11 Day Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories Tour Code YNWT 11 Day Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories 11 days Created on: 30 Sep, 2021 Day 1: Arrive in Edmonton, AB Arrive in Edmonton, Alberta`s capital, and one of the popular cities in Canada to visit. Summertime in Edmonton is nothing short of legendary. Experience what 18 hours of sunlight a day feels like and soak up all the energy of the world's largest northernmost metropolis. From the continent?s first, biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival, to breathtaking sunset canoe tours, bike rides along Edmonton?s scenic riverfront pathways immersive experiences at the Royal Alberta Museum or the Art Gallery of Alberta, or embracing some fun (and shopping) at famous West Edmonton Mall, there is much to do in Edmonton.

    HYDRO RESOURCES 2012 There is opportunity for the Northwest Territories (NWT) to provide clean, renewable energy to communities and industry, and potentially to other regions of Canada. The vast majority of the hydro potential in the NWT has not yet been developed. The growing impacts of fossil fuel use on the environment – and the pressure of rising prices – continue to underscore the importance of developing these resources.

  • Interview Summary
    Interview Summary Interviewee: Ronnie Semansha Date: November 4, 2009 Location: Chateh Administration Office Interviewers: Kathrin Janssen, Adena Dinn “This [BC] is our traditional lands” -Ronnie Semansha Hunting and Trapping Ronnie hunts for moose in British Columbia (BC) near Kotcho Lake along the winter access road that spans from Rainbow Lake to Fort Nelson. He once shot a moose adjacent to Cabin Lake. He also uses the Sierra Yoyo Desan road and the winter access road that loops around Kotcho Lake for hunting. He takes this route once a week beginning on Friday afternoons when he is finished work. Ronnie also hunts in the area near Kwokullie Lake; he travels there via the winter access on the 31st baseline. Ronnie strictly hunts for moose in BC, and noted that there are hardly any caribou left. He explained that there used to be lots of caribou in BC but there has been a drop in recent times. Fishing Ronnie noted that there are pickerel in Kotcho Lake and explained that there are all different kinds of fish out there [BC]. Travel Routes Ronnie travels to BC using the winter access roads. He noted that there were two roads that he generally used, one from Rainbow Lake to Fort Nelson and one that cuts North to the Zama area (along the 31st baseline). When he does go out, other community members will often accompany him and everyone chips in a little for gas and supplies. However, he generally goes out for just one day and does not require supplies beyond fuel. Transcript 13 If he cannot travel to a certain area via the winter roads then Ronnie will often use a skidoo and the cutlines to access those areas.

  • South Saskatchewan River Legal and Inter-Jurisdictional Institutional Water Map
    South Saskatchewan River Legal and Inter-jurisdictional Institutional Water Map. Derived by L. Patiño and D. Gauthier, mainly from Hurlbert, Margot. 2006. Water Law in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. IACC Project working paper No. 27. March, 2007. May, 2007. Brief Explanation of the South Saskatchewan River Basin Legal and Inter- jurisdictional Institutional Water Map Charts. This document provides a brief explanation of the legal and inter-jurisdictional water institutional map charts in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB). This work has been derived from Hurlbert, Margot. 2006. Water Law in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. IACC Project working paper No. 27. The main purpose of the charts is to provide a visual representation of the relevant water legal and inter-jurisdictional institutions involved in the management, decision-making process and monitoring/enforcement of water resources (quality and quantity) in Saskatchewan and Alberta, at the federal, inter-jurisdictional, provincial and local levels. The charts do not intend to provide an extensive representation of all water legal and/or inter-jurisdictional institutions, nor a comprehensive list of roles and responsibilities. Rather to serve as visual tools that allow the observer to obtain a relatively prompt working understanding of the current water legal and inter-jurisdictional institutional structure existing in each province. Following are the main components of the charts: 1. The charts provide information regarding water quantity and water quality. To facilitate a prompt reading between water quality and water quantity the charts have been colour coded. Water quantity has been depicted in red (i.e., text, boxes, link lines and arrows), and contains only one subdivision, water allocation.

  • Hay River Region
    The Hay Water RiverMonitoring Activities in the Hay River Region Kátåo’dehé at Enterprise Kátåo’dehé is the South Slavey Dene name for the Hay River. In Chipewyan, the Hay River is Hátå’oresche. In Cree, it is Maskosï-Sïpiy. The Hay River is a culturally significant river for Northerners and an integral part of the Mackenzie River Basin. Given its importance, there are several monitoring initiatives in the region designed to better understand the river and to detect changes. The information collected through these programs can also help to address questions that people may have. While amounts vary from year to year, the volume of water in the Hay River has remained relatively stable since monitoring began in 1963. Only a slight increasing trend in winter flow was revealed. Some changes in water quality were also found, such as increasing trends in phosphorus and decreasing trends in calcium, magnesium and sulphate. This means that the levels of these substances have changed since sampling began in 1988. Further work is needed to understand the ecological significance of these trends. Overall, the water quality and quantity of the Hay River is good. Continued monitoring activities will increase our knowledge of this important river and identify change. It is important that all water partners work closely together on any monitoring initiatives. 1 Water Monitoring Activities in the Hay River Region For information regarding reproduction rights, please contact Public Works and Government Services Canada at: (613) 996-6886 or at: [email protected] www.aandc.gc.ca 1-800-567-9604 TTY only 1-866-553-0554 QS-Y389-000-EE-A1 Catalogue: R3-206/2014E ISBN: 978-1-100-233343-7 © Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, 2014 This Publication is also available in French under the title: La Rivière Hay : activités de surveillance de l’eau dans la région de la rivière Hay.

REPORT ON THE PEACE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES IN 1891, BY WM. OGILVIE. Ottawa, Tth April, 1892. To the Honourable The Minister of the Interior Sir,—I respectfully submit the following report of my operations for the season of 1891. On the 5th of June of that year instructions were issued to me from the Surveyor- General's Office directing me to make a thorough exploration of the region drained by the Peace River and its tributaries, between the boundary of British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains, and to collect any information that may be of value relating to that region. The nature and extent of my work was, of necessity, left largely to myself, as also was the method of my surveys. As it was desirable that I should, if practicable, connect the end of my micrometer survey of the Mackenzie River made in 1888 with that made on the Great Slave River in the same year, which I was then unable to accomplish on account of high water, I took along the necessary instruments, but owing to circum- stances which will be detailed further on I found it impossible to complete this work. Immediately upon intimation that this work was to be intrusted to me I ordered a suitable canoe from the Ontario Canoe Company, Peterborough, after having ascertained that I could obtain it more quickly there than elsewhere.
