  • A Chronological Outline for the Athabasca Lowlands and Adjacent Areas
    6 A Chronological Outline for the Athabasca Lowlands and Adjacent Areas brian o. K. rEEves, JanEt blaKEy, and Murray lobb Since the early 1970s, archaeological studies in the Athabasca lowlands and the Birch Mountains have recorded a large number of sites that contain significant numbers of stone tools, including diagnostic artifacts, among them projectile points (fig 6.1). While some of the earlier studies originated in academic research, most of them have taken place in connection with proposed oil sands development or local or regional infrastructure projects. Our intent in this chap- ter is to outline, refine, and update the cultural chronology of the Lower Athabasca region in the light of existing studies and on the basis of the provincial database of archaeological sites. PaSt chronological Studies The first generalized chronologies of the Athabasca lowlands and adjacent areas date to the mid-1970s and were based on reconnaissance surveys, test excava- tions, and detailed excavations carried out by Archaeological Survey of Alberta staff archaeologists Paul Donahue (1976), John Ives (1977), and John Pollock (1978b). The results of these studies were later summarized by Ives (1981). Detailed discussions of chronology also appeared in the Historical Resource Impact Assessment reports pertaining to two major oil sands leases, Shell’s Alsands Lease 13 (Ronaghan 1981a, 1981b) and Syncrude Lease 22 (Van Dyke and Reeves 1984). Ives (1993) subsequently provided an in-depth discussion of the doi: 10.15215/aupress/9781926836904.01 161 r ! e v i R t r R o i F c Figure 6.1. Lower Athabasca study k h ee d Cr r a l area.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

  • Elkwater / Cypress Hills
    TRAIL 7 Elkwater/Cypress Hills The Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is unique to Southeastern Alberta as it is an area of relatively high altitude with the top of the hills being similar to Banff townsite (Elkwater is 1,234 metres in elevation). These hills are forested with a mixture of lodgepole pine, white spruce and aspen. The protrusion of these hills from the surrounding prairies can be a migrant trap. The montane vegetation also contains bird species that are typically found in the foothills and mountain areas of Alberta. A large number of vagrants have turned up in this park including such species as Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Red-headed Woodpecker, Clark’s Nutcracker and Summer Tanager. This park is also one of the very few locales in Alberta with nesting Common Poorwill. A population of Wild Turkey is resident in the park but their numbers seem to be diminishing, perhaps due to the ban on bird feeders. This ban was imposed due to the presence of cougars within the hills and is meant to discourage this animal from coming into the Elkwater townsite. In the past both Northern Goshawk and Broad-winged Hawk have nested in the hills. A number of hiking trails and roads wind throughout the park, which should be explored by any avid birder or nature lover. Roads are depicted on Map 7 but this map should be complemented with Alberta Parks trail and area maps. Each year a banding program is conducted in the park with the mist nets located near Site A. A visit to the banding station will give a good idea as to what is present in the park.

  • Winter Lakekeepers 2019
    Winter LakeKeepers 2019 ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S OBJECTIVES ALMS has several objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeKeepers program. These leaders in stewardship give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The LakeKeepers project was made possible with support from Alberta Ecotrust. We would like to thank the volunteers who made this program happen: Jon Pedlan, Ray Walker, Vien and Marielle Lam, Cam and Brittany Kereliuk, Kellie Nichiporik, Steve Hawryliw, and Blake Mills. We would also like to thank the Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance, the Alberta Conservation Association, and the Calling Lake Cottage Association for their assistance with coordinating volunteers and sample shipment. A special thanks to Cerina Lee for developing the LakeKeeper training videos. This report has been prepared by Caitlin Mader, Bradley Peter, Patrick Heney, and Caleb Sinn. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2018, the Alberta Lake Management Society, with financial support from Alberta Ecotrust, piloted the LakeKeepers project. This project was designed to enable stewards to conduct lake monitoring by providing them with training and sampling equipment. In early 2019, this project was expanded to include winter under-ice sampling, with the cooperation of ice anglers.

Links & Resources 17 Introduction Nikan The Athabasca Native Friendship Centre is inviting you to explore the power of Indigenous Tourism. In the Fall of 2018 the Athabasca Native Friendship Centre partnered with the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada, the newly formed Alberta Indigenous Tourism Association and Alberta Culture and Tourism to explore some potential for Indigenous Tourism opportunities that exist in our region. We focused on the communities of Wabasca, Athabasca and Calling Lake to host day long workshops. Each of our partners presented information about their organization and the benefits created through Indigenous Tourism. In the afternoon participants shared some ideas they had about their community including community assets, barriers that exist and of course the potential that abounds for entrepreneurs, investors and collaborations! Here is a bit about our partners and what they shared.
