  • Snow Trails & Tales February 2017
    CALGARY SNOWMOBILE CLUB Snow Trails & Tales February 2017 New Castle Area Management Plan Draft: The planned exclusion of all snowmobiles and OHV’s As you are all no doubt aware, the Government of Alberta released a new draft plan in January 2017 for the future management of the Castle Area. The critical impact for us as snowmobilers is that this draft plan will exclude ALL snowmobiles and OHV’s from the new parks. This is a change from Government’s previous proposals, and from the guiding document, the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP), which is the Government’s overall land management use plan for Southern Alberta. In the SSRP, snowmobile and OHV access on designated trails in the parks was part of the plan. In the Government’s January 2017 public survey for input on their Castle Management Plan, there is no question asking IF Albertans want snowmobile and OHV access to continue. There is only question 4 which states that all OHV access to the area WILL be terminated, and then asks how quickly this termination of access should occur. (See: Question 4 in: https://talkaep.alberta.ca/CastleManagementPlan/survey_tools/castle-provincial-park-and-castle- wildland-provincial-park-management-plan-survey) Here is an online petition created by the OHV community that you may wish to review and sign to support responsible OHV access on designated trails in the Castle Area and to change the wording of Question 4 in the Government’s Castle survey. Details are on the petition. https://www.change.org/p/amend-castle-provincial-park-castle- wildland-provincial-park-plan-to-include-ohv-use The Calgary Snowmobile Club Executive is also preparing materials to circulate to Club membership to assist with background information and writing letters to the government on this topic.

    Alberta Ski Resorts on the Eastern Slopes and Environmental Advocacy: Conservation Politics and Tourism Developments in Kananaskis Country, 1980-2000 By Michelle Nicole Murphy A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation University of Alberta © Michelle Nicole Murphy, 2018 ii Abstract This study investigates ski resort development and proposals on the eastern slopes of Alberta between 1980 and 2000 with a specific focus on Kananaskis Country. It highlights issues between conservation imperatives and recreation and sport development. It examines the site selection for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games to uncover the provincial government and Olympic Organizer’s lack of concern towards environmental issues and disregard for concerns brought up by environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), recreational skiers, and the public. An analysis of conservation politics regarding the site selection of Mount Allan, the potential use of Mount Whitehorn (Lake Louise), and the Spray Lakes Ski Resort proposal looks closely at the strategies used by ENGOs to advocate for the environment. Through an exploration of conservation politics and land-use debates, this research project probes the role of Kananaskis Country as a multiple-use landscape to argue that between 1980 and 2000, a pro-development provincial government placed minimal value on environmental knowledge and expertise and chose to sacrifice important Alberta mountain habitats for ski resort development and economic gains. This was contrary to opposition from ENGOs, like the Sierra Club of Western Canada, and the public, who utilized strategic discourse to draw attention to environmental threats as a form of resistance to government decision- making.

Resource development in the Kakwa River watershed has expanded over the last two decades and is suspected of negatively impacting Arctic grayling populations, but data are outdated. Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) conducted a two year study assessing abundance, distribution, and population structure of Arctic grayling in the Kakwa River watershed.
