Flood Hazard Identification Program Watino – Smoky River – Flood Hazard Study – Summary Community Hamlet of Watino Birch Hills County Municipal District of Smoky River No. 130 Stream Smoky River Basin Peace River – 7G This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels along an approximate 8 km reach of the Smoky River through Watino and surrounding area. The design discharge for the Smoky River is 12700 m³/s. The Smoky River watershed includes mountain, foothill and plains regions. Flooding within the study area typically occurs during the open water season as a result of heavy rainfall events, either alone or combined with snowmelt runoff. Annual peak flows can be expected between April and August, but the highest flows are most likely to occur in June. A digital representation of the flood hazard maps prepared as part of this study can be viewed online. • Watino Flood Hazard Mapping For more information regarding specific flood hazards in your community, please contact Alberta Environment and Parks by email at [email protected].

River Ice Observation Report River Forecast Centre April 19, 2013
River Ice Observation Report River Forecast Centre April 19, 2013 2012 – 2013 Peace River Report No. 34 The observation flight scheduled for today has been postponed due to inclement weather conditions. A ground observation on Tuesday morning located the ice front just downstream of the Hwy 986 bridge (km 413.9 at 07:45 MST). It had receded 8 km since Monday’s observation flight. At that time, it was 400 m away from connecting to a long open lead that extended at least 30 km. The ice front is now well downstream of the Town of Peace River, and its specific location will be determined on Monday morning. The ice covers on the Little Smoky and Smoky Rivers have begun to break up. Localized ice jams (deteriorated ice accumulations) have occurred in some locations, resulting in fluctuating water levels. The ice cover on the North Heart River remains in place, and continues to deteriorate with significant surface water present. The water level gauge near Nampa indicates that water levels have begun to increase in response to snowmelt and changing conditions. As these rivers break up, ice may be observed passing through the Town of Peace River. Temperatures are expected to remain slightly below seasonal next week, which is expected to moderate the snowmelt response of rivers in the area. Conditions on these rivers will be closely monitored over the weekend through ground observations, water level gauges and remote cameras. ESRD and BC Hydro remain in contact regarding river ice conditions and operation of the BC Hydro Peace River facilities.

City-Cemetery-Tour-Brochure-I.Pdf
0 1 Introduction For several years, South Peace Regional Archives has run historical walking tours of cemeteries around the South Peace. This booklet features the text of the first tour conducted in the Grande Prairie Cemetery (84 Avenue and 112 Street). The full tour takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete. It may be done in sections over several visits, out of order, or skipping some stops. The Grande Prairie Cemetery has two sections, East (new) and West (old). This tour covers selected graves in the old section. As you walk and read, look for connections between the people on the tour. It is interesting to note how often they were involved in each others’ lives. We hope you enjoy learning more about the people and events that have made this community what it is today. If you have any questions, please contact or visit us. 2 Stop 1 - Mission Cemetery (Mission Monument) St. Vincent’s Roman Catholic Mission was located on the west bank of Bear Creek, west of what became the townsite of Grande Prairie. The Mission was one of the only buildings that greeted new settlers in 1911. The mission house, which served as both residence and chapel, was originally built in 1896 on the shores of Lake Saskatoon, but in 1908 it was moved to the banks of Bear Creek. A church, the first church in the Grande Prairie District, was built in 1909. The Mission Cemetery operated from about 1909 to 1922. Around 1919 or 1920, the mission burned down and it was decided to build a church and rectory within the town of Grande Prairie.

The 2014 Annual Peace Canola Survey was completed by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada staff based at Beaverlodge1, Saskatoon2, and Lethbridge3. Samples were also kindly collected by the BC Pest Monitoring Contractor, Arlan Benn4, and staff from the Smoky Applied Research and Demonstration Association4 (SARDA). Since 2003, the annual survey has been performed with the main objectives of (i) collecting insect pest data throughout the region and (ii) to detect introduction of the Cabbage seedpod weevil into the Peace River region. In 2014, a total of 206 canola fields were randomly selected. Fields were approximately 10km apart and surveying was performed through the main canola producing areas of the BC and Alberta Peace during early- to mid-flower stages. In 2014, sweep-net monitoring was performed in 205 Brassica napus fields plus one B. rapa field (e.g., each field ≥80 acres in size) using 50 - 180° sweeps on the following dates in these areas: July 3-5 near Manning, Hawk Hills, LaCrete, High Level, Fort Vermilion. July 7 near Dunvegan, Fairview, Royce, Hines Creek, Whitelaw. July 8 near Bezanson, Debolt, Whitemud Creek, Valleyview, Little Smoky, Hythe, Valhalla, Beaverlodge, Elmworth.

The 2015 Annual Peace Canola Survey was completed by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada staff based at Beaverlodge1, and Saskatoon2. Samples were also kindly collected with help from the BC Pest Monitoring Contractor, Arlan Benn3, and Canola Council of Canada Student Assistant, Trina Drummond4. Since 2003, the annual survey has been performed with the main objectives of (i) collecting insect pest data throughout the region and (ii) to detect introduction of the Cabbage seedpod weevil into the Peace River region. In 2015, a total of 162 canola fields were randomly selected. Fields were spaced approximately 10 km apart and surveying was performed through the main canola producing areas of the BC and Alberta Peace during early- to mid-flower stages. Unfortunately, fewer fields were sampled north of 57.3° in 2015 (i.e., near Manning, LaCrete, Fort Vermilion and High Level) owing to sparse and patchy canola fields that suffered from repeated frost events and severe drought. In 2015, sweep-net monitoring was performed in 162 commercial fields of Brassica napus (e.g., each field ≥80 acres in size) using 50 - 180° sweeps on the following dates in these areas: July 5 near Grimshaw, Manning, Hawk Hills, LaCrete. July 6 near Valleyview, Guy, Falher, Nampa, Peace River, Jean Cote, Girouxville.

Executive Summary Profiling a local economy is one of the key economic analysis tools for economic development planning. An area profile provides a fundamental description of a region’s economy – its system or range of activities related to the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services – which serves as a basis or starting point for other regional economic analyses. An area profile may inform investors and entrepreneurs to consider business opportunities in the region, attract visitors, and brief the citizenry and governments on the structure, state, developments, and outlook of the local economy.
