A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park
A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them. -

Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario
Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario by Guneet Sandhu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Sustainability Management (Water) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Guneet Sandhu 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Amidst rising concerns for sustainability of water resources, the province of Ontario has placed a temporary moratorium expiring on January 1, 2019 on bulk groundwater extraction by new water bottlers while considering broader reforms in water management policies. Given the projected impacts of climate change, coupled with population and economic growth, episodes of water scarcity are expected to rise in Ontario. Even though measures for sustainable water management are slowly gaining momentum, Ontario’s economy is likely to remain water- intensive with a burgeoning water demand. Therefore, to assure sustainability of water resources, proactive policies need to be developed that can effectively communicate water scarcity and change the consumption behavior of all water-using sectors. Bulk water pricing is an effective economic instrument to manage demand, incentivize use-efficiency and conservation by signaling to users the economic value of water. However, current water extraction charges imposed on few industrial sectors are very small, and hence insufficient not only to foster sustainable water use but also to recover the costs of various resource management initiatives undertaken by the Province of Ontario. -

Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – February 1 , 2018
Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – February 1st, 2018 The February 1st snow survey is now complete. Data from 86 snow courses and 69 automated snow weather stations around the province, collected by the Ministry of Environment Snow Survey Program and partners, and climate data from Environment and Climate Change Canada have been used to form the basis of the following report1. Weather January weather patterns affecting British Columbia were mixed. Generally, the month featured above-normal (+0.5 to 2.0˚C) temperatures across most of the province, with areas of warmer temperatures in the Kootenays. The first half of the month was mild with light precipitation and subdued snow accumulation. Several significant storm events affected the province in the second half of January, especially for the southern half of the province. An atmospheric river in late January created flood conditions on Vancouver Island. January precipitation totals were well above normal for the southern half of BC, while the Northwest and North Coast regions were below normal. Snowpack Snow basin indices for February 1st 2018 range from a low of 51% of normal in the Northwest to a high of 165% in the Skagit (Table 1 and Figure 1). Overall, the province has a slightly-above normal snow pack for February 1st, with the average of all snow measurements across the province at 108%, increasing significantly from 96% of normal on January 1st. Well-below normal snowpack is present in the Stikine (67%) and Northwest (51%). Well-above normal snow pack (>130%) is present in the Okanagan, Similkameen, Lower Fraser, South Coast, Skagit and Vancouver Island. -
Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – April 1St, 2018
Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – April 1st, 2018 The April 1st, 2018 snow survey is now complete. Data from 132 snow courses and 74 automated snow weather stations around the province (collected by the Ministry of Environment Snow Survey Program, BC Hydro and partners), and climate data from Environment and Climate Change Canada forms the basis of the following report1. Weather The weather in March was relatively cool and remained dry for most of the month until several storm systems moved through the province at the end of the month. Temperatures across the British Columbia were near normal to slightly below normal (-2 to 0˚C relative to normal). Precipitation was well above normal for most locations in the Interior, and significantly below normal for Vancouver Island and the South Coast. Snowpack Snow basin indices for April 1st 2018 range from a low of 65% of normal in the Stikine to a high of 152% in the Similkameen and Okanagan regions (Table 1 and Figure 1). Overall, the province has an above normal snow pack for April 1st. The average of all snow measurements across the province is 127% of normal, increasing significantly from 119% of normal on March 1st. Well-above normal snow packs (>130%) are present in the Upper Fraser West, Okanagan, Similkameen, Boundary, and Skagit. The April 1st snow index for the Okanagan is 152% of normal, which is tied with April 1999 for the highest snow pack dating back to 1980. Above normal snow packs (110-130%) are present in the Middle Fraser, Upper Fraser East, Lower Fraser, Upper Columbia, West Kootenay, East Kootenay, South Coast, and Central Coast. -
A Chronological Outline for the Athabasca Lowlands and Adjacent Areas
6 A Chronological Outline for the Athabasca Lowlands and Adjacent Areas brian o. K. rEEves, JanEt blaKEy, and Murray lobb Since the early 1970s, archaeological studies in the Athabasca lowlands and the Birch Mountains have recorded a large number of sites that contain significant numbers of stone tools, including diagnostic artifacts, among them projectile points (fig 6.1). While some of the earlier studies originated in academic research, most of them have taken place in connection with proposed oil sands development or local or regional infrastructure projects. Our intent in this chap- ter is to outline, refine, and update the cultural chronology of the Lower Athabasca region in the light of existing studies and on the basis of the provincial database of archaeological sites. PaSt chronological Studies The first generalized chronologies of the Athabasca lowlands and adjacent areas date to the mid-1970s and were based on reconnaissance surveys, test excava- tions, and detailed excavations carried out by Archaeological Survey of Alberta staff archaeologists Paul Donahue (1976), John Ives (1977), and John Pollock (1978b). The results of these studies were later summarized by Ives (1981). Detailed discussions of chronology also appeared in the Historical Resource Impact Assessment reports pertaining to two major oil sands leases, Shell’s Alsands Lease 13 (Ronaghan 1981a, 1981b) and Syncrude Lease 22 (Van Dyke and Reeves 1984). Ives (1993) subsequently provided an in-depth discussion of the doi: 10.15215/aupress/9781926836904.01 161 r ! e v i R t r R o i F c Figure 6.1. Lower Athabasca study k h ee d Cr r a l area. -
