"The greatest land geographer who ever lived." J.B.Tyrell A SHORT HISTORY
Wood Carving David Thompson Visitor Centre
Rocky Mountain House It was the North Saskatchewan River that brought to Rocky Mountain House the greatest of land geographers and one of Canada's great explorers. Indeed the North Saskatchewan bore witness to many encounters Thompson had with the Peigan and Blackfoot Indians who made a special crusade of denying the passes to traders bent on crossing. David Thompson warranted special attention by these Indians. Thompson was believed to have special powers by the Indians. One example of this is related in The North Saskatchewan River 1972 White Water report. "The remaining three miles to Saskatchewan Crossing are easy paddling, for the river again widens into a larger channel. It was in this vicinity in 1810 that David Thompson's party was attacked by a Peigan ( Blackfoot) war party determined to stop Thompson from going through the mountain passes. Fortunately for Thompson, three grizzlies suddenly appeared on the scene. Since the Peigans and most of the Tribes who met David Thompson, believed that bears were Thompson's supernatural protectors, Thompson and his men were able to escape. The Indians named Thompson koo-koo-sint, " You who Look at the Stars," from his constant use of his sextant which the Indians saw as possessed of special powers.

    Secondly, the lengthy quarantine process required for many fruit species has discouraged breeders from introducing new germplasm. Clones are usually retained for virus testing at the Quarantine Center at Glenn Dale, Maryland for 6 to 10 years. Many do not survive at the Center due either to propagation failures, cultural problems or, diseases such as fireblight on pears and apples. However, progress in facilitating movement of plants through quarantine is promised now that this facility is being managed jointly by the National Germplasm Resources Laboratory (NGRL) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the USDA (APHIS) and more funds and staff are being allocated for this important facet of plant introduction.

    The Purpose of the Mars Society
    The Mars Society of Canada has a mandate from its members and supporters to promote and advance the cause of the Exploration and Discovery of Mars. See our Founding Declaration in English ou en Français Why Mars? Mars is far enough away to be a challenge, while close enough in cosmic terms for this generation to explore it. In comparable terms, it is to this generation what Antarctica was to the generation of the early 1900's. Mars is a planet known to be similar to Earth. It has abundant resources allowing for human survival on its surface by technological means. It serves as a example of a planet undergoing a greenhouse effect without human influence, thus allowing scientists to discover more about how the greenhouse effect changes the Earth's climate. Like Earth, Mars is in an interglacial period that can teach us more about Earth's geological and climatic past, present and future. Comparing all the differences and similarities of two planets is called Comparative Planetology . This discipline is a key modern technique for advancing our understanding of terrestrial systems. Canada's far north is a terrain geologically similar to much of Mars, with its glacial geomophology and permafrost subsurface. This makes Canadian expertise in northern environments a valuable base from which to learn and explore Mars.

    The world’s top ten energy companies are failing to find enough new crude to replenish their reserves... Wood Mackenzie [has studied] the industry’s top ten and the consultancy has concluded they are finding fewer barrels."
    North Sea exploration a loser, say oil experts
    London Times, 26 January 2004
    "Our industry can certainly be proud of its past achievements. Yet the challenges we will face in the coming years will be every bit as great as those encountered in the past, due in part to ever-increasing global energy use. For example, we estimate that world oil and gas production from existing fields is declining at an average rate of about 4 to 6 percent a year. To meet projected demand in 2015, the industry will have to add about 100 million oil-equivalent barrels a day of new production. That's equal to about 80 percent of today's production level. In other words, by 2015, we will need to find, develop and produce a volume of new oil and gas that is equal to eight out of every 10 barrels being produced today

Their motivations vary from the desire for wealth and fame to a quest for knowledge. Some expeditions are more successful and others more dangerous, but all are interesting! By completing this unit, the student will have met the following expectations of the Ontario Curriculum Grades 1 - 6 - Social Studies : Grade 6 Aboriginal Peoples and European Explorers. -identify early explorers (e.g., Viking, French, English) who established settlements in Canada and explain the reasons for their exploration (e.g., fishing; fur trade, resulting in the establishment of the Hudson's Bay Company); -identify technological developments and cultural factors that led to the exploration of North America; -identify some of the consequences of Aboriginal and European interactions (e.g., economic impact of the fur trade on Aboriginal peoples; transmission of European diseases to Aboriginal peoples). -construct and read a variety of graphs, charts, diagrams, maps, and models for specific purposes (e.g., to trace the routes of the explorers);

    David G Anderson
    He has been called the world’s greatest land geographer. Certainly no man of his time saw the rivers, islands and peoples of the western reaches of our continent with a vision so clear. His precision maps remained the official maps of western Canada for a hundred years and his perceptive writings have enabled us to see the aboriginal peoples of the early fur trade and to know the ways of a world long since vanished. Yet, less than a hundred years ago, his name was known only to a few. Even today, there is no known portrait of David Thompson and we remain unable to picture him other than by dwelling on his known similarity to two other historical figures: John Bunyan and John Philpot Curran. A Welsh boy at Hudson’s Bay In 1784, as a 14-year-old Welsh boy in London’s Grey Coat charity school, David Thompson accepted an apprenticeship with the Hudson’s Bay Company to learn inland surveying at the remote fur trade posts of Hudson’s Bay.

    AMUNDSEN, ROALD
    Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) was a Norwegian polar explorer who was the first person to fly over the North Pole in a dirigible (May 11-13, 1926) and was the first person to reach the South Pole. Amundsen and his small expedition reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, traveling by dog sled. Amundsen was also the first person to sail around the world through the Northeast and Northwest passages, from the Atlantic to the Pacific (in 1905). He was the first person to reach both the North and South Poles. Amundsen died in a plane crash attempting to rescue his friend, the Italian explorer Umberto Nobile who was lost in an airship.

    John Cabot (1450-1499) was an Italian-born English explorer and navigator. In Italy, he is known as Giovanni Caboto (which is his original name).

    Explorers from the 1700's - the Eighteenth Century
    ANZA, JUAN BAUTISTA DE

    Captain Juan Bautista de Anza (1736-1788) was a Mexican-born trailblazer and explorer. He was the first person of European descent to establish an overland trail from Mexico to the northern Pacific coast of California (then called New Albion). He found a corridor through the desolate Sonoran Desert. His expeditions brought hundreds of settlers to California. He founded the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose. De Anza was the commander of the presidio at Tubac. BERING, VITUS J.
    Vitus Jonassen Bering (1681-1741) was a Danish explorer and navigator who explored the seas off Alaska and northeastern Siberia. Bering was a sublieutenant in the fleet of Tsar Peter I the Great of Russia. From 1725-1730, Bering led an expedition to determine whether or not Asia and North America were connected by a land bridge. Bering sailed through what is now known as the Bering Strait, finding a sea route around Siberia to China. He concluded that Asia and North America were not connected (although he did not actually see North America due to fog).
