  • W^Tersfiis Glacier Fre< a Spread You Don't Want for Breakfast
    The Fre< W^tersfiiS Glacier HHkt lilllllll The weekly summer newspaper and activity guide serving the International Peace Park Region August 14,1996 Volume 5, Issue No. 14 A spread you don't want for breakfast WATERTON - You can't eat it, but you can sure get stuck in it, a bear jam, that is. And Waterton Lakes National Park has been seeing a few jams over the last week. What happens, according to warden Mary Coleman, is that a bear, sometimes on its own, sometimes with her cubs, makes its way to a roadside in the park and hangs out there. If it's during daylight hours, tourists driving by stop to take a look or take a picture. Before long, there are several vehicles lined up trying to get a better look, and soon traffic comes to a halt. Coleman indicates that the Red Rock Road saw the most jams this past week, but while being interviewed she was viewing another black bear and her two cubs on the main roadside leading to the Prince of Wales hill. That family was observed often in the area last week, also. "There's been 15 different bears on the road to Red Rock, and four single bears in the Crandell Lake campground," she says. It may be that the ripening saskatoon berries are bringing them out she speculates (makings for another kind of jam). None are^eausing any trouble, she adds. So wardens don't consider moving them out of the area. If alerted in time, usually by campground staff or other park employees, they'll head out to the scene, especially if cubs are involved They make sure visitors don't get too close and that they don't get between a mum and her cubs.

    PEOPLE PROGRESS OUTREACH SERVICE Annual Report 2016 The Alpine Club of Canada | Le Club Alpin du Canada Message from the President With the 2016 fiscal year behind us, it is time to celebrate our Club’s progress and milestones. I invite you to read these pages and reflect on our proud achievements. It is also a time to look to the future. For me, that means putting more boots in the mountains and growing our members’ pride in being part of this amazing organization. Many of our members join for the Club’s great range of activities. They soon learn the ACC provides so much more—a sense of history and shared passion for mountain culture, responsible access and preserving the environment. How can we continue to do better for our members? I believe it starts with enhancing connections with our Sections. In October, I had my first official meeting with our Section leaders in Lake Louise. It marked the initial step in a process of reaching out to determine their highest priorities so we can develop an effective nationwide strategy. In 2017, we will conduct a survey of all members, building on last year’s survey of Sections, asking you about your club experiences and expectations, for your ideas and input. There is a lot to be done, but with so many sensational volunteers committing their time, energy and support to projects across the country, our organization is uniquely positioned to thrive. It has been completely humbling to have been elected your President for the next three years. I will undoubtedly make mistakes.
