Research suggests two parks proposed for the southwestern corner of Alberta are already so heavily used they're becoming useless to the grizzly bears they are supposed to protect.
Analysis of the latest satellite imagery suggests less than half of the proposed Castle Wildland Park has enough undisturbed habitat to support the bears. Almost none of a provincial park planned for the same area has any secure habitat left, despite the region being considered a key link for grizzlies between British Columbia and Montana.
"It's great that the government of Alberta is turning this into a special place with two parks," said Wynet Smith of Global Forest Watch, which conducted the study. "But it's evident from the data that there's a lot of restoration required."

Ste-Catherine-de-Hatley, QC - A new era of sanctioned racing in Canada has begun, with the very first CCC sanctioned rollerski race, Challenge Volvo 2016, hosted by Orford Ski Club on Saturday.
"Thanks to Club de ski de fond du Mont Orford for an amazing event and having dared to be the first club in Canada to organize a CCC sanctioned roller ski race! Feedback from the athletes has been amazing and they want to do more! It just shows how fun a well organized roller ski event can be the recipe to get more cross country ski athletes excited about training specifically in the summer and validating their progress during our long off season. In the long run, it can only help our country catch up with Europe and Scandinavian countries in particular, where by the way you can sign up for a roller ski race somewhere every weekend... Who’s next for hosting a roller ski race?, said Stéphane Barrette, CCC Director of Athlete & Coach Development.

The Cumberland Snowmobile Association, with their counterparts in Sackville, N.B., were working on opening at the corridor between then two provinces when Trans Canada Trail started vetting interest to close the gap between the two. The primary challenge, project manager and Cumberland Snowmobile Club member Andrew Wallis says, was the terrain.
