  • 2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment Final.Pdf
    2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment December 1, 2011 Prepared for: Thunder Bay District Stewardship Council & Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Thunder Bay, ON Prepared by: Dr. Robert F. Foster 2011 Current River Assessment ABSTRACT Fish habitat mapping and electrofishing was conducted between August 31 and September 23, 2011 on the Current River below the Boulevard Lake dam and its mouth at Lake Superior. A total of 1063 fish of 10 species were caught during 10,976 seconds of electrofishing. Large fish species included one adult and five young of the year (YOY) walleye, 63 rainbow trout, 3 brook trout, and 32 YOY white sucker. Bedrock substrate comprises approximately 71% of the approximately 47,500 m2 of channel habitat, with cobble comprising much of the rest, particularly in middle reaches near Cumberland Street. During the drought conditions observed during the survey, only 44% of the channel below the high water mark was wetted. Although pool habitats represent only about 35% of the wetted habitat at low flows, they provide significant fish habitat. In particular, the bedrock pools above the generating station encompass approximately about 2000 m2 or 8% of the total channel area above the GS, but contained 477 fish of eight species. These fish habitat values have implications for water management planning, particularly minimum flows requirements in the bypass reach and its relation to leakage flows. Cover photo: Current River below Boulevard Lake Dam on September 2011 2 2011 Current River Assessment 1 INTRODUCTION Several potential fish habitat issues have been identified for the lower reaches of the Current River between Boulevard Lake and Lake Superior including: stranding of anadromous fish e.g., rainbow trout in or below the fish ladder below the Boulevard Lake Dam; potentially poor recruitment of walleye due to limited spawning success poor spawning runs of rainbow smelt due to inappropriate flow regimes; and other potential, unidentified impacts on spawning and nursery habitat for native fish species (e.g.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2005
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2005 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 10-01 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

Retired City of Winnipeg Police Sergeant Cecil Sveinson arranged some of the community interviews and provided valuable advice on matters relating to police training, recruitment and general police behavior. Tom Lockwood QC, acted as an important liaison with the OCPC and also assisted in a liaison role with the OIPRD. He helped conduct witness interviews, and his assistant Dorothy Balazs scheduled most of the witness interviews. His prior experience as OCPC Investigator helped keep this investigation on track. Professor Andrew Graham responded to my call for assistance and provided valuable insights into police board governance issues generally. Graham Boswell was assigned early on to the Investigation by the OCPC and was a great help in coordinating matters with Commission staff, especially the Media Scan, as well as identifying issues and witnesses. Shannon McDunnough and Gun Koleoglu of OCPC helped oversee the collecting of transcripts and documents. The Investigation’s General Counsel, Candice Metallic of Maurice Law, supported me with legal advice as needed, and did a considerable amount of research on the issues set out in the Report.
