The stark assessment has emerged from nearly a decade of meticulous research aimed at understanding how 11 different subsets or "designatable units" of caribou should be listed under the federal Species at Risk Act. Justina Ray, a conservation biologist who co-led the work on behalf of the independent body that advises the government on the status of endangered wildl~fe, said the change in the caribou's fortunes since 2004, the last time such an assessment was completed, is profoundly worrying. "I think the conclusions startle even those of us who have been paying a lot of attention," Dr. Ray told The Globe and Mail before a government-sponsored meeting of caribou researchers in Ottawa this week.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION In the 1960s, Canadian Roger Tomlinson made a major contribution to cartography when he created the world’s first geographic information system (GIS). Over the next 50 years, the GIS field has grown to become an essential part of today’s world. GIS is used by all levels of government and also in business, education, health, natural resources and many other areas. Most people benefit from Roger Tomlinson’s creation every day. Long before Tomlinson began his work, the explorer David Thompson put map-making to good use when, around 1800, he mapped a significant portion of Canada. The lessons that accompany this giant floor map highlight the importance of Tomlinson’s GIS discovery, as well as other significant geospatial technologies. The lessons also show the value of Thompson’s traditional maps and mapping skills. The 10 curriculum‐linked lesson plans will help you teach students essential topics such as map-reading skills while also helping them learn about the geography of Canada. These lessons will engage Canadian students with topical lessons on the Canadian Arctic, the Global Position- ing System (GPS) and the importance of GIS in today’s world. This giant floor map and lessons will help educators engage, foster and promote geographic literacy and help develop the next generation of geographers in Canada. You will see geospatial technologies referenced throughout the lessons. We encourage you to explore the options that are available to you in your school, school district or board. Enjoy your time with the map; it is yours to explore.

  • IN the CLASSROOM an Anti-Métis Agitator, on Riel’S Orders
    DISCOVERY HISTORY This Map of the Province of Manitoba compiled by A.L. Russell in 1871 Glorious and free depicts the province less than a year after it joined Confederation. Celebrating Manitoba‘s 150th anniversary this summer with the oldest map of the province BY ANGELICA HAGGERT GOOD SANDY LOAM. A FOREST OF POPLARS. Beautiful fertile open prairie. Together these handwritten notes could describe none other than Manitoba at its inception, as shown on this 1871 map — the first depicting the province. At the time, the “postage stamp province,” as it was known, covered only about 36,000 square kilometres, roughly 18 times smaller than the Prairie and boreal province we know today. GWhile the area has for millennia been part of the traditional territories of the Assiniboine, Ojibwe and Dakota peoples in the south and the Cree and Dene in the north, the first Europeans to set foot in what would become Manitoba were 17th-century British migrants lured to the shores of Hudson Bay by a reported abundance of beaver pelts in a vast territory. After multiple ships returned to England with rich cargos of fur, a royal charter was signed to create the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670 and grant it control of Rupert’s Land, a giant territory covering about one-third of what is now Canada and all of present-day Manitoba. To say Manitoba’s entrance into Confederation 200 years later was hard-fought is an CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC understatement. In the late 1800s, the newly minted Dominion of Canada and the United States were both vying to purchase Rupert’s Land.

    DIBmmOF GREAT L_lgS EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY OF GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW Published by the Great Lakes Scknce Advisory Board International Joint Commission 1987; reprinted 1988; 1989 Welcome to the third edition of the Dimdory of Gmat Laks Education Materid. lhis pr+d began in 1984, when the Science Advieory Board's Socioeconomics Subcommittee surveyed sevaral hundred educatore and producers of educational programe to determine what matenials they fbund moet ueeful in teaching others about the Great Lakee. The goal of the eurvey wae to deternine wht items were available, and which were used moet often for variow eubject areae and gxwlw. Resub of thie survey were tabulated, and a followup questionnaire was eent in early 1987 to update ~e- eponeee to produce the first edition of thie directory. The eecond edition in 1988 included minor updates to the lietinge. To produce this latest edition, more than 600 educators were emeyed to determine whether there hae been an increase in the type and amount of materials available on the Great Lakes, ae well ae the frequency with which teachers are using these materials. What we found ie encouraging. First, more information is being produced. The wide variety of pamphlets, technical reparts and booklets available from government agencies, environmental organizations and scientific bodies continues to expand, and teachem still find thie information ueeful in developing their own educa- tional progxame. Second, thie information d materiale written epecifically for the educational eetting are getting into teachere' hande more quickly, and &om a wider variety of eourcee. The survey responees hopefully show that greater marketing efforts are being expended to get Great Lakee materiale into the claesroorn, and that teachers are eeebing out information on the lakee more than they were even two wars ago.

Many were also able to participate in a brief supplementary WG meeting, held 26-27 May 2007 in Hiroshima Japan, prior to the 4th International Zooplankton Production Symposium. The Hiroshima Symposium also saw 14 papers authored/coauthored by WG125 members presented in the first of 10 topic sessions (“Global comparison of zooplankton time series”; convened by WG members Mackas and Valdes). There were two main discussion topics during the May 07 WG meeting. The first was development and testing of “tool kit” software and statistical methodologies for calculating seasonal climatologies (and anomalies relative to these) for our variety of spatial and temporal sampling designs (single location time series vs. line transects vs. irregular grids within statistical regions).
