Bill No. 75 of 1950. A BILL RESPECTING FOREST RESERVES. NOTE. This Bin repeals The Alberta FoOrest Reserves Act, being

chapter 63 of the Statutes of Alberta, 1942, and enacts a new Act in its stead to be known as liThe Forest Reserve.1] Act". An Agreement dated the 19th day of June, 1947, was entered into between the Government of Canada and the Government of the Province of Alberta, providing for the conservation of the forests and for the protection of the watershed and rivers of the east slope of the Rocky Moun tains. This Agreement was approved, ratified and confirmed by

chapter 20 of the Statutes of Alberta, 1948, and by

chapter 59 of the Statutes of Canada, 1947. A Board known as the Eastern Rockies Forest Conservation Board was established by the Agreement for the purpose of supervising and carry ing out the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement fur ther provides that the Province shall have complete authori ty and control with respect to the carrying out of the pro grams of the Board and the employment of persons, firms and corporations in connection therewith.

Except as other wise provided by the Agreement, the Province at all times retains control of the administration of the forest reserves, resources therein and the revenue therefrom. This Bill is designed to implement the terms of the Agree ment and to establish the machinery and powers necessary to administer the forest reserves in the Province. It retains many of the provisions of The Alberta Forest Reserves Act, but in redrafted form. Sections 3 to 10 deal with the application and the adminis tration of the Act.

The Act applies solely to all forest reserv es in the Province that come under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Rockies Forest Conservation Board. The Minister is required to consult the Board on all matters of policy con nected with the administration and devel'Opment of these forest reserves. All forest reserves within the Province are established for the conservation of the forests, for the main tenance and protection of animal, bird and fish life, and for the maintenance of conditions favourable to a continuous water supply.

The Minister of Lands and Forests has ~xclusive provincial jurisdiction 'Over the lands contained In a forest reserve, and no public lands in such a reserve may be dealt with in any way except under the authority of the Act or except with the written permission of the Minister Qf Lands and Forests.

Section 11 empowers the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulati.onsnot inconsistent with the Act governing matters necessary for the effective administra tion of the Act. Each regulation so made shall come into force on the day upon which it is approved or made, or on such earlier or later date as may be prescribed in the order in council, and every such regulation shall have the same force and effect as if it had been expressly enacted by the Act.

All such regulations shall be published in The Alberta Gaz ette and shall be laid before the Legislative Assembly within fifteen days after the opening of the first session following their publicati.on. Sections 12 to 18 deal with the expropriation .or use .of free hold lands incidental t.o the construction Dr maintenance of local roads or works necessary for the administration of any reserve. The powers are similar tD those to be f.ound in The Public Works Act.

No c.ompensation is to be paid fDr the expropriation or use of any lands required for these purposes, as it is expected that the benefit accruing to the owners of such lands would more than compensate fDr the value .of the land which may be expropriated Dr Hsed. Sections 19 to 24 give the Minister power to establish local roads in a forest reserve and to control traffic over them. He may establish toll rates for the commercial use .of any local road Dr part thereof.

The money thereby obtained shall be used for the construction .of additiDnal local roads or fDr the maintenance of any local roads from which the toll has been collecred. The Bill also prDvides that no action shall lie against the Crown or any .officer for damages arising out .of the use of any highway, development road, local road, trail or bridge within a reserve. Entry into a reserve is per missive .only and not a matter of right.

Section 25 prohibits any person .other than a forest officer from travelling, camping or being present in a reserve unless he has a permit entitling him tD do so, or unless he has registered at, a registration point provided for that purpose. From time to time the Minister may prohibit all travelling in a reserve without a special permit when circumstances require it.

Section 25 does not apply to travel upon a public highway; or upon a road, street, lane or track upon wh~ch he is authorized to travel under the provisions of The Prl//xtie Streets Act; upon a railway train; or upon the l'ight-of-way of a railway company which right-of-way is In actual operation Dr use. Sections 26 to 31 contain the same provisions concerning the control of stock in forest reserves as were contained in The Alberta Forest Reserves Act. The provisions have been redrafted for greater clarity. .

Secti~:m 32 provides that if any lessee, licensee or permittee IS convlc!ed of an offence against the Act, his lease, license, or permIt shall be cancelled without further action. The ~inister may authorize the reinstatement of any such lease, lIcense or pern1it upon such terms as he may deem just.

iii

Section 33 deals with the registration and control of fire arms in a reserve.

Section 34 empowers any forest officer to arrest without warrant and bring before a justice of the peace to be dealt with according to law, or to remove from any reserve, any person found violating any provision of the Act or of the regulations. Any forest officer is authorized to seize any thing wrongfully removed from a forest reserve or any weap on or appliance which may be used for killing or capturing any animal, bird or fish. He may also search for these articles without warrant within the reserve or within twenty-five miles of the outer boundaries thereof. By

section 38 the Minister in his discretion may direct the return of the

article seized upon such terms as he may deem just.

Section 39 provides that a contravention of any provision of this Act or of the regulations or of any term or condition of a lease, permit or license shall constitute an offence against the Act.

Section 40 sets out the general penalty clause.

Section 41 provides that in any prosecution or investiga tion under the Act or the regulations, the onus shall be upon the person charged or investigated to prove compliance with the provisions of this Act or the regulations.

Section 42 provides that every forest officer shall have all the powers of a justice of the peace for the purpose of this Act. This provision is necessary because of the isolation of the forest reserves.

Section 44 adopts sections 116 to 163 of The Forests Act, which deal with the prevention of forest fires. These sections shall be administered by the Administrative and Liaison Officer of the Department of Lands and Forests rather than by the Director appointed under The Porests Act. The Alberta Forest Reserves Act, being

chapter 63 of the Revised Statutes of Alberta, 1942, is repealed. KENNETH A. MCKENZIE, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
