Canadian Society of Soil Science Annual Meeting, Banff, Alberta May 2014. 18 p. 2 3 Banff Park In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

    Transportation Research Record 1006 l Research on Railroad Ballast Specification and Evaluation GERALD P. RAYMOND ABSTRACT Research leading to recommended procedures for ballast selection and grading are presented. The ballast selection procedure is also presented and offers a sequential screening process to eliminate undesirable materials. The procedure classifies the surviving ballasts in terms of annual gross tonnage based on 30 tonne (33 ton) axle loading and American Railway Engineering Association grad­ ing No. 4. The effect of grading variation and its effect on track performance is also presented. From 1970 to 1978 Transport Canada Research and De­ color, and chemical composition.

  • Big Horn Sheep
    2.11 SHEEP: Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis, Ovis dalli: ssp: dalli, stonei) Appearance and Size California and Rocky Mountain bighorns look similar, but the California subspecies is slightly darker in colour, and in rams the horns flare outward more than those of Rocky Mountain (Photo: BC Parks) rams. Bighorn Sheep have a rich brown coat with a contrasting ivory–white rump patch, a white muzzle, and white trim on the back of all four legs. The brown coat fades to a drab grey-brown by late winter. The adult ram’s massive, brown, spiralled horns grow throughout the sheep’s life, and can be as long as 127 cm around the curve and as thick as 40 cm around the base. Ewes have slightly curved horns about 30 cm long. Adult rams stand about 100 cm high at the shoulder, and usually weigh 90 kg to 135 kg. Ewes are about two thirds the size of rams. (Photo: William S. Keller, US National Park Service) Life History Bighorn Sheep are among the most social of British Columbia’s hoofed mammals. They breed between early November and mid-December. Most ewes do not breed until they are two years old; and rams until they are seven or eight years old. Gestation lasts about 6 months, and lambs are born from the last week in April to early June. As lambing time nears, pregnant ewes leave their social group and isolate themselves in rugged lambing cliffs near the winter-spring range. They usually produce a single lamb that weighs 3 kg to 5 kg, but some well- nourished females produce occasional twins.

Again, for the record, we are solicitors for Teck Resources Limited and its affiliates Teck Coal Limited and Teck Metals Limited (collectively, “Teck”) in connection with the Consultation. We have appended a further report of Dr. Lawrence I. Gould, Ph.D., Professor of Finance and Senior Scholar at the Asper Business School, University of Manitoba, together with letters from Teck, the Western Grain Elevator Association and the Canadian Canola Growers Association. As we understand it, the Agency places a high degree of reliance on the financial statements provided by CN and CP, as well as on their submissions with respect to capital structure, as demonstrated by the language of Appendix A of Agency Decision 425-R-2011. In particular, CN’s and CP’s capital structure to finance net rail investment seems to us to rely too heavily on decisions by CN and CP both as to the proportions and the amounts of debt and equity.
