Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

  • Leo Grillmair Leo Grillmair
    A Life So Fascinating: A Life So Fascinating: Leo Grillmair Leo Grillmair From poor and weary post-WWII Europe to the wild and free mountain wilderness of western Canada, Leo Grillmair’s life story is one of terrific adventure. Arriving in Canada from Austria in 1951, Grillmair and his life-long friend and business partner Hans Gmoser seized on the opportunities their newly-adopted country presented them and introduced Canadians to a whole new way of climbing rock faces. Brimming with optimism and industriousness, Grillmair applied an unwavering work ethic to help build a seasonal ski touring business to a 10-lodge helicopter skiing empire, which changed the face of backcountry recreation in the western hemisphere. As manager of Bugaboo Lodge, the world’s first heli- skiing lodge, in the world’s first and still largest helicopter skiing company, Canadian Mountain Holidays, Grillmair was instrumental in nurturing an entire industry that continues to employ hundreds of mountain guides, cooks, housekeepers, maintenance workers, pilots, engineers, massage therapists and numerous other office and lodge staff every year. Plumber, climbing pioneer, novice lumberjack, skier, professional rock collector, mountain guide, first-aid whiz, lodge manager, singer and storyteller extraordinaire, Leo Grillmair’s life is the stuff of which great stories are born. The Alpine Club of Canada is proud to celebrate its 20th Mountain Guides Ball with Leo Grillmair as Patron. For further information regarding The Summit Series of mountaineering biographies, please contact the National Office of the Alpine Club of Canada. www.AlpineClubofCanada.ca by Lynn Eleventh in the SUMMIT SERIES Biographies of people who have made a difference in Canadian Mountaineering.

  • 2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report
    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.

  • A Walk in the Past Jasper’S Self Guided Tours Fancy Yourself a Drifter? Channel Your Inner-Explorer and Lose Yourself in Time
    Jasper...A Walk in the Past Jasper’s Self Guided Tours Fancy yourself a drifter? Channel your inner-explorer and lose yourself in time. You’re steps away from discovering historic Jasper, where dusty pack-horses rested near pool halls, wanderers found one-off shacks nes- tled within the pines, and weary travellers swapped tales of new frontiers. Just what kind of characters were passing through, you wonder, as the train whistle hints at forgotten places, vagabond faces and a time gone by forever? The morning light casts a pinkish hue on Mount Tekarra and a mule deer trots across a path where a campfire once blazed and sizzled in the chill of the alpine air. Amble on Through... Welcome to our self-guided tour of the town site of Jasper, located in the heart of Jasper National Park. Take on the town we call home. Jasper National Park – Our rise to recognition Jasper National Park garnered world attention once Canada deemed our rocky oasis federally protected land in 1907. At the time, it was known as the Jasper Forest Reserve until 1930. And half a century later, UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) declared Jasper National Park a World Heritage Site along with the Na- tional Parks of Banff, Kootenay, and Yoho, and the Provincial Parks of Mt. Robson, Mt. Assiniboine, and Hamber. In 2007, Jasper National Park cele- brated 100 years as the cherished, protected land we continue to celebrate.
