  • Lesser Slave Lake Walleye Spawning Assessment April – June, 1997
    1997 Lesser Slave Lake Walleye Spawning Assessment Lesser Slave Lake Walleye Spawning Assessment April – June, 1997 Prepared by: Brian Lucko and Glenn Todd October, 1997 Northwest Boreal Region Alberta Conservation Association 1 1997 Lesser Slave Lake Walleye Spawning Assessment Abstract In the spring of 1997, the Alberta Conservation Association conducted a study to confirm the presence of spawning walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) in six tributaries and at four shoreline areas within Lesser Slave Lake in northern Alberta. The six tributaries were the Swan River, Driftpile River, Marten River, Assineau River, Strawberry Creek and Mission Creek. The four shoreline areas include Joussard townsite, Giroux Bay (Faust townsite), Spruce Point Park, and mouth of the Driftpile River. Walleye were captured by electrofishing (primary method) and in some instances, gill netting. When spawning walleye were located, the site was revisited and kick sampling conducted to collect walleye eggs. Thirty kick sampling sites were established during this survey. Electrofishing produced 138 spawning walleye in the lower section of Strawberry Creek. The Driftpile River and Assineau River produced 7 walleye and 1 walleye respectively. No walleye were found in the Swan River and Marten River. A genetic test indicated that walleye eggs were found in Strawberry Creek and at 3 shoreline sites within Lesser Slave Lake: 1) Joussard, 2) Giroux (Faust) Bay, and 3) Spruce Point Park.

  • 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. Artwork provided by Onchaminahos School Saddle Lake NIPIY (cree) TU (dene) AOHKÍÍ (blackfoot) Water is a sacred precious gift from Creator.

The report has incorporated a variety of information available to us from different sources as well as two reports prepared by third parties. The key elements of the reports are as follows: 1) An aquatic assessment of rivers and the lake, including information on flow and water quality, 2) A Phosphorus budget for Lesser Slave Lake based on different methods, 3) A summary of paleolimnological data collected from two studies describing historical lake water quality, including previously analyzed (geochemistry, pigments) and raw (organic contaminant, diatom) data, 4) A BATHUB modeling exercise to predict lake water quality based on the P budget and future development and restoration scenarios, prepared by ESRD and NSWA, and 5) A summary of fisheries status and human limitations that affect them, prepared by ESRD. We thank you for the opportunity to assist you with this interesting assignment and look forward to presenting the results at LSWC’s annual meeting.
