of half a continent, penetrated the region of the Great Lakes and carried the Cross and the fleur-de-lis from the Atlantic to the Mississipi. Among these heroic men were the Franciscan priest, Joseph Le Caron, first of the white men and first of missionaries to penetrate the Huron wilderness; Samuel de Champlain; Etienne Brule', Champlain's interpreter and daring ush-ranger; Gabriel Sagard, the historian of early Canada and companion of Le Caron; Jean de Brebeuf, the saintly missionary and martyr; Jean Nicolet, the explorer and first of civilized men to enter Lake Michigan and penetrate the Wisconsin forests; Piere Esprit Radisson and Medard Chouart des Groseillers, traders and fearless explorers; Joliet and Marquette, the discoverers of the Mississppi; and the brave and saintly missionaries Lalemant, Jogues, Garniers Daniel and Cheumonot, so intimately identified with the earliest annals of our country.

  • Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations
    Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations by Nicole Latulippe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Geography and Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicole Latulippe (2017) Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations Nicole Latulippe Doctor of Philosophy Geography and Planning University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Fishing constitutes an essential relation through which Nipissing peoples belong to Lake Nipissing. Belonging in and through human-fish relations is an affective, embodied, and dynamic relation. It is a reciprocal relation that expresses an Anishinaabe cosmology and rich knowledge and governance traditions. The diverse ways that Nipissing peoples belong to the lake are not represented in provincial fisheries policy and dominant epistemic frameworks; on the contrary, current provisions for Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge, ecosystem-based management, and Aboriginal partnerships preserve what Douglas Harris calls the legal capture of fish. In this dissertation, I write beyond the question of how Indigenous Knowledge Systems can improve Canadian fisheries management to center the diverse ways that Nipissing peoples value fish, know the lake, and enact their laws. Theorizing with difference, with that which seems contradictory and fragmented, my research performs important bridging work. Drawing on Nipissing and Anishinaabe theories and embodiments of power, change and transformation, my work seeks to interpret the efforts by Nipissing First Nation members to maintain relations with a hotly contested resource in a deeply challenging historio-legal environment. ii Acknowledgments Many teachers, friends, and institutions have supported this work. Deb McGregor, my academic supervisor, has been so important to my learning process.

  • North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) Is a Regional Watershed Manager Under the Provincial Conservation Authorities Act
    Ontario Energy Board Submission re: EnergyEast Presented by Pipeline Dave Mendicino, Board Chair Brian Tayler, CAO/Secretary-Treasurer Proposal April 2, 2014 NBMCA Submission to the OEB re: EnergyEast Pipeline Proposal 1 NBMCA’s WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ROLE The North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) is a regional watershed manager under the provincial Conservation Authorities Act. We provide technical advice and assistance with respect to natural resources to 10 member municipalities. NBMCA has a regulatory role in Ontario Regulations 97/04 and 177/06 concerning work within and adjacent to waterbodies, slopes and wetlands which we believe governs some pipeline activities, despite the fact that pipeline approvals are federally regulated. The proposed EnergyEast Pipeline project has a potential impact on four of our member municipalities - North Bay, Bonfield, Calvin, Papineau-Cameron - and crosses Duchesnay Creek, Chippewa Creek, Mattawa River, Kaibuskong River, Sharpes Creek, Amable du Fond River, Pautois Creek and Boom Creek and their tributaries. There are 14 wetland and 40 watercourse and waterbody crossings by the EnergyEast pipeline in our watershed. The pipeline crosses a Provincially Significant Wetland that is the headwaters of Chippewa Creek. Chippewa Creek is a significant watercourse that flows through the City of North Bay and, like Duchesnay Creek, which the pipeline also crosses, leads to Lake Nipissing which is vital to the environmental, social, and economic health of our region. (see attached maps.) Trout Lake is the headwater lake of the Mattawa River. It lies within an east-west trending fault that has experienced tremors in the past. It is a westward extension of the northern fault at the edge of the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben which is a controlling influence upon drainage patterns within this watershed.

  • 2.1 Physical and Biological Description Matabitchuan River Watershed
    Physical and Biological Description of the Watershed 2.1 Physical and Biological Description Matabitchuan River Watershed 2.1.1 Physical Description The Matabitchuan River system watershed has a total area of about 933 km2 and is a tributary system to Lake Temiskaming and the Ottawa River Drainage Basin. The Matabitchuan Watershed is bounded by the Montreal River watershed to the north and to the Lake Temagami watershed to the south and west, (Lake Huron Drainage Basin.) The main tributaries include: Net, Cassels, Rabbit, Fourbass Lakes and the Matabitchuan River. There is one generating station, the Matabitchuan GS and three water control dams on the system. A large portion of the Matabitchuan watershed is located within the municipal boundaries of Temagami. Beginning in the north western region of the watershed, headwater tributaries for Net Lake include: Snare, Jackpine, Mountain, Thieving Bear, Kanichee and Rib Lakes. Net Lake is located approximately six km north of the Town of Temagami on Highway 11. Water levels for the lake are controlled by a two-sluice gate / weir concrete dam located at the outflow of the lake into Net Creek.
