    Passport to your parks canada travel experience Personal Information NAME: ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: Opposite photo: Gros Morne National Park in western Newfoundland. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gros Morne is known for its rugged beauty, majestic fjords, unique geology, exceptional hiking (backcountry and frontcountry) and its local culture. Photo of Gros Morne provided courtesy of the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Tourism. The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged • by the hand of man. • ~ Author Unknown Telling the Story of Canada Canada’s national parks and national historic sites tell the story of a remarkable country. Each is an experience that celebrates the beauty and infinite variety of one of the world’s most geographically and culturally diverse nations. Protected and preserved for all Canadians and the world, each park and site provides a haven, not only for plants and animals, but also for the human spirit. Whether it’s the sight of Gros Morne’s magnificent fjords, the feel of the marsh breezes at Fort Beauséjour—Fort Cumberland, the taste of the salt air at Prince Edward Island National Park, or the sound of the cannon at the Fortress of Louisbourg, Canada’s national parks and national historic sites stir the emotions. They tell a story of enduring Aboriginal presence, diverse landscapes and wildlife, early settlers and their struggles, fishing, shipbuilding, imperial conflict, nation building and creative genius. Hiking a scenic trail, touring an interpretive exhibit or viewing the vestiges of an ancient settlement, you hear that story—you feel it, you relive it. As you experience Parks Canada’s gateways to nature, history, discovery and adventure, let your senses be your guide.

  • Sedimentology and Chemostratigraphy of Carboniferous
    Sedimentology and chemostratigraphy of Carboniferous red beds in the western Moncton Basin, Sussex area, New Brunswick, Canada: possible evidence for a middle Mabou Group unconformity M. M. Nazrul Islam and David G. Keighley* Department of Earth Sciences, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 5A3, Canada *Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 30 November 2017 ¶ Date accepted: 12 July 2018 ABSTRACT The area around Penobsquis, east of Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada, is an important location of natural resources for the province. The McCully gas field produces from strata of the Mississippian Horton Group whereas younger strata of the Windsor Group are host to major potash and rocksalt deposits. Overlying these units are over 1 km of poorly understood red beds currently assigned to the Mississippian Mabou Group. To date, this latter unit lacks significant marker beds and has had no useful biostratigraphic recovery, despite recent extraction of close to 5 km of drill core. Research on this core broadly identifies siltstone and sandstone at the base of the Mabou Group that gradually coarsen up into conglomerate. The succession is considered the result of alluvial-fan progradation from the northeast. Within this succession, in several of the cores, is a single interval of localized, horizontally laminated to cross-stratified, bluish-grey sandstone, containing carbonaceous plant fragments and siltstone intraclasts. To assess the importance of this interval in the context of the red bed succession, a total of 131 samples of core from three boreholes have been analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma and spectroscopic techniques to determine chemostratigraphy. Study of various elemental ratios can delineate two packages, one that corresponds to the grey interval and overlying red beds, and the other to the underlying red beds.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Fig. 3.4 285 4.1 A time of change During the early 20th century the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador became increasingly diversified. The fishery was no longer the primary means of employment. (top left) Grand Bank, c. 1907; (top right) Ore Bed, Bell Island, c. 1920s; (left) Loggers stacking logs, c. 1916. TOPIC 4.1 What resources led to the creation of your town and other towns in your region? What problems are associated with one-industry towns? Introduction European settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador you will recall from your study of chapter three, to was originally driven by demand for saltfish that was compensate for declining harvests per person, fishers exported to southern Europe and the British West sought new fishing grounds, such as those in Labrador, Indies. By the mid-1800s, however, several problems and took advantage of new technologies, such as cod arose that limited the ability of the fishery to remain traps, which increased their ability to catch more fish the primary economic activity. Recognizing this, the in less time. Newfoundland government began to look for ways to diversify the economy. The second problem was the decrease in the cod biomass off Newfoundland and Labrador. One factor which contributed to this was a period of lower ocean Changes in the Fishery productivity – this means the rate of cod reproduction thus, many people lost an additional source of income. During the nineteenth century, the resident population was lower than in previous centuries.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.
