Mobile Core Bathurst Caribou Management Zone Mobile Core Bathurst Caribou Management Zone The Mobile Core Bathurst Caribou Management Zone exists as a wildlife management zone for barren-ground caribou under the Wildlife Act. You must not hunt inside this zone. How do I find out the boundaries of the Mobile Zone? • Get the most recent map. The map is updated every Thursday. You can get a map from: o Gordon Lake station o McKay Lake check station o Your local or regional ENR office o Your local band, community, government or organization office o ENR North Slave Region FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/enrnorthslaveregion/ o ENR website http://www.enr.gov.nt.ca/en/services/mobile-core-bathurst-caribou- management-zone • Download the most recent .gpx file for your GPS device to plot the zone boundary at http://www.enr.gov.nt.ca/en/services/mobile-core-bathurst-caribou-management-zone What happens if I’m caught harvesting inside the Mobile Zone? • An officer will investigate the scene. • If the officer determines that the caribou may have been harvested illegally, they will seize the caribou meat. • The officer may ask for a voluntary statement from you for the investigation file. • The officer will write up a violation report, and after an investigation is under way, you will be told the next steps. • If the investigation indicates there has been an illegal harvest in the Mobile Zone, a charge will be laid and you will get a date for a court appearance. • If the officer seizes your meat and ENR is not able to store the meat until the court process is complete: o The officer will write up a disposition order to decide who will receive the meat. o You will receive notice that a disposition hearing is set with a Justice of the Peace. o You can state your case to keep the meat at the hearing. If it is decided you can’t keep it, the meat becomes the property of the GNWT. o The GNWT will give the meat to a charitable organization. 114°0'0"W 113°0'0"W 112°0'0"W 111°0'0"W 110°0'0"W 109°0'0"W

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

Hikhik Just as okalik were important for food to Inuit during the winter, hikhik were important to Inuit for food during the summer. This was especially true inland as the concentrations of nesting waterfowl and eggs present on the coast were not available. Hikhik were tasty and sought after, especially in the fall when they were fat. Although it took much time and effort, hikhik pelts were collected and used to make ceremonial atigi. Hikhik fur was also used for atigi liners, mitts, kamiit, and for under-garments.

  • Yellowknife Heritage Building Project
    Yellowknife Heritage Building Project City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee Compiled by Ryan Silke Updated September 2018 by R.S. Yellowknife Heritage Building Project Part A – Yellowknife area McMeekanO Cabin MAP ID: A-1 DESIGNATION: ADDRESS: Fred Henne Territorial Park CURRENT OWNER: GNWT Industry, Tourism and Investment OCCUPANT: None CURRENT USE: None BUILT: 1939 CONSTRUCTION: . Log cabin DESCRIPTIVE HISTORY: This cabin was built by prospectors Jim Turner and Morris Evans in 1939 from logs that were cut and floated down the Yellowknife River, and erected on the east side of Latham Island. This land was unsurveyed in the 1940s-1950s (adjacent to Lot 26, Block 153), but later became Lot 5, Block 202, located near the public boat launch just off Otto Drive (Turner Point). Jock McMeekan acquired the cabin, possibly from George Blyler, and it was from here that he and his wife Mildred (Hall) McMeekan produced The Yellowknife Blade newspaper which began in October 1940. McMeekan lived in Yellowknife and wrote the newspaper sporadically until he left for Uranium City, Saskatchewan in 1953. Bill Louitit was the owner of the cabin from 1965 to the 1980s. Beatrice & Pat Woods were living here in the 1970s. Susan Cross was the owner of the cabin in the early 1990s. Plans were made to redevelop the lot and remove the log cabin, which required significant work to make it livable again. The City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee took the lead to find it a new home, and a call went out to anybody with an interest or a plan for relocating and restoring the old log cabin.

  • Notes on the Mammals of the Mackenzie District, Northwest Territories A
    NOTES ON THE MAMMALS OF THE MACKENZIE DISTRICT, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES A. W. F. Banfield* LTHOUGH thereare several accounts of the mammals of the Mackenzie A District, notably those of Preble (1908), Porsild (1945), and Clarke (1940), such literature is stillsufficiently scarce for the following notes on the distribution of mammals to be worth recording. The observations were made in the course of other field investigations undertaken in the Northwest Territories since 1946 for the Canadian Wildlife Service. A preliminary investigation of the muskrat resources of the Mackenzie delta was carried out between 15 July and 17 August 1946. At this time brief observations were made at the airfields in the Mackenzie valley. In the delta, camps were established at Aklavik, the Reindeer Station, and Richards Island.Small mammal trapswere set at the Reindeer Station. In 1948 and 1949 extensive field work was undertaken in connection with the barren ground caribou investigation (Banfield, 1950), and much informa- tion was obtained from numerous low levelflights over the eastern part of the Mackenzie District. Throughout the summer field trips I was assisted by Mr. A. L. Wilk. Intensive studies and smallmammal trapping was carried outat the following stations for the periods listed: Clinton-Colden Lake, 6 July-3 September 1948; Muskox Lake, 19-23 July 1948; Yellowknife, 21 April-2 May 1949; Fort Smith, 18-25 June 1949; Fort Reliance, 25 June-11 July 1949; Bathurst Inlet, 12 July-1August 1949; Contwoyto Lake, 1-20 August 1949. During the summer of 1948 two canoe trips were made from Clinton-Colden Lake, one on the Back River and the other on the Hanbury River.
