To insure that Nova Scotia's forests are harvested in a sustainable way, its growth and quality is enhanced through the use of silviculture techniques. Some of the silviculture treatments tested, surveyed and reported on include shelter wood, and seed tree harvests, plantations, vegetation management, pre-commercial thinning, and crop-tree-release. Silviculture guides are included here to keep industry actors well informed about the newest best management principles.
Harvesting is the most visible and influential forest management activity. It provides supplies of timber to businesses for production of wood based products while also influencing the ability of the future forest to regenerate and thrive. Harvesting systems can be categorized into two general areas: Even-aged methods such as clear-cutting, shelter wood and commercial thinning and uneven-aged management systems such as individual-tree and group selection methods.
The federal statute that provides First Nations with the option of managing and regulating oil and gas exploration and exploitation on their reserve lands and of receiving moneys otherwise held for them by Canada.
The purpose of this Information Letter is to provide an overview of the oil royalty calculation process for companies (lessees) who have entered into subsurface contracts, normally lease agreements, with Indian Oil and Gas Canada (IOGC) and for companies who are paying oil royalties to IOGC (royalty payers) on behalf of these lessees. More detailed information on specific aspects of the calculation process can be found in other Information Letters referred to in this document.
An integrated, stream of project-based design clinic courses through all four-years of the program provides students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through working on real community and industry-based projects. Traditional content courses are delivered via an integrated and timely approach so that professional practice skills are developed in a simulated workplace environment.
