  • **CTC-5520 Rail

    **CTC-5520 Rail

    CROSS- COUNTRY Traversing the Canadian Rockies by rail BY LOUISA KASDON SIDELL IDYLLThe idea of taking a journey by rail sprang from an urge for life at the slower, simpler pace of the 19th century, when travel was as much about the journey as the destination. The serenity to take in the entire landscape of Western Canada—the rolling prairies, the dense forests, the soaring peaks of the Rockies—as well as the chance to read a book, sip a glass of wine, and fantasize that I was among the elite and unhurried, the kind of traveller with time and money to spare. And anyway, I’d never seen the Canadian Rockies. • Typically, I am a hurry-up-and-get-there type of trav- eller. Get in the car, catch a plane, and be where you want to be in a time frame that is measured in hours, not days. But there was something seductive for me—a hint of Old World grandeur—about the idea of an overnight train journey. My own cozy little berth. An elegant dinner in the club car. A tall guy in a uniform, tipping his hat and bellowing “all aboard!” Maybe Alfred Hitchcock would be on the platform too, with his cello case, just like he was in Strangers on a Train. • The railroad has always been important in this country. Arguably, the completion of the transcontinental railway system was the impetus for the founding of the Dominion of Canada. When the British Empire seized control of Hong Kong in 1843, visionaries realized that a railway, energized by the new steam-powered locomotives, could be the way to transport the riches of the Orient—tea, porcelain and silk—to the lucrative markets in the West.

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared By

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared by: Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd. Calgary, AB for: Resource Data Division Alberta Environmental Protection Edmonton, Alberta March 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large portions of native habitats have been converted to other uses. Surface mining, oil and gas exploration, forestry, agricultural, industrial and urban developments will continue to put pressure on the native species and habitats. Clearing and fragmentation of natural habitats has been cited as a major area of concern with respect to management of natural systems. While there has been much attention to managing and protecting endangered species, a consensus is emerging that only a more broad-based ecosystem and landscape approach to preserving biological diversity will prevent species from becoming endangered in the first place. Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are important, useful and often sensitive features of the landscape. As an integral component of sustainable development strategies, they provide long-term benefits to our society by maintaining ecological processes and by providing useful products. The identification and management of ESAs is a valuable addition to the traditional socio-economic factors which have largely determined land use planning in the past. The first ESA study done in Alberta was in 1983 for the Calgary Regional Planning Commission region. Numerous ESA studies were subsequently conducted through the late 1980s and early 1990s. ESA studies of the Parkland, Grassland, Canadian Shield, Foothills and Boreal Forest Natural Regions are now all completed while the Rocky Mountain Natural Region has been only partially completed. Four factors regarding the physical state of the site were considered when assessing the overall level of significance of each ESA: representativeness, diversity, naturalness, and ecological integrity.
