1984
– Highlights The
Office of the Director General is responsible for ensuring the implementation
of Departmental and Ocean Science and Surveys policy and guidelines in the
Region, providing management direction for Regional responsibility centres,
and for the coordination of Regional response to requests for information
concerning resources, operational planning and reviews, environmental reviews
and positions, and general administration. Each
year, there are a number of resource and operational planning and review
reports requiring Regional input. This
year was no exception, with Departmental Work Planning and Long-Term
Operational Plans, DFO’s Northern Activities Report to the Northwest
Territories Coordinating Committee (Department of Indian and Northern Affairs
(DIAND) Annual Northern Expenditures Plan) and the Federal Science
Expenditures Survey. In addition,
BLMSS prepared a submission outlining the activities for each of the thirteen
Regional Responsibility Centres under the Deputy Prime Minister’s Task Team
on Government Operations (Nielson Task Force). The
Region serves on the Department’s Arctic Offshore Development Committee (ARCOD)
through which it contributed to DFO’s response to the Beaufort Sea Project
Panel Report, DFO’s Position Statement on Lancaster Sound Development, and
the Department’s position on Panarctic’s Bent Horn crude oil development
project. The
emphasis of the Region’s hydrographic program in the south is in support of
commercial shipping operating in the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System
and International charting agreements. During
1984, seven field parties located throughout the System collected hydrographic
data for the production and updating of charts and related publications.
This included a contract survey of four lakes on Manitoulin Island that
will primarily benefit the local tourist industry.
The Great Lakes commercial shipping industry also relies on water level
information collected and published by the Region. In
the Arctic, bathymetric surveys are carried out in cooperation with other
government departments primarily in support of offshore development projects
of the oil and gas industry, and for ensuring safe access by Department of
Transport supply vessels to coastal communities.
In 1984, the Region carried out a through-the-ice survey of Prince
Regent Inlet, and a survey of a shipping corridor to the new Inuit community
of Umiujaq on the east shore of Hudson Bay. An
airborne electromagnetic system is being developed that will measure
continuous profiles in ice-covered waters.
Ice thickness and water conductivity will also be measured.
A helicopter will tow a “bird”, which contains transmitting and
receiving coils, 30 metres above the ice.
The program is being implemented in four stages.
Phase 1, the preliminary design stage, was completed during the summer
of 1984. Phase 2 is in progress to
design and assemble data acquisition hardware, and to develop hardware and
software to process the data. Phase 3 of the contract, to conduct airborne
tests near Dartmouth, will take place during the summer of 1985.
The system will be modified as necessary after the trials.
Phase 4 will take place in the Arctic, where operational trials will be
carried out during the 1986 Polar Continental Shelf Project. Central
Region continued its annual participation in the Toronto International Boat
Show. The 1984 display featured
new products available to the public. These
included Loran-C charts of the Great Lakes; the first edition of the Small
Craft Guide to the Rideau Waterway and Ottawa River; and harbour charts of
Georgian Bay under contract on a new chart format. Field
Hydrography The
1984 Arctic survey of Prince Regent Inlet focused on collecting bathymetry and
gravity (Cart 7053). A ten-parcoll
camp was erected at Creswell Bay to provide an operations base for twelve
hydrographic and ten helicopter personnel.
From this base, a full coverage program was effected, to collect depths
at a 2-km grid spacing, and gravity at 6-km grid spacing.
The primary positioning system was Syledis Sercel.
It was used in a hyperbolic/ranging mode.
This system was augmented by MiniRanger III.
Sot depths were obtained using Edo 9040 sounders.
Data were plotted on 1:200,000 field sheets with 9627 spot soundings
and 1021 gravity measurements being obtained.
Additionally, 40 depth and gravity measurements were taken in Peel
Sound. The program received
considerable support from the Polar Continental Shelf Project division of
Energy Mines and Resources, principally in the form of aircraft hours and
fuel. This included 1500
helicopter hours, 175 Twin Otter aircraft hours, and 130 Hawker Siddley 748
hours. Five Bell 206B helicopters
were used to collect data. They
were contracted by PCSP from Quasar Helicopters, B.C.
The survey was very successful, particularly with respect to
implementing the Syledis positioning system.
The system was worked to ranges of 120 km, and calibrations indicated
an accuracy of +/- 2o metres. The
Hudson Bay, Nastapoka Sound survey concentrated on providing a safe shipping
corridor into the new Eskimo village of Umiujaq (144 km northeast by north of
Poste-de-la-Baleine on the east coast of Hudson Bay, (Lat. 56-30, Chart 5706).
Shell Oil requested a detailed hydrographic survey of the approach
waters, in order to bring a tanker safely into the community in late August.
Thus, four hydrographers and seven support personnel set up a survey
base at Umiujaq and sounded the offshore (1:50,000), approach (1:25,000) and
harbour (1:10,000) waters. Four
field sheets were completed. These
included 6914 km of line sounding and 280 shoal examinations.
Two launches, an 11-metre Nelson and a 7-metre Hourston were deployed
on the sounding work. Positioning
was by Mini-Ranger, coupled to a NavBox. Depth
data were digitized from Ross 801, and 200A sounders.
All data were processed ashore using a computer-driven processing
package. The survey extended from
mid-July to mid-September. A
Ministry of Transport Bell 206B helicopter supported the project, and expended
186 hours on various tasks. Because
the Region was unable to obtain a dedicated DOT ship, the survey had to be
shore-based. All gear was moved
northward by land, sea and air transport.
The launches were trucked to Fort George then launched and steamed 320
km to Umiujaq. Personnel,
equipment and fuel were air freighted to the village. The
1984 St. Lawrence River survey operated from base camps at Iroquois Lock and
Chrysler Park Marina. The survey
included both USA and Canadian river waters between the Iroquois Lock and
Wilson Hill Island (Chart 1415). Five
1:5,000, and one 1:10,000 field sheets were completed.
In addition to re-surveying the river, all fixed and floating navaids
were positioned. Sounding launches
included 6-metre Botveds, and 5-metre Boston Whalers.
Ross 801 sounders were used for depth information and positioning was
by Mini-Ranger, in range/bearing mode, and by Hydrodist MRB 201.
The survey data will augment a modern-technology source data bank
extending upriver to Kingston. The
North Channel Survey continued a program to re-survey sections of the North
Channel west of Little Current, where the hydrographic data are inadequate or
dated, lessening their usefulness for new charts.
A fourteen-person survey team worked out of a base at Little Current.
Two 1:1,000 and one 1:5,000 field sheets were completed.
Hourston launches, equipped with Ross 801 sounders, Mini-Ranger
receivers, and NavBox data loggers, and handled most of the work.
The digitized depth data were based processed using a PDP 11/23 field
processor. Twelve Navaids,
consisting of four fixed and eight floating aids were positioned.
The survey was supported substantially by a helicopter, which flew 258
hours on various tasks. The
St. Mary’s River Survey was a continuation of a project to re-survey
navigable waters between the North Channel and Sault Ste. Marie.
This year’s effort started at Little Lake George, about nine
kilometres down river from Sault Ste. Marie, and progressed up river towards
the Canadian Sault locks. Field
sheets of the river were detailed at a 1:5,000 scale, with wharf and lock
complexes at the Sault detailed at a 1:1,000 scale.
Nine field sheets were completed. Supplemental
tasks assigned to this survey included a wharf survey at Bruce Mines, a
horizontal control survey to resolve a discrepancy between USA and Canadian
values for identical survey marks, and a managerial responsibility for a
Search and Rescue component. The
survey was based at Sault Ste. Marie, and embraced six staff plus nine crew.
The survey relied mainly on 6-metre Botveds and 5-metre Boston Whalers
for most of the sounding. The
primary sounder was the Ross 801 portable.
Positioning was range/bearing using either Mini-Ranger III, Hydrodist
MRD-1, or Microfix. The
Lake Ontario Harbours Survey continued a program to re-survey strategic
harbours at a quantitative level suitable for the new harbour chart format.
The survey started at Deseronto and moved, upon completion,
progressively to Prinyer Cove, Picton, and Belleville.
Field sheets were detailed at 1:2,500 in the approaches, and at 1:1,000
in the harbour. A feature of the
survey was the successful adaptation of automated logging and processing to
large-scale survey work. Sounding
equipment was primarily Ross 801. Positioning
was by Hydrodist MRD-1 in a range/range mode and by Microfix-Wild T-2000 in a
range/bearing mode. Data were
NavBox logged and processed using the PDP 11/23 field-processing package.
In addition the hydrographer-in-charge managed a Search and Rescue
component. The
Revisory Survey responded to Marine Information Reports, Ministry of Transport
requests, cartography queries, Small Craft Harbours requirements, plus a
Regional program of systematically updating and revising charts.
The basic revision program centered on the Trent-Severn System, Lake
Simcoe and Owen Sound harbour. Auxiliary
tasks extended from Windsor to Valleyfield, P.Q. and northward to Tobermory
and the Muskoka Lakes. Eight
navigational lights were positioned for Ministry of Transport, a marina was
sounded for Small Craft Harbours, and buoys positioned and channels
investigated for Parks Canada. Manitoulin
Island Contract Survey – From funds provided by Small Craft Harbours
Directorate, Central Region generated specifications, evaluated Department of
Supply and Services Requests for Proposals, and recommended a contract to
Cansite Survey, Alberta, for a hydrographic survey of four lakes on Manitoulin
Island. The survey began in early
May, and extended into September. Lakes
Mindemoya, Wolsey, Manitou and Kagawong were surveyed at a 1:10,000 scale to
meet Standing Orders criteria. The
resulting charts will primarily benefit the local tourist industry.
The progress and quality of the survey was regularly monitored by a
Central Region Scientific Authority, who checked their data and recommended
procedures to improve the efficiency of the survey.
All fieldwork was completed to Central Region’s satisfaction by
mid-September. Central
Region supported a Loran-C calibration program initiated by CHS Headquarters.
Support came in the form of a vessel – CSS ADVENT – personnel, and
a helicopter for a two-week period June 11-17.
Calibrations prevailed over eleven different areas of Lake Superior,
extending from Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie, The Loran-C readings were
calibrated against positions derived from a Trisponder system set up ashore on
controlled survey marks. Ships
and Launches At
the end of 1984, the Ship Division fleet consisted of three ships, ten
launches between 10 and 16 metres, thirty launches between 6 and 10 metres and
58 smaller boats. During the year,
LIMNOS took part in two “Tall Ships” events, one in Toronto and one in
Burlington. Over 15,000 people
visited the ship during these events. As
always, the marine workshop had a busy and productive year.
Apart from the normal repair, maintenance and modifications necessary
on the existing fleet, 11 diesel engines, 18 gasoline engines, 90 outboard
motors, and 45 lower units were re-built. Four
new 7-metre Hourston launches were received in 1984, giving us a total of
eight. These launches performed
well in the field and proved to be productive and economical to operate.
Two types of 5-metre inshore sounding boats (MASON and McKEE) were
bought for field testing as possible replacement for our aging fleet of Boston
Whalers. Reports were favourable
and we are going ahead, through the Vessel Acquisition and Strategic Plan, to
pursue this replacement policy. Several
old boats, including CSL AQUA and HYDRO I, were assigned to Crown Assets. CSS
ADVENT was involved in a three week Loran-C calibration survey in Lake
Superior. Ship
Division supported shore-based surveys with the following craft: Hudson
Bay Survey – NAUTILUS, WEAVER and 1 Aluminum boat St.
Lawrence River Survey – HUNT, HUSTLE, LAB I, WHISTLER, MASON I, 2 Boston

Production Two
new acquisitions, a rapid access film processor and a Comp-Edit 5810
Typesetter, in conjunction with a chart-printing contract, contributed to the
enhancement of Chart Production capabilities at Central Region in 1984.
The completion of six charts under contract by two private charting
firms, Terra Surveys Limited of Ottawa and Intercontinental Maps and Charts
Ltd. of Toronto, aided in the production of new charts.
The awarding of two 1984/85 contracts to produce four harbour charts of
Lake Ontario and two standard navigational charts of the St. Joseph Channel
area in northern Lake Huron for completion in early 1985 is a continuation of
Central Region’s emphasis on production of New Charts.
Additionally, it reflects the Region’s interest in having private
industry participating in charting activities. Rescheming
and formatting of the Region’s charts continued.
Agreement was reached for some limited alterations to confluence charts
in Lake Ontario. New Charts were
schemed to achieve consistent Canadian coverage with the confluence areas for
Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron. The
St. Mary’s River 1:25,000 scale charts were approved for production, and
agreement and approval obtained for five North Channel charts.
Georgian Bay was reschemed at a scale of 1:20,000, north oriented, and
paper size AO replaced the existing strip charts covering the area. Chart
production output included six New Charts under contract, 12 New Editions and
3 patches. As well 32 New Chart
projects are being worked on. Another
34 New Editions are being worked on, as are 4 Patch projects. CHS

– Highlights Since
the compilation of this Annual Review, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
has completed the integration of its science activities and made some changes
to regional operations. As a
result of these changes, a new Central and Arctic Region has been created
headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The
Central and Arctic Region now contains a single science organization
representing the integrated hydrographic and fisheries research programs at
the Bayfield Laboratory, the Great Lakes Fisheries Research Branch in
Burlington and the Freshwater Institute in Winnipeg.
The hydrographic program of the Bayfield Laboratory for Marine Science
and Surveys, the fisheries research program of the Great Lakes Fisheries
Research Branch and the administrative and ship support for both of these
programs have been combined to form the Bayfield Institute of DFO, located in
the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, Burlington, Ontario. The
calendar year of 1985 can be characterized as a year of change and uncertainty
within DFO. By year-end, plans had
been completed under one planning element.
This meant that Ocean Science and Surveys would be combined with
Fisheries Research Branch to form a new Science Sector.
At the same time, the Department had implemented a program of resource
reduction, which resulted in a 3% reduction in the financial resources
available for the programs at the Bayfield Laboratory. Nevertheless,
the staff at the Bayfield Laboratory was able to successfully complete their
programs. The
issue of Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic Archipelago captured news
headlines this year with the voyage of the POLAR SEA through the Northwest
Passage. Part of Canada’s claim
to the Arctic is inexorably linked to the amount of government activity in the
North. The formation of the Polar
Continental Shelf Project of which CHS has played a major role since its
inception in 1958 is perhaps the best example of the Canadian Government’s
involvement in the Arctic. Central
Region continued to support this government priority by sponsoring two Arctic
surveys in 1985. In
Hudson Bay and the Arctic, the survival of small communities often depends on
the provision of food and fuel via the Annual Sealift during a very short
navigation season. The
availability of hydrographic information can be the determining factor for a
Sealift visit. For instance, the
community of Pelly Bay may receive its first Sealift as a result of a recent
Central Region hydrographic survey of the area. From
April 17-21, CCIW opened its doors to the general public.
Attendance at the five-day event reached 30,000 people (including an
estimated 10,000 students). The
public reaction to the Open House was positive and most people expressed
amazement at the variety and complexity of activities that were being carried
out by DFO and DOE at the Centre. The
1985 Toronto International Boat Show provided yet another opportunity for
hydrographers and cartographers to meet with the boating public to explain and
discuss CHS publications. During
the eleven-day event, show attendance reached 112,000 and 17,000 pamphlets
were distributed from the CHS booth. 1985
WAS A SIGNIFICANT YEAR FOR SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS IN Central Region.
Earl Brown, Ross Douglas, Barry Little, Dan MacKenzie, Bob Marshall and
Boyd Thorson all received acknowledgement for 25 years of Service in the
Federal Government. The Director
General Steve MacPhee was on hand to present the awards amidst a large
gathering of well wishers from the Centre. Field
Hydrography This
year’s Arctic survey was a continuation of the 1984 survey of Prince Regent
Inlet into the Gulf of Boothia. Soundings
were collected at 2-km intervals along the hyperbolic grid of the Decca 6F
positioning system. In addition,
gravity readings were taken at approximately 6 km intervals as part of a
cooperative project with DEMR. The
survey gathered 8,179 spot soundings and 785 gravity measurements. The
Arctic Arnott Strait survey was initiated at the request of Panarctic Oils
Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta who were planning to use the M.V. ARCTIC to ship
crude oil from their Cameron Island field to Rae Point.
This survey was carried out under contract to the McElhanney Group of
Calgary. Bell 206B helicopters
were used to collect a total of 13,286 spot soundings on a 2-km grid.
Sounding density was increased in the 19 shoal areas that were
examined. The
objective of the Kuujjuarapik (Poste-de-la-Baleine) survey is to delineate a
shipping corridor along the east coast of Hudson Bay from Inoucdjouac to the
western tip of Long Island. In
1985, the survey covered the waters in the vicinity of Kuujjuarapik including
the estuary of the Grand Riviere-de-la-Baleine.
Survey positioning was provided by a Mini-Ranger III in the
range/bearing mode and by Syledis in the range/range mode.
Bathymetry was collected with Ross 200A Fineline and Ross 801 sounders
and processed on shore with the PDP 11/73 data processing system. The
hydrographic survey of the St. Mary’s River is being conducted under the
auspices of the United States – Canada Hydrographic Commission.
The 1985 survey at Sault Ste. Marie completed a four-year survey of the
St. Mary’s River and St. Joseph’s Channel, which will provide the basis of
a new series of charts at a scale of 1:25,000.
In conjunction with the St. Mary’s River work, a detailed sounding
survey of the area between Sand Point and Batchawana Bay, Lake Superior was
also completed. All sounding was
collected with a Ross 801 Portable Sounder and lines were run in a
range/bearing mode using a Mini-Ranger III, a Tellurometer MRD-1, or a
Microfix 100C for positioning. In
preparation for a future survey, horizontal control was established in the
Lake Dinorwic and Wabigoon area of northwestern Ontario.
Six survey stations in the area were positioned by satellite
translocation from a Geodetic Survey of Canada station at Sioux Lookout some
80 km away. Conventional survey
techniques were used to complete the remaining network. The
survey of the North Channel of Lake Huron represents an attempt to bring
earlier work up to modern standards so that a new series of charts designed to
meet the needs of both the commercial and recreational boater can be produced.
This year’s survey concentrated on completing the field sheets in the
vicinity of Little Current. The
survey used an automated data collection system based on NavBox and the PDP
11/73 to log and process 3807 km of continuous soundings and 1415 shoal
examinations. In
response to a resurgence of urban and industrial renewal projects in many of
the harbours throughout the Great Lakes, Central Region has initiated a survey
program to update the Harbour charts. The
1985 survey completed the previous year’s work at Deseronto, Picton and
Belleville in Lake Ontario and began the survey of Port Colborne Harbour and
the approaches to the Welland Canal in Lake Erie.
A Wild electronic T-2000 Theodolite and Microfix C-100 or Tellurometer
MRD-1 were interfaced with NavBox for positioning. Ross 801 sounders generated
the bathymetry. The
downstream progression of the multi-year St. Lawrence River survey continued
in 1985. Four field sheets at a
scale of 1:5000 between Ault Island and the Moses Saunders Dam were completed.
Soundings were collected with Ross 801 portable sounders and positioned
with Mini-Ranger III in the range/bearing mode.
Survey statistics include 2443 km of sounding and 1013 shoals examined. This
year’s Revisory survey completed 20 projects primarily in Lakes Huron, Erie
and Ontario which included the survey of a small craft channel in Georgian Bay
and the harbours at Port Elgin, Meaford and Owen Sound. Loran-C
calibrations of the Great Lakes chain were undertaken in Lakes Ontario and
Erie. The Syledis positioning
system with accuracy’s of +/- 10 metres was used as the calibration
standard. Ships
and Launches Eight
hydrographic field surveys received launch support this season as follows: Hudson
Bay - NAVIGATOR, NIOBE, WHISTLER Lake
Ontario/Erie Harbours - WREN, CABOT#2, 3 McKees and a Boston Whaler Local
Surveys/Sailing Directions - WREN, MASON and 2 Boston Whalers North

Ste. Marie/Wabigoon – WOODPECKER, 1 Mason, 4 Boston Whalers Revisory
– WAGTAIL, LFGB#2 & #3 In
addition, BAYFIELD and ADVENT were used for Loran-C calibrations in Lakes
Ontario and Erie respectively. Two
McKEE and three MASON hydrographic launches were purchased under the
Department’s Vessel Acquisition and Strategy Plan.
These launches were used to replace older launches in the fleet. Chart
Production Recently,
Central Region has attempted to increase its productivity by contracting out
the compilation and drafting of some of its charts to private industry.
This practice also promotes the Federal Government’s trade objectives
of developing expertise in the private sector of the economy. Chart
production this year included 10 New Charts, 14 New Editions and 8 Reprints CHS
