  • Canoe Trips in Canada
    Si Caiadla DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR HON. THOMAS G. MURPHY - - Minister H. H. ROWATT. C.M.G. - Deputy Minister B. HARKIN - Commissioner National Par^s of Canada, Ottawa CANOE TRIPS IN CANADA Department of the Interior National Parks of Canada Ottawa, 1934 TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR CANOEISTS Build your campfires small, close to the water's edge on a spot from which the leaves and moss have been scraped away. Drown it with water when leaving, and stir the ashes with a stick to make sure no live coals are left. Leave your campsite clean. Bury all rubbish, bottles and cans. Never throw glass or tins in the water where others may bathe. Learn how to swim, and first aid methods. Do not sit or lie on bare ground. Never run a rapid without first making sure that it can be done with safety. Examine it carefully for logs, boulders and other obstructions. Two canoes should not run a rapid at the same time. Do not make your packs too heavy; about 40 pounds is a good average. Avoid crossing large lakes or rivers in rough weather. Make camp before dark. Erecting a tent, or preparing a meal by firelight, is not easy. Learn how to prepare simple meals over a campfire. Unless familiar with wilderness travel, never attempt a trip through uninhabited country without competent guides. Charts of the route and good maps of the sur­ rounding country are essentials. Canoe Trips in Canada To those who desire a vacation different from the ordinary, a canoe trip holds endless possibilities, and Canada's network of rivers and lakes provides an unlimited choice of routes.

  • Final Report
    Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report NOTE TO READERS In keeping with the Indigenous languages, the Commission has endeavoured to reconcile the terminology used with the spelling preferred by the Indigenous peoples themselves. As such, the names used to designate the First Nations communities are those used in the Indigenous languages. The same goes for the nations. The unchanging nature of certain Indigenous words (e.g. Inuit) has also been observed. The term First Nations includes the Abénakis, Anishnabek (Algonquins), Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou (Cree), Hurons-Wendat, Innus, Malécites, Mi’gmaq, Mohawks and Naskapis. The expression Indigenous peoples designates First Nations and Inuit collectively. Also note that translations of quotations are our own, unless otherwise stated. This publication was drafted following the work of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec : listening, reconciliation and progress.

  • Jonquière and Montréal–Senneterre Train Routes
    THIS BOOKLET IS YOURS TO KEEP ROUTE GUIDE MONTRÉAL—JONQUIÈRE MONTRÉAL—SENNETERRE This guide chronicles the points of interest along the Montréal–Jonquière and Montréal–Senneterre train routes. Enjoy this opportunity to discover these regions and their history, which was forged by the railway over 100 years ago. Bon voyage! 6246-17D (08/2017)-WA-E The Montréal–Jonquière train covers 510 km. It crosses the island of Montréal, heads through the St. Lawrence River Valley to Lanaudière, and continues on to the regions of La Mauricie, Portneuf, Haute- Mauricie, Lac-Saint-Jean and Saguenay. The Montréal–Senneterre train covers 717 km. It is joined to the Montréal–Jonquière train up to Hervey- Jonction before heading northwest on its own to Haute-Mauricie and Abitibi. Most of the places in this guide were founded with the arrival of the railway. The section of track between Rivière-à-Pierre and Chambord was first completed in 1888, followed by the Chambord–Jonquière section in 1893. The southern section also expanded progressively: Shawinigan to Saint-Tite in 1898, Saint-Tite to Rivière-à-Pierre and Joliette to Shawinigan in 1901, and Montréal to Joliette in 1904. Construction was completed on the line from Hervey to La Tuque between 1908 and 1909, from La Tuque to Sanmaur in 1910, from Sanmaur to Clova in 1912 and from Clova to Senneterre in 1913. The points of interest along a railway line can be identified in various ways: 2 Scheduled stops are usually main stations staffed by VIA personnel or unstaffed secondary stations that provide a sheltered waiting area.

NO .''5 (REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.5, published in 1978 as Fish. Environm.Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (804). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only. However, the Canadian Freshwater Features Section will be sent if specifically requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.5(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in numerical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used.
