ABSTRACT The Human History of the Yellowhead Comdor: Recommendations for a Cultural Interpretive Program for Jasper National Park Susan Alexandra Jane de Caen November, 1997 prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree in the Faculty of Environmental Design. The University of Calgary Walter Jamieson Jasper National Park consists of 10,878 square kilornetres of protected lands along the eastern dope of west-central Alberta's Rocky Mountains. This thesis identifies the need for a cultural interpretive program alonp the Yellowhead Corridor within this park and develops recommendations for how this need might be filled. A conceptual frarnework of the topic of interpretation is provided. and this background is used as a bais for assessment of Jasper National Park's interpretive needs. Based on this assessment. the Yellowhead Comdor is identified as the area of the park most in need of interpretive opponunities. The scope of the project extends to incorporate the gateway communities of Hinton. Alberta and Valemount. British Columbia. With the theme defined as the Human History of the Yellowhead Comdor. and interpretive program objectives designed to increasc visitor awareness of the significance of relationships between humas and the natural resources of the Yellowhead Comdor. design and layout recornmendations for a cultural interpretive program for the park are presented. Key Words Al berta Automobile guide British Columbia History Interpretation Jasper National Park Prehistory YeIIowhead Corridor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people and institutions provided assistance and suppon that made the completion of this Master's Degree Project possible. My cornmittee served a key role. 1 would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Walter Jamieson for his patience and the encouragement he provided from the start. My extemal committee member. Dr. Dianne Draper. also provided many hours of support, in many cases far beyond the cal1 of duty . 1 am also indebted to Dr. Bill Ross for the many red marks that (or is that which?) he used to point me in the nght direction. I believe. because of their input. my committee allowed me to produce a more professional document. Financial support came from several institutions. Parks Canada provided a generous grant to cover costs incurred through the entire project. Alberta Historical Resources Foundation provided funds to coïer travel to and frorn. and costs incurred while in the Jasper area. In addition. the Faculty of Environmental Design provided a partial GRS. 1 would like to thank Sandy Aumonier for the words of wisdom she had as an EVDS alumnist and the backing she provided in getting this project off the ground. Many thanks go to Rod Wallace.

It is bordered on the north by Alberta's Wilmore Wildemess Provincial Park, on the West by British Columbia's Mount Robson and Hamber Provincial Parks, on the south by Banff National Park, and on the east by Alberta's Rocky Mountain Forest Reserve and Bighom Wildland Recreation Area. Not only is Jasper National Park a nature preserve of great proportions. it is also home to cultural resources dating back at least 9.000 years. Gentilcore (1 978) assessed Canadian national parks histoncal themes: with the central criterion being hurnan interaction with the land. He recognized that not only do humans alter the environrnents they choose to occupy. the resources offered them by the land influence their use of these environments. The human history of Jasper National Park exemplifies many interactions between humans and the land. In identifying nationally signiticant thernes and subthemes representative of human interaction with the land. Gentilcore (1978) determined that Jasper National Park provided representation of the following themes and subthemes: Theme Subtheme Native Entry and Senlement Post glacial settlement Post contact native settlement European Entry Exploration and mapping The early fur trade Resource Utilization Farming the land Resource conservation Transpon Developrnent Land transportation (rail and road) Although not recognized by Gentilcore (1978). mining (a subtheme of the resource u:i 1ization theme) is also well-represented in Jasper National Park. Canadian National Parks objectives. defined in the Jasper Park Management Plan (Environment Canada 1988) 1 ) allow for the 'protection and preservation of [natural and cultural] resources"; and 2) enable the "appreciation. understanding. and enjoyment of the parks, their facilities and senices". Together. these objectives recognize culnual resources interpretation as an important Canadian National Parks expenence. Providing the public with interpretive opportunities that supply information on Jasper National Park's cultural history, while hishing insight into past hurnan use of flora. fauna, and non-renewable resources present within the park ha the potential

Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

  • Growth and Morphometry of the Pygmy Whitefish
    GROWTH AND MORPHOMETRY OF THE PYGMY WHITEFISH (PROSOPIUM COULTERI) INBRITISH COLUMBIA by PETER JAMES MCCART B.A. The University of Oregon, 1958 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 1963 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Institute of Fisheries Department of Zoology The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada 6 September 1963 i ABSTRACT The present study is, in part, a description of meristic variation in the pygmy whitefish, Prosopium coulteri, of British Columbia fish with those of other areas. The species was shown to be highly variable meristically both within and between populations. There are indications in some characters of a north-south cline of meristic counts. One character (gill raker counts) seems to form a V-shaped curve of variation. The major part of the study is a comparison of the growth and relative growth of fish from four British Columbia lakes. The two "giant" forms from MacLure and McLeese Lakes are more like one another in relative growth than like either of the two dwarf forms inhabiting Cluculz Lake or Tacheeda Lake.

  • 2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report
    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.

  • Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003
    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.
