Chouinard D. Milburn Published under the authority of the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Ottawa, 1995 QS-8507-030-EF-Al Catalogue No. R72-244/1-1995E ISBN 0-662-23939-3 © Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada FOREWORD The Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES), announced in April 1991, is a six-year $100 million Green Plan initiative. The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing. Although data may not be available for all studies, or results are preliminary at this time, this report presents detailed background, objectives and methodology.

Recently, Walleye (Sander vitreus) of typical catch size in Tathlina Lake were found to have mercury concentrations above Health Canada’s commercial sale guideline of 0.5 ppm. Wild foods with elevated mercury concentrations can pose health risks to the humans who consume them, depending on consumption amounts and vulnerability factors such as age and pregnancy.

  • Fisheries Research Board of Canada Manuscript Report
    FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA MANUSCRIPT REPORT SERIES (BIOLOGICAL) No. 721 TITLE A Report on Tathlina and Kakisa Lakes - 1946 AUTHORSHIP W. A. Kennedy Establishment Biological Station, London, Ontario Dated June, 1962. A REPORT ON TATHLINA AND KAKISA LAKES - 1946 Tathlina and Kakisa lakes are located in the Northwest Territories near the northern boundary of Alberta. Tathlina Lake drains into Kakisa Lake which in turn drains into the Mackenzie River. Lady Evelyn Falls, which is 48 feet high, probably prevents any movement of fish from the Mackenzie River to Kakisa Lake. Until recently the Lakes were too remote from the markets for success- fuL exploitation, and prior to the present investigation their fish producing potentialities were unknown. However, with an all-weather road to Hay River under construction, it may become feasible to fish them. The Lakes were investigated during the period July 26 to August 9, L946. The investigation was undertaken jointly by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada and by the Department of Fisheries. The Fisheries Research Board supplied all scientific equipment including nets, part of the transporta- tion, and the services of the author. The Department of Fisheries supplied food, canlping equipment, part of the transportation, the services of two ex- perienced fishermen, and for part of the survey, the services of H. V. Dempsey. The Department of Lands and Mines in ALberta loaned us a two-way portable radio which was quite useful. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the advisability of opening the lakes to commercial fish~ng. If, as the chief, Phillip Simba, claimed, the Lakes barely supply enough fish for the Indians who go there, they would suffer if the lakes were exploited.

  • Hydrological Analysis for Great Slave Lake 2020
    Hydrological Analysis for Great Slave Lake 2020 Dec 15, 2020 ECCC-led Report with modifications by the Government of the Northwest Territories ECCC/GNWT Report on 2020 Water Levels 1 ECCC/GNWT Report on 2020 Water Levels 1. Executive Summary At the request of the Deputy Minister of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Government of the NWT (GNWT) and after consultation with the Governments of Alberta and British Columbia, a decision was made by the Associate Deputy Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to create a technical working group to better understand and explain the high-water levels on Great Slave Lake (GSL) in the summer and fall of 2020, as well as the potential for the duration of these high waters. There is a need to understand attribution of the high-water levels so that contributing conditions are understood and that causality is evidence-based. A technical working group was formed on September 15, 2020 to gather information from the ECCC networks, models and production systems that are readily available. This group was comprised of staff from ECCC, and the Governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories, as well as BC Hydro. The current status of the science-based efforts is summarized below. Further to this work, we will collectively develop an agreed upon understanding of the system and communicate these findings between partners. As stated below, we are looking at a suite of methods to gain an understanding of the high water levels on Great Slave Lake this year. Findings to date show the following: 1.
