Sprays are effective only Comeback after sojape if they are used properly. Pepper spray should only be used when a bear is attacking or showing aggressive signs, and it should only be used as an airborne repellent, states the Page 2 paper. The instructions are simple. When the bear is some 50 feet away spray a brief shot. Spray again if the bear continues to approach.

They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

  • Canadian Impact Assessment Registry Reference Number 80101 Grassy Mountain Coal Project Crowsnest Pass, AB Following Is My
    1 Canadian Impact Assessment Registry Reference Number 80101 Grassy Mountain Coal Project Crowsnest Pass, AB Following is my (David McIntyre) written submission to be presented at the named Hearing: My full name, address, and phone number: David M. McIntyre <personal information removed> Thank you for approving my participation in the Joint Review Panel’s Hearing. Estimated time for my oral presentation: 45 minutes. I ask the Joint Review Panel to not approve the proposed Grassy Mountain Coal Project. The following explains and defines the rationale for my request that the project proposal be denied: The proposed project is located 12 km west of my home and is seen as a threat to, not only my home life, but my entire enjoyment, appreciation, and recreational use of the area I’ve chosen to live, work, and recreate within. It’s also seen as a direct threat to already threatened wildlife and fish, a colossal—downwind and downstream—threat to the Oldman watershed and its supply of safe drinking water and irrigation water to more than 200,000 Albertans. It is perhaps understandable, but frightening, to realize that some members of society, within a world threatened by a pandemic and financial upheaval, are quick to embrace wealthy speculators’ short-term vision of easy money and a plethora of dark unknowns in trade for world-class vistas, and quality-of-life living. What’s surprising is society’s tendency, particularly during tough times, to embrace futuristic engineering schemes and untried technology while discounting scientific knowns and a need for honest rigor, full-equation knowledge, and full-spectrum research.

    Click here for images THE INFLUENCE OF CONCEPTUAL MODELS AND GEO-POETRY IN TECTONICS AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY 2012 Penrose Gold Medal lecture Raymond A. Price Department of Geological Sciences & Geological Engineering Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario My fascination with the nature, origin, and evolution of mountains began during the summer of 1952, when, after only one course in geology, I had the good fortune to be employed on Geoffrey B. Leech’s GSC (Geological Survey of Canada) field party in the Purcell Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. Having never before been in the mountains, I was enthralled and intrigued by their majesty, formidable beauty, and mystery. Fortunately for me, Geoff Leech was an amazing mentor and role model. He nurtured my fascination with the mountains and my latent interest in geology with the result that my scientific focus shifted from physics and chemistry to geology. My principal scientific quest became: “Whence the Mountains?” particularly the mountains of the southeastern Canadian Cordillera. Thanks to the GSC, I was able to launch my scientific career with a PhD thesis focused on that question, and also to spend ten years at the Geological Survey of Canada exploring the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains in a strip stretching 425 km northward from Glacier National Park in Montana to the Yellowhead Pass near Mount Robson and Jasper. Sixty years later, equipped with a wealth of new information and many new conceptual models, (some of my own making), I now can articulate comprehensible explanations for the nature, origin, and evolution of the southeastern Canadian Cordillera, and thereby for some other mountain belts elsewhere.

  • Invest-In-Albertas-Tourism-Industry
    Invest In AlbertA’s tourIsm Industry Southwest Alberta IntroductIon Alberta’s Tourism Framework supports and focuses the tourism industry to create compelling, authentic tourism experiences that will grow Alberta as a leading tourism destination. It actively encourages entrepreneurial investment in traveller-focused development of innovative tourism experiences, destination renewal, and new destination areas through new collaborative partnerships with regions, communities and industry stakeholders. This approach will create and enhance traveller-focused experiences around the province by identifying and prioritizing areas holding high tourism value. Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation (TPR), in partnership with the Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance, completed a tourism investment opportunity assessment for the southwest Alberta region. This collaborative initiative supports Alberta’s Tourism Framework, and reflects the Government of Alberta’s role in facilitating access to capital for the tourism industry. The assessment is considered high-level in nature, and was not deemed to be a feasibility study. It contains high- level business case assessments around the identified opportunities, and is aimed towards attracting private sector developers and investors. This publication provides a summary of the opportunities identified in the report. All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. SOUTHWEST ALBERTA 3 southwest AlbertA Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance is a partnership of 15 communities working together through initiatives to facilitate sustainable economic growth and increase prosperity for all member communities in southwest Alberta. In 2011, the region had a combined population of 36,749, or 1% of Alberta’s total population. The largest communities are Crowsnest Pass and the Municipal District of Willow Creek, representing 30% of the total population of southwest Alberta.
