  • Indigenous People and Fresh Water Management
    MAY 2021 Indigenous People and Fresh Water Management ESTABLISHING A CANADA WATER AGENCY Artwork provided by Onchaminahos School Saddle Lake About Keepers of the Water We are First Nations, Métis, Inuit, environmental groups, concerned citizens, and communities working together for the protection of Water, air, land, and all living things, today and tomorrow, in the Arctic Ocean Drainage Basin. Project Background Keepers of the Water learned that the Government of Canada is starting a Canada Water Agency and we feel it is important to be involved in this process, to have oversight and provide Indigenous input and ensure our voices are included from the beginning. Recognizing there has been decades of work done already, we look at the current state of the Waters and see there is still a lot of work to be done. KOW was provided funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) for research and moderation of four workshops on freshwater to be held with four Indigenous communities. The information collected from the Freshwater Workshops will inform a report to the Government of Canada and also informed this booklet. An online survey was also conducted to help us understand Indigenous Peoples’ needs and concerns when it comes to Fresh Water, with the intention of helping to create change that will help protect fresh water for now and future generations. The responses will help to inform Keepers of the Waters’ consultation with the Government of Canada in the development of a Canada Water Agency.

  • Physical Features
    Physical Features Chapter 2 Prepared by J. Brad Stelfox, John Godfrey, Mike Flannigan, Bob Wynes, and Greg Tink Summary Points • The geological landscape of northwest Alberta reflects the dynamic erosional and depositional history of the region. Advancing and retreating glaciers during the Pleistocene modified the pre-glacial topography, smoothing the highlands and depositing materials in topographic depressions. • Today, morainal deposits blanket most of the lowland regions. Glacial deposits on upland areas are more shallow and consequently these regions have some Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments exposed. • Soil conditions in northwest Alberta vary significantly depending on glacial history, local parent materials, climate, vegetation, and topography, with finer-textured clay-dominated soils occurring in glacial lake basins, and clay/loams with some stoniness occurring in highland regions where glacial till prevails. • Permafrost is present throughout much of the northern portions of the study area and is generally found beneath bog complexes. Permafrost is common in more northerly latitudes but yields to degraded permafrost further south. Degraded permafrost areas are those sites that provide clear evidence of permafrost in recent geologic times, but has been degraded because of changes in climate or landform. • The overall climate for northwest Alberta is continental, with warm summers and cold winters. Large contrasts in temperature between day and night, and between winter and summer are typical. For seven to eight months of the year, the air transport in northwest Alberta is from the west, which might be expected to bring moist air from the Pacific. However, most of the moisture is lost when the air passes over the Coastal Mountain Range and the Rocky Mountains, thereby giving the region its continental climate.

  • Summer Sport Fishery on the Peace River, Alberta, 2013
    Alberta Conservation Association 2013/14 Project Summary Report Project Name: Summer Sport Fishery on the Peace River, Alberta, 2013 Fisheries Program Manager: Peter Aku Project Leader: Bill Patterson Primary ACA staff on project: Aaron Androsoff, Melissa Buskas, Paul Hvenegaard, Dave Jackson, Bill Patterson, Nikita Robinson, Robb Stavne, Lenore Stone and Ken Wright Partnerships Canada Summer Jobs Key Findings • Angling effort and success on the Peace River between the Smoky and Cadotte rivers seemed low. • Total estimated angling effort was 3,575 h over a four-month period, with associated fishing pressure of 1.0 h/ha. • Anglers harvested an estimated 284 walleye for a yield of 0.08 kg/ha. • Anglers made 566 trips to the Heart River/Pat’s Creek access site and fished for 1,167 hours. • Anglers made 341 trips to the Whitemud River access site and fished for 697 hours. • Approximately half (53%) of anglers fished from the two access sites; the remaining half (47%) fished at alternate sites. Introduction The portion of the Peace River located in northwest Alberta is categorized as a cool-water fishery that supports sport fish species such as walleye (Sander vitreus), northern pike (Esox lucius), goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) and burbot (Lota lota). Angling is typically concentrated at the mouths of tributaries flowing into the mainstem (Nelson and Paetz 1992). However, little is known about recreational angling pressure along this portion of the river. In this project, we conducted an angler survey along a section of the river around the town of Peace River (i.e., between the confluences of the Smoky and Cadotte rivers) to provide Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) with current data regarding the sport fishery.
