Barrier Lake Reservoir the Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks
Is it us, or has this been the strangest of winters, weather-wise? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis In this month's newsletter... Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails News from the Board: Creating volunteer opportunities for you Other News: The winter speaker series is back -- and so are the bears, plus a survey opportunity Kananaskis Special Places: Barrier Lake Reservoir The Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails by Nancy Ouimet, Program Coordinator We received fantastic news this week. The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

Brazeau Subwatershed
5.2 BRAZEAU SUBWATERSHED The Brazeau Subwatershed encompasses a biologically diverse area within parts of the Rocky Mountain and Foothills natural regions. The Subwatershed covers 689,198 hectares of land and includes 18,460 hectares of lakes, rivers, reservoirs and icefields. The Brazeau is in the municipal boundaries of Clearwater, Yellowhead and Brazeau Counties. The 5,000 hectare Brazeau Canyon Wildland Provincial Park, along with the 1,030 hectare Marshybank Ecological reserve, established in 1987, lie in the Brazeau Subwatershed. About 16.4% of the Brazeau Subwatershed lies within Banff and Jasper National Parks. The Subwatershed is sparsely populated, but includes the First Nation O’Chiese 203 and Sunchild 202 reserves. Recreation activities include trail riding, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many of the indicators described below are referenced from the “Brazeau Hydrological Overview” map locat- ed in the adjacent map pocket, or as a separate Adobe Acrobat file on the CD-ROM. 5.2.1 Land Use Changes in land use patterns reflect major trends in development. Land use changes and subsequent changes in land use practices may impact both the quantity and quality of water in the Subwatershed and in the North Saskatchewan Watershed. Five metrics are used to indicate changes in land use and land use practices: riparian health, linear development, land use, livestock density, and wetland inventory. 5.2.1.1 Riparian Health 55 The health of the riparian area around water bodies and along rivers and streams is an indicator of the overall health of a watershed and can reflect changes in land use and management practices.

Water Supply Outlook Overview
Water Supply Outlook Overview For Immediate Release: August 10, 2006 Mountains and foothills receive little rain since mid-June From mid-June through July, precipitation in most mountain and foothill areas of Alberta has ranged from 20 to 60% of normal. As a result, natural runoff volumes measured in July were generally below to much below average, ranking among the second to 25th lowest in 91 years of record. Inflows to the Bighorn Reservoir were average. Total natural runoff volumes so far this year (March through July 2006) have also been much below average at Banff, Edmonton, and the Brazeau Reservoir, and below to much below average in the Red Deer River basin and at the Cascade Reservoir. Volumes are below average in the Milk River basin and most of the rest of the Bow River basin (average to above average at the Spray Reservoir), average in most of the Oldman River basin, and above average at the Bighorn Reservoir. For August through September 2006, natural runoff volumes are forecast to be below average to average in the Oldman River basin, below average in the Bow and Milk River basins, and below to much below average in the Red Deer and North Saskatchewan River basins. Total natural runoff volumes for the water year (March to September 2006) are expected to be below average to average in the Oldman River basin, below average in the Bow and Milk River basins, below to much below average in the Red Deer River basin, and much below average in the North Saskatchewan River basin.

Water Supply Outlook Overview
Water Supply Outlook Overview For Immediate Release: September 5, 2003 Summer very dry in western and southern Alberta Following this summer’s (May through August) trend of below-normal precipitation, rainfall during August was generally below normal in Alberta. As a result, natural run-off volumes were only slightly higher than or approaching those recorded in August 2001, the lowest on record in many areas. For the March through August 2003 period, natural run-off volumes in the Oldman, Milk and Bow River basins generally rank among the 15 to 25 lowest volumes in 85 years of record over the same period. Natural run-off volumes during March through August 2003 range from 65 to 85 per cent of average in the Oldman and Milk River basins, 70 to 95 per cent of average in the Bow River basin and 80 to 105 per cent of average in the North Saskatchewan and Red Deer River basins. Other highlights of the September Water Supply Outlook include: • As of September 1, 2003, water storage in major irrigation reservoirs in the Oldman River basin is below normal. Water storage in the major reservoir of the Red Deer River basin is below normal for this time of year. • Water storage is below normal to normal as of September 1, 2003 in the major hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs of the Bow River basin, except in the Glenmore Reservoir and Upper Kananaskis Lake which are above normal. Storage levels in the North Saskatchewan River basin are below normal at the Brazeau Reservoir and normal at the Bighorn Reservoir.

Electricity Until 1928
Alberta The generation and sale of electrical energy in Alberta is a story best told in three parts which had their beginnings respectively in the City of Calgary in southern Alberta, in the City of Edmonton 200 miles farther north and in the Town of Vegreville 60 or so miles east of Edmonton. For the sake of continuity we relate each of these as distinct developments in spite of many inter-relationships which have been involved along the way. The first part of this story began one dark night in 1886 when a man named Peter Anthony Prince slipped off a board side-walk and landed in a muddy street in Calgary. Right there he decided that Calgary’s streets should be lit by electric lights. That was the moment of conception for the predecessors of both the Calgary Power and Transmission Company and Calgary Water Power Company, which ultimately evolved as Calgary Power. Peter Prince was the Northwest Territories manager of the Eau Claire Lumber operation, having been sent there by his company from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He won the rights to erect poles and string wire in Calgary and, by 1889, had the street lit. Initially he burned sawdust from his lumber yard to fuel a 75 kilowatt steam-driven generator. By 1893, however, he was generating by water-power with a 280 hp water wheel under a 12 foot head on the Bow River right in the very heart of Calgary at First Avenue SW between First and Second Streets. The steam plant was kept in use during periods of low river water flow.
