This week, when winds gusted over 50 km/hr across much of Alberta and B.C., CEC was called to respond to a train that was literally pushed off a 200-m long trestle bridge spanning the Battle River, near Wainright, Alberta. Read More

The Lytton tragedy strikes close to home. An undeniable reality of our current crisis.
As part of a team working to rebuild local infrastructure destroyed by the wildfire, we are keenly aware it cannot bring back what the community has lost - everything.
Sending support and prayers to all of Lytton, and beyond.

May 2021 Cornice Calendar Photo Spot!
The stunning Cairnes Glacier Falls, Upper Blaeberry River Valley.
Have you been there?
This view is from the Mount Mummery Glacier trail near Golden, BC. The falls are meltwater from the glacier below Mount Cairnes at 3,081 m elevation. Although the rock face looks barren and static there is a lot going on from physical and chemical weathering processes to the growth of bacteria, algae and other plant and insect communities. Cliffs like these are also used for nesting and are favoured by Common Raven (Corvus corax).

It's Earth Day!
🌍
"When one tugs at a single thing in Nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world."
We will be taking time away from our desks today to be outdoors. Taking in nature and the beautiful spaces we live in.
What will you do today?

And just like that, it's April! Representing this month is a Cornice Calendar favourite - the American Pika. Be sure to pop over to our website and vote for next year's calendar photos - yes, there is a Pika! (Link in bio!)
This Pika (Ochotona princeps), was spotted along the Glacier Crest Trail, in Glacier National Park, BC. That high-pitched pee-ka sound you hear in rocky areas of the high mountains could be one of these small “rock rabbits”. They always seem to be busy stacking “hay” and other edibles deep in the rocks where they remain active throughout the winter in tunnels beneath several feet of insulating snow. They are ventriloquists so you may have to sit quietly and let one come to you before you spot them.
