  • AU023.004S Alberta Fish and Game Association
    LEVEL OF DESCRIPTION: Series No.: AU023.004S FORMS PART OF: AU023 Martha Kostuch fonds TITLE: Alberta Fish and Game Association series CREATOR: Kostuch, Martha DATE RANGE: 1977-1991 EXTENT: 1.08 m of textual records ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: The Rocky Mountain House Chapter of the Alberta Fish and Game Association (AFGA), (also known as Zone 3), was formed in 1979 by Tom and Martha Kostuch and other outdoor enthusiasts who wanted a voice in how fish and wildlife was managed in Alberta. Martha Kostuch was a director for Zone 3 from 1979-1980, and at the provincial level was voted Chair of the Renewable Resources Committee from 1982-1990 and Vice- President of the Executive Committee in 1990. The AFGA is an organization concerned with fishing, hunting, animal habitat, conservation, natural spaces and the laws that govern those concerns. During the years that Martha Kostuch was involved with the AFGA, many of these issues were debated and argued over at the Zone level and at the Executive level. At the annual conferences, decisions on AFGA positions were voted on and resolutions were forwarded to the appropriate Provincial Government departments with the expectation to have some influence on decision making at the provincial level. The Ministers of the receiving departments always acknowledged the AFGA contribution. Beginning in the 1990s, the AFGA’s resolutions became largely ignored by the provincial government and AFGA's influence as a lobby group on hunting and fishing laws and the environment was quite diminished. One of the mandates of AFGA was to educate hunters, and in particular youth, about hunting, fishing, conservation and wilderness skills and survival.

MATTHEW PARISH AND MISSIONS Rocky Mountain House - St. Matthew Church Caroline - St. Joseph the Workman Church Evergreen - Jesuit Martyrs Church Rocky Mountain House - St. Matthew Evergreen - Jesuit Martyrs Caroline - St. Joseph Bulletin QR Code INTRODUCTION TO THE LITURGY OF THE SUNDAY The Lord continually calls us – do we have ears to hear? Samuel does not recognize God’s voice, but he is alert and obedient, listening and ready for action. We hear that he ran when called, and another time he rose. Eli gives Samuel the correct response: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. We live in a world of noise and distraction. Are we ready to answer? Can we even hear? In the first reading, Samuel does not recognize God calling his name; Eli instructs him to respond: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul declares the body is to be used, not for sin, but to glorify God as a temple of the Holy Spirit. In today’s Gospel, Andrew and Simon Peter begin to follow Jesus.

  • 2010 Wildlife Management Unit 326 Elk and Moose
    2010 Wildlife Management Unit 326 elk and moose Photo: Maria Didkowsky Section Authors: Anne Hubbs and Maria Didkowsky Hubbs, A., and M. Didkowsky. 2012. Wildlife Management Unit 326 elk and moose. Pages 43-49. In: M. Ranger and S.Webb. Delegated big game surveys, 2009/2010 survey season. Data Report, D-2011-001, produced by the Alberta Conservation Association, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. WMU 326 is a desirable unit for both moose and elk hunters. There are approximately 400 elk hunters annually in this unit, with demand for licenses during the ‘Calling Season’ exceeding the supply for the past few years. Moreover, antlered and antlerless moose and elk are harvested year-round by aboriginal people in this area. In 2008, hunting of only antlered moose was permitted, with a season from 24 September – 30 November. The season was divided into two seasons: a ‘Calling Season’ from 24 September – 31 October, and a ‘Late Season’ from 1 – 30 November. The harvest goal for moose is presently 4% of the estimated pre-season population. Moose hunter success according to hunter harvest questionnaires has averaged 56% in the Calling Season and 61% in the Late Season over the last five years (ASRD unpublished data, 2004 - 2008). The harvest goal for bull elk is 6% of the estimated pre-season population (or 37% of antlered males). A general hunting season with a 3-point antler minimum is in place to protect the majority (~80%) of yearling bulls and to increase bull:cow ratios. The bow season (general license) is from 25 August – 16 September and the rifle season from 17 September – 30 November.

The feeling is it would be more efficient to have hospital staff assigned to a patient when Emergency Medical Services (EMS) drops them off so ambulances are free to respond to calls. Lara Harries, consultant with Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP), shared information on the Rhapsody Awards for 2020, and the Building a Better Community Rural Workshop it is hosting. She shared that May 25-29, 2020 is Alberta Rural Health Week and is a great opportunity to host appreciation events/efforts in communities.

  • Restoring Natural Habitat for Wildlife
    Alberta Conservation Association 2017/18 Project Summary Report Project Name: Restoring Natural Habitat for Wildlife Wildlife Program Manager: Doug Manzer Project Leader: Corey Rasmussen Primary ACA staff on project: Corey Rasmussen and Robb Stavne Partnerships Alberta Environment and Parks Key Findings • We wrote an article “Friendly Forest Fire” providing a public-friendly summary of the Upper North Saskatchewan River prescribed fire published in our 20th anniversary issue of Conservation Magazine. • We provided third-party support to Alberta Environment and Parks for the implementation of prescribed burns (~2,256 hectares) within the Blackstone Capping Units, approximately 135 kilometres west of Rocky Mountain House. • Along with Land Management staff, we visited a few Alberta Conservation Association conservation sites in the Central Region and provided input into habitat enhancement pursuits. Introduction Over time, human activities and land management decisions have slowly altered the natural state of many wildlife habitats across Alberta. For example, in some areas of Alberta, wildfire control has had serious ecological implications on vegetation patterns and stand age, resulting in incremental habitat loss for a diverse group of species ranging from alpine butterflies to elk to grizzly bears (Andison 2000; Smith 2000; Pengelly and Rogeau 2001; White et al. 2003). The primary focus of the Restoring Natural Habitat project is to restore natural ecosystem patterns and wildlife habitat values within landscape units (e.g., watershed sub-basins) and focal areas (e.g. public lands and Alberta Conservation Association [ACA] conservation sites) that have aged beyond the natural range of variability. 1 Methods Using an ecosystem-management approach, we maintained third-party support for Alberta Environment and Parks, Agriculture and Forestry initiatives in 2017/18 to incorporate species, ecosystem, and landscape values into habitat treatments, such as prescribed burns on public lands.
