Jim Prentice 6 Minister’s Message MINISTER’S MESSAGE Explore Alberta Parks Guide Explore Alberta Parks One of the greatest things about Alberta is our provincial parks. Our diverse landscapes inspire and reinvigorate us. You can go horseback explore.albertaparks.ca riding on the Crown of the Continent in the southwest, swimming and boating with surrounding parkland at Aspen Beach Provincial Park, or hiking at Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park, where thousands of song birds fill the boreal forest every spring. Alberta’s protected areas are playgrounds where families and friends meet for outdoor adventures and to Honourable Kyle Fawcett connect with nature. Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Fishing is one of the province’s most popular outdoor activities. This guide highlights some of the best spots. You can cast a line from your boat in Police Outpost Provincial Park, fly-fish on the Bow River in Kananaskis or enjoy the quiet of backcountry fishing in Lakeland. I encourage you to use this guide to explore the hidden gems and old favourites that Albertans are proud and honoured to call their own. Don’t forget to come and help us celebrate our parks on Canada’s Parks Day – the third Saturday in July.

  • Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan
    Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan SUNDANCE PROVINCIAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN September, 2006 Preface The Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan provides a long-term vision and day-to-day guidance for stewardship of the park. Department staff, within the context of existing legislation and regulations, prepared the plan. It outlines the type and extent of outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities, facilities and services. The plan provides direction regarding the delivery of heritage appreciation programs that assist Albertans and visitors to understand and appreciate our natural heritage while ensuring its ongoing preservation. The management plan was developed with public input and is intended to provide for the periodic review and revision to reflect the current thinking of Albertans on how our natural heritage will be preserved for present and future generations. The Minister responsible for parks and protected areas has authorized the implementation of the management plan and retains authority to amend or interpret its provisions. VISION STATEMENT FOR THE PARK “Sundance Provincial Park will be managed through clear direction to maintain the health, biodiversity and uniqueness of this ecosystem. Rare and significant natural features will be preserved while providing opportunities for compatible backcountry recreational and educational opportunities.” Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION.........................................................................................................................

Boxall Project Report 95-02 PROJECT REPORT Department of Rural Economy Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry, And Home Economics A Random Utility Analysis of Southern Alberta Sportfishing T. Peters, W.L. Adamowicz, and P.C. Boxall Project Report 95-02 The authors are: Research Assistant, Department of Rural Economy, University of Alberta, Associate Professor, Department of Rural Economy, University of Alberta, and Non-timber Valuation Economist, Canadian Forest Service, Edmonton. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank Frank Bishop and Della Clish of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division for important suggestions concerning sportfishing in southern Alberta and technical assistance. We also welcome the interest of Trout Unlimited in supporting the study. We gratefully acknowledge the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division and the Fisheries Enhancement Fund for funding this project. PREFACE This is the third report resulting from the study: "A Socioeconomic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta." The first report dealt with general results from the survey, while the second focused specifically on the impacts of the Oldman River Dam on recreational fishing in the Crowsnest area. This, the third report, examines the economics of fishing in a more regional framework, and investigates a number of behavioural assumptions in deriving non-market values associated with fishing in the area. A number of resource management scenarios are examined in this study. These were chosen with no particular knowledge of actual or contemplated management actions. However, the treatment of these scenarios illustrate how a vast number of management alternatives which result in changes in environmental or recreation quality could be examined in an economic context.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
