Lake Louise Ski Area Long-Range Plan Detailed Impact Analysis 1.0 Final Draft – March 2018 Lake Louise Ski Area Long-Range Plan Detailed Impact Analysis Draft Terms of Reference 1.0 Introduction This document sets out the Draft Terms of Reference for the completion of a Detailed Impact Analysis of a proposed Long-Range Plan prepared by the Lake Louise Ski Area. The Terms of Reference describes the scope for the Detailed Impact Analysis, including the identification of valued components and expectations for Indigenous, stakeholder and public consultation. In 2015 Parks Canada approved the Lake Louise Ski Area Site Guidelines for Development and Use (Site Guidelines). The Site Guidelines set out permanent growth limits for the Lake Louise Ski Area, identify four substantial environmental gains, and provide a blueprint for future ski area development that will enhance visitor experience. The Site Guidelines were developed by Parks Canada with input from the Lake Louise Ski Area, and are consistent with Parks Canada’s Ski Area Management Guidelines (2006) that provide ministerial direction for long-term planning and management of all national park ski areas. A Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Site Guidelines was prepared to address potential environmental implications and public concerns. The focus of this assessment was on the identification of potential cumulative effects at regional and local scales. The Site Guidelines provide a long-term vision for the ski area and outline conceptual improvements, but they do not include project-specific details, nor approval for individual developments. The vision described in the Site Guidelines is realised through the development and implementation of one or more Long-Range Plans. These plans describe the specific projects and developments that are intended to be implemented by the ski area over a given timeframe. The content of the Long-Range Plan must be consistent with the approved Site Guidelines. The Lake Louise Ski Area is currently preparing their first Long Range Plan following the approval of the 2015 Site Guidelines. The Long-Range Plan will be subject to an environmental impact analysis in accordance with the Parks Canada Directive on the Implementation of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012. Parks Canada has determined that the appropriate level of assessment for the Long-Range Plan is a Detailed Impact Analysis. The Detailed Impact Analysis will address the potential project-level environmental effects of the specific land use and development proposals contained in the Long-Range Plan. A Detailed Impact Analysis is the most comprehensive level of impact assessment in the Parks Canada framework. It is intended for complex projects that require a careful analysis of project interactions with valued components. This level of assessment requires Indigenous, stakeholder, and public consultation. 2.0 Roles and Responsibilities The Ski Area Management Guidelines (2006) stress the importance of a collaborative approach to ski area planning and management, in order to support the maintenance of ecological integrity, while providing outstanding visitor experiences that support economically healthy ski area operations. Parks 1 Final Draft – March 2018 Canada and the Lake Louise Ski Area both have distinct roles and responsibilities in delivering this objective. 2.1 Parks Canada • Prepares Site Guidelines with input from the ski area; Site Guidelines are approved by the CEO of Parks Canada (Lake Louise Site Guidelines approved in 2015); • Provides advice and guidance to the ski area on the development of the Long-Range Plan, with an emphasis on ensuring consistency with the Site Guidelines and Parks Canada legislation and policy; • Provides a Terms of Reference for the preparation of the Detailed Impact Analysis; • Conducts Indigenous, stakeholder, and public consultation on the Terms of Reference for the Detailed Impact Analysis; • Works collaboratively with the Lake Louise Ski Area on Indigenous, stakeholder, and public consultation on the draft Long-Range Plan and leads consultation on the draft Detailed Impact Analysis, to ensure that the federal government’s accountabilities are met; • Analyses all input received on the draft Detailed Impact Analysis, and provides guidance to the ski area on any deficiencies or issues that need to be addressed; • Makes a determination on the final Detailed Impact Analysis; • Makes a recommendation to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change (Minister Responsible for Parks Canada Agency) on the final Long-Range Plan. 2.2 LLSA • Prepares Long-Range Plan, with input from Parks Canada; • Conducts a Detailed Impact Analysis on the Long-Range Plan on the basis of the Terms of Reference issued by Parks Canada; • Works collaboratively with Parks Canada on Indigenous, stakeholder, and public consultation on the Long-Range Plan and Detailed Impact Analysis; • Analyses and summarises all input received on the Long-Range Plan, and submits a report documenting the process and results to Parks Canada for review. • Revises Long-Range Plan and Detailed Impact Analysis to reflect outcome of consultation process, with advice and guidance from Parks Canada; • Submits final Long-Range Plan and Detailed Impact Analysis to Parks Canada for consideration. 3.0 Long-Range Plan Scope The Long-Range Plan being prepared by the Lake Louise Ski Area includes a broad range of projects and improvements reflecting the vision and objectives contained in the Site Guidelines. The scope of the Long-Range Plan includes: • the addition of new ski lifts and the development of new ski terrain on Whitehorn Mountain and Richardson’s Ridge; • new and expanded lodges at the base area; • a new lodge on Eagle Ridge near the top of the existing gondola; • relocation of the summer visitor program from Whitehorn Lodge to the new lodge on Eagle Ridge; 2 Final Draft – March 2018 • expansion of Temple Lodge; • the addition of an operations and maintenance building near Temple Lodge; • a new warming hut near the upper terminal of the Top of the World lift on Whitehorn Mountain; • two water storage reservoirs; • expanded and re-designed parking areas; and, • the development of non-skier winter activities such as tubing, snowshoeing, and ice climbing. For a more detailed description of the proposed projects, see the Summary of the Lake Louise Ski Area Proposed Long Range Plan, 2018 (Appendix 1). 4.0 Detailed Impact Assessment Requirements Each of the following sections outlines the expected content and level of detail that should be included in the Detailed Impact Analysis. Parks Canada welcomes input on this draft Terms of Reference, and requests that responders use the guide found at the end of this document to organise their response. 4.1 Long-Range Plan Introduction • Ski Area Planning Process o Describe the main elements and decision points of the ski area planning process in Parks Canada including legislation, Ski Area Management Guidelines, Site Guidelines, Long- Range Plans and Project Permitting • Lake Louise Site Guidelines o Describe the approach and key elements of the Lake Louise Ski Area Site Guidelines at a high level • Strategic Environmental Assessment o Describe the main parameters and mitigations associated with the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Site Guidelines with a focus on Valued Components and the integration/linkages between the Strategic Environmental Assessment and the Long-Range Plan Detailed Impact Analysis • Long-Range Plan Overview o Provide an executive style overview of the key strategies, developments activities and operations associated with the Long-Range Plan o To also include the rationale for the plan overall, how it contributes to, and aligns with the direction of the Site Guidelines, and to the Core Concepts outlined in the Site Guidelines. 4.2 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) Requirements • CEAA and Parks Canada Directive o Outline the requirements of CEAA 2012 and the Parks Canada Directive on Implementation of CEAA 2012 3 Final Draft – March 2018 • Detailed Impact Analysis Decision Process o Outline the reasoning for the application of the Detailed Impact Analysis in accordance with the Directive • Impact Assessment Roles and Responsibilities o Outline the roles and responsibilities for the completion of the Detailed Impact Analysis including the Terms of Reference, Draft and Final Detailed Impact Analysis documents, Public Participation and Detailed Impact Analysis Determination – outlining responsibilities of the Ski Area and Parks Canada. 4.3 Indigenous Consultation Parks Canada is seeking to advance reconciliation and develop a renewed nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples based on the recognition of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership. As part of this effort, the Crown, represented by Parks Canada in this case, has a legal duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples, and where appropriate, make accommodations when the Crown contemplates conduct that might adversely impact potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty rights. This duty has been applied to an array of Crown actions and in relation to a variety of potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty rights. Parks Canada will fulfil this duty by engaging Indigenous people early, beginning with this Terms of Reference, seeking to understand how they wish to be involved, and then working with them accordingly throughout the process to ensure that their interests are addressed. The Detailed Impact Analysis will: • Describe the program of Indigenous consultation, including the communities involved

Strata are interpreted to have been deposited on a deep-marine levee that was sandwiched between its genetically related channel on one side and an erosional escarpment sculpted by an older (underlying) channel on the other. Flows that overspilled the channel (incident flow) eventually encountered the escarpment, which then set up a return flow oriented more or less opposite to the incident (from the channel) flow. This created an area of complex flow that became manifested in the sedimentary record as a highly tabular succession of intricately interstratified sand and mud overlain by an anomalously thick, plane-parallel interlaminated sand-mud unit capped finally by a claystone. ii Résumé Dans la zone d’étude de Castle Creek, situé au centre-est de la Colombie-Britannique, se trouve une section exposée de 30 m d’épaisseur et de 450 m de large dans la formation Isaac (Neoprotérozoique).

Calgary, AB T3E 5S4 August 2001 PREFACE This report was prepared under the terms of Parks Canada contract #KKP 2064. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policies of Parks Canada. This document may be cited as: Tremblay, M. 2001. Wildlife Corridors in the Lake Louise Area, Alberta: A Multi-Scale, Multi-Species Management Strategy. Prepared for Parks Canada. 168pp. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND Habitat fragmentation is a central issue in the Lake Louise area due to the presence of a naturally fragmented landscape coupled with high levels of human activity, a situation that is believed to be constraining the movements of wildlife in the area. Human influences in the Lake Louise area include four nodes of visitor activity (the Hamlet of Lake Louise, the Upper Lake area, the Lake Louise ski area, and the Moraine Lake area), two major transportation corridors (the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway), several high volume secondary roads, a dense network of popular hiking trails, and dispersed human activity such as off-trail hiking and snowshoeing. Although a variety of studies have been carried out to further our understanding of wildlife habitat use and movements within BNP, there has been no attempt to synthesize information from multiple sources into a single consideration of wildlife corridors specifically for the Lake Louise area.

  • Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of a Matrix
    SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF A MATRIX-POOR TO MATRIX-RICH DEPOSITIONAL CONTINUUM IN PROXIMAL BASIN FLOOR STRATA, UPPER KAZA GROUP, WINDERMERE SUPERGROUP, B.C., CANADA. Nataša Popović Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree in Earth Sciences Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre Faculty of Science University of Ottawa ©Nataša Popović, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract Matrix-rich strata (20-70% mud matrix) have been increasingly recognized in deep- marine systems. These beds are thought to be deposited from mud-rich flows in a distal basin-floor setting; however they remain poorly understood, partly because details of lateral lithological changes are poorly known. In this study, matrix-rich strata are common in proximal basin-floor strata of the Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup. The objective of this thesis is to provide detailed description and interpretation of the lithological and mineralogical make-up and lateral facies trends of matrix-rich strata in in a unit 40 m thick and 800 m wide. Here, stratigraphic and petrographic analyses identified five facies: classic turbidites; sandstones; clayey sandstones; sandy claystones and fine-grained banded couplets, which laterally are arranged systematically from matrix-poor sandstones to thin-bedded turbidites. This lateral change is interpreted to represent a depositional continuum along the margins of an efflux jet that formed immediately downflow of an avulsion node. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to whole-heartedly thank my supervisor, Dr. Bill Arnott, for the opportunity to work on such an amazing project and for all of his countless hours of support, guidance and mentoring.
