    Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia the Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’S Watershed

    Dalhousie University- Environmental Science Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia The Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’s Watershed By: Gillian Fielding Supervisor: Shannon Sterling Submitted for ENVS 4901- Environmental Science Honours Abstract Loss of connectivity throughout river systems is one of the most serious effects dams impose on migrating fish species. I examine the extent and dates of aquatic habitat loss due to dam construction in two key salmon regions in Nova Scotia: Inner Bay of Fundy (IBoF) and the Southern Uplands (SU). This work is possible due to the recent progress in the water control structure inventory for the province of Nova Scotia (NSWCD) by Nova Scotia Environment. Findings indicate that 586 dams have been documented in the NSWCD inventory for the entire province. The most common main purpose of dams built throughout Nova Scotia is for hydropower production (21%) and only 14% of dams in the database contain associated fish passage technology. Findings indicate that the SU is impacted by 279 dams, resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 3,008 km of stream length, equivalent to 9.28% of the total stream length within the SU. The most extensive amount of loss occurred from 1920-1930. The IBoF was found to have 131 dams resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 1, 299 km of stream length, equivalent to 7.1% of total stream length. The most extensive amount of upstream habitat loss occurred from 1930-1940. I also examined if given what I have learned about the locations and dates of dam installations, are existent fish population data sufficient to assess the impacts of dams on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia? Results indicate that dams have caused a widespread upstream loss of freshwater habitat in Nova Scotia howeverfish population data do not exist to examine the direct impact of dam construction on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia.

    CAUL-CBUA Member Updates - Revised prepared for the Board of Directors Winter 2018 Meeting February 27, 2018 Acadia University Strategic Planning at the Vaughan Memorial Library • The community outreach aspect of our planning process is currently underway. In November, the Acadia Community provided 1203 responses to two questions: “How should the Vaughan Memorial Library change?” and “Describe a high point (or high points) in your experience of the Vaughan Memorial Library.” Our team of four students is now busy analyzing responses and progressing us to the next stage of our outreach process. Staffing • We said goodbye to Scott Olszowiec. We are in the process of hiring a Web & User Experience Specialist. Services/Initiatives Fit Bikes • We are currently trialing three fit bikes in the Vaughan Memorial Library (VML). Nolan Turnbull, a current Kinesiology student at Acadia, obtained a grant to purchase the fit bikes and requested they be located in the VML due to the importance and popularity of the VML as a student space and our Study Happy initiative. Acadia Reads Initiative • The events surrounding our book are proving to be extremely popular. Our multi-disciplinary panel held in the newly renovated Student Union lounge was well attended. Five panelists approached 13 Ways of Looking At A Fat Girl through the lens of their discipline. The VML Quiet Reading Room was similarly packed as we hosted a documentary screening and discussion of The Illusionists, directed and written by Elena Rossini. Mona Awad will be visiting the campus in March 2017! 1 • Our 2017/18-selection committee has drawn up our short-list.

    Tranas-Canada Trail Alignments, Truro-Halifax and Elmsdale to Gibraltar, Ns

    Environmentally sustainable development Recreational Multi-Use Trails TRANAS-CANADA TRAIL ALIGNMENTS, TRURO-HALIFAX AND ELMSDALE TO GIBRALTAR, NS Lake Fletcher FLETCHER LAKE SSC Lock 4 FALL RIVER Fall River Lake Thomas The Trans-Canada Trail concept was developed by the “Canada 125” Committee as a legacy project that would benefit all of Canada by providing a hiking/bicycle trail linking the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The primary goal of the Trans-Canada Trail (TCT) Foundation was to establish the coast-coast trail system by 2010, with subsequent phases to extend and enhance the trail opportunities (see www.tctrail.ca). In Nova Scotia, the extensive system of abandoned railway alignments have been rehabilitated to create “trails from rails”. However, this system has not been able to address the primary goal of the TCT to link the three oceans and the provincial capitals. While multi-use trails are widely accepted, their construction and use can harm the natural environment. OCL Group was retained to identify alignments and assess environmental impacts, so that approximately 125 km of new trail could be constructed within an environmentally sustainable development philosophy. OCL identified alignments for the TCT between Truro and Halifax via the Shubenacadie River valley and lake system, also known as the Shubenacadie Corridor. The latter also provides a natural and modified waterway/canal system linking Halifax Harbour with Minas Basin. Thus the Trail alignment complements the Waterway route. In addition, a Trail alignment to connect the Shubenacadie Corridor with an existing TCT Trail linking Halifax via the eastern shore to Gibraltar (Musquodoboit Valley).
  • Annual Report

    Annual Report

    ANNUAL REPORT April 1st, 2014 - March 31st, 2015 The Shubenacadie Canal The largest part of the Shubenacadie Canal system was shaped 12,000 years ago, as the last great Ice Age departed. It left in its wake a remarkable land and river chain that connected the Bay of Fundy with Halifax Harbour. It became a major highway for Nova Scotia’s first inhabitants. In 1797, the Nova Scotia Legislature voted funds to survey the system with the possibility of constructing a trade waterway along the system, but it was not until 1824 that Francis Hall submitted plans and estimates for a canal. Lord Dalhousie, the Governor General of the day, turned the first sod on July 25th, 1826, and started the largest construction project undertaken up to that time in Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, construction problems and a lack of funds brought a close to the endeavor before its completion and it was not until 1854 that the work could begin again. Seven years later in 1861 the Canal vessel, the Avery, made the first complete journey from Harbor to Bay thus officially opening the 115 kilometer long waterway. The waterway operated until 1871 until the railway restricted usage. After sitting idle for 114 years, the Province of Nova Scotia realized its heritage potential and the then Minister of Development, The Honorable Roland Thornhill, signed an agreement in 1984 to begin restoration of features of canal system. That work continues today. 1 Mandate of the Commission The Shubenacadie Canal Commission (SCC) was created by an act of the Legislature in 1986 (amended in 2007) to: ``Oversee and further promote the Shubenacadie Canal System including the operation of any information or interpretative centers pertaining to or belonging to the Shubenacadie Canal System.`` The SCC consists of a volunteer board of 15 members that are assigned by the Province, Halifax Regional Municipality, as well representatives from Colchester and East Hants counties.
