SESSIONAL PAPER No. 23 A. 1912 RuvAL Northwest Mounted Police Headquarters, Eegixa, October 31, 1911. To the Honourable R. L. Bordex, M.P., K.C., &e., President of the Privy Council, Ottawa.- SlR,—I have the houour to submit herewith, for your information, my annual report for the year ended September 30, 1911, together with the reports of officers commanding districts, and certain special reports which may be of public interest. STRENGTH AND DISTRIBUTION. On September 30, the strength of the force was: 50 officers, 576 non-commis- sioned officers and constables, and 566 horses. Compared with last year, there is a decrease of 23 men, and an increase of 21 horses. The following table gives the distribution in the provinces and territories: = I -3 =5:2 SO = <i-= O Alberta 22 33 156 33 276 257 11 38 151 30 ; 282 277 4 Saskatchewan 19 1 I 13 3 27 .... 77 6 3 1 1 Northwest Territories I I 5 22 I 4 41 32 13 4 I Yukon Territorr I Grand total 1 12 33 34 51 79 342 III1 70 1626 566 105 The force is distributed as follows in the provinces and territories: Divisional posts. Detachments. Alberta 73 Saskatchewan. -t 83 N. W. Territories. 1 Yukon Territory . 1 — 8 ROTAL yORTHWEST MOUNTED POLICE 2 GEORGE v., A. 1912 A total of 11 divisional posts and 170 deatchments. The strength at the divi- sional posts varies with the requirements; none have a sufficient reserve of strength to meet emergencies, but only enough to carry on the regular routine duties. The larger proportion of the detachments consist of a single constable. They are scat- tered over the settled area of the provinces at salient points, many miles apart, and along the main routes of travel in the far north. To illustrate the work and responsibilities of the average constable on detached duty, I quote from a report of one of them : ' My district covers an area of about 2,000 square miles. It is well patrolled and the settlers are kept in touch. They are composed of all nationalities, but chiefly English and Americans, the remainder are French, Germans, Swedes, Icelanders, Russians, Hungarians, Galicians and Negroes. The majority of these foreigners seem to band together, hence there are Swede settlements. Russian settlements, &c. They are all good workers and making a home for themselves, though many of them cannot speak English. During my patrols I have come across a number of settlers who had not seen a policeman. In one place I was asked if I could speak English, and in another the lady of the house asked if I was an agent for sewing machines.' There is a constant and insistent demand for more of these detached posts from all parts of the provinces. I cannot comply with these reasonable demands, which are for the benefit of the isolated communities and the country at large. The jwpulation has increased five times; the area of settlement has extended tenfold. The force stands at the strength of ten years ago. I have in previous reports expressed my opinion as to the importance of keeping in touch with the new settlers, and impressing them with the fact that we are a pro- tective force, ready to aid and assist; but at the same time a repressive force witli the power and will to enforce the law. The multifarious daily duties pressing upon us and occupying so much time, prevent us from carrying on an effective patrol system: In the Northwest Territories our service ought to be extended to several points down the Mackenzie river, and made more effective. The present strength in the Yukon territory is sufficient ; but may require an increase at any time because of discovery of new gold fields. I recognize that the duty of maintaining law and order in the provinces rests with the respective local governments, and that the arrangement, whereby the ser- vices of this force were continued, is and could only he. of tentative character. Therefore an increase' of strength is unusually difficult; but without a substantial increase the force will not be able to render the service expected of it. In considering the effectiveness of the force to perform its duties, the personnel is of the highest importance. I respectfully submit, that the present rates of pay are not sufficient to attract enough suitable men. nor to hold them after they have joined. Forty-eight purchased their discharge this .year, and there are forty-three applicants for discharge on the waiting list. I can well understand the desire of so many to better their condition. The opportunities are great. The pay of all classes of labour is high, and the force cannot compete. REPORT OF C0MMI8SI0XER PERRY 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 28 It is true that the force, as a whole, is composed of intelligent men of high charac- ter. These men I would urge be rewarded by a substantial increase of pay, and that men of the same class be encouraged to join in larger iiuinber, by the better pay offered. CRIME. The following statistics include all indictable offences where the accused have been committed for trial; all summary convictions dealt with by the force; but not tlui^e in the cities and towns, having their own police. During the twelve months 9.418 eases were entered; 7,875 resulted in convictions; and 179 cases were awaiting trial on September 30. There is a decrease of 1,167 convictions compai-ed with last year. 10 KOYAL NOKTHWEST MOcNTED I'OIAVE 2 GEORGE v., A. 1912 SlUSSUUSlQ •suojioiAUog p3.I3}Ua S39BQ •Suijiti.tty •S[B9SlUieiQ •snonoiAnog eo ^ s[«ssiiasi(j suoi^oiAuog O tr- CO ^ N ?! •amji'BAiV ^ O -H r-t •s[Bssiai8i(j •SUOIJOIAIIOJ M ^ rr CR 05 CC N M N O O 1 = rz^°*^ '5 Tl c c 50-^ OS 60 60 ?

  • Western Grebe Surveys in Alberta 2016

    Western Grebe Surveys in Alberta 2016

    WESTERN GREBE SURVEYS IN ALBERTA 2016 The western grebe has been listed as a Threatened species in Alberta. A recent data compilation shows that there are approximately 250 lakes that have supported western grebes in Alberta. However, information for most lakes is poor and outdate d. Total counts on lakes are rare, breeding status is uncertain, and the location and extent of breeding habitat (emergent vegetation, usually bulrush) is usually unknown. We are seeking your help in gathering more information on western grebe populations in Alberta. If you visit any of the lakes listed below, or know anyone that does, we would appreciate as much detail as you can collect on the presence of western grebes and their habitat. Let us know in advance (if possible) if you are planning on going to any lakes, and when you do, e-mail details of your observations to [email protected]. SURVEY METHODS: Visit a lake between 1 May and 31 August with spotting scope or good binoculars. Surveys can be done from a boat, or vantage point(s) from shore. Report names of surveyors, dates, number of adults seen, and report on the approximate percentage of the lake area that this number represents. Record presence of young birds or nesting colonies, and provide any additional information on presence/location of likely breeding habitat, specific parts of the lake observed, observed threats to birds or habitat (boat traffic, shoreline clearing, pollution, etc.). Please report on findings even if no birds were seen. Lakes on the following page that are flagged with an asterisk (*) were not visited in 2015, and are priority for survey in 2016.

This listing was based on an updated provincial status report (AESRD and ACA 2013), in which 80 lakes were reported to have supported western grebes during the breeding season in the province. Since that time, new sources of data have become available. In this report, we update the known distribution of the western grebe in Alberta using these additional sources and observations.

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared By

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared by: Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd. Calgary, AB for: Resource Data Division Alberta Environmental Protection Edmonton, Alberta March 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large portions of native habitats have been converted to other uses. Surface mining, oil and gas exploration, forestry, agricultural, industrial and urban developments will continue to put pressure on the native species and habitats. Clearing and fragmentation of natural habitats has been cited as a major area of concern with respect to management of natural systems. While there has been much attention to managing and protecting endangered species, a consensus is emerging that only a more broad-based ecosystem and landscape approach to preserving biological diversity will prevent species from becoming endangered in the first place. Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are important, useful and often sensitive features of the landscape. As an integral component of sustainable development strategies, they provide long-term benefits to our society by maintaining ecological processes and by providing useful products. The identification and management of ESAs is a valuable addition to the traditional socio-economic factors which have largely determined land use planning in the past. The first ESA study done in Alberta was in 1983 for the Calgary Regional Planning Commission region. Numerous ESA studies were subsequently conducted through the late 1980s and early 1990s. ESA studies of the Parkland, Grassland, Canadian Shield, Foothills and Boreal Forest Natural Regions are now all completed while the Rocky Mountain Natural Region has been only partially completed. Four factors regarding the physical state of the site were considered when assessing the overall level of significance of each ESA: representativeness, diversity, naturalness, and ecological integrity.
