	Brandon Riverbank \| Assiniboine River Corridor
		In the 1970's the concept of River revitalization began, as the City of Brandon began to develop a parks system along the Assiniboine River Corridor.
		For the next twenty years, parks were developed along the River and the area evolved into a gathering place for the citizens of Brandon and tourists alike.
		In February of 1995, the Assiniboine River Corridor Master Plan was created, providing a 25-year development plan for the rejuvenation of the River Corridor.

	Assiniboine River
		Fed by the Lilian and Whitesand rivers, it swells into Lake of the Prairies and flows southeast across the Manitoba border, where it is joined by the QU'APPELLE RIVER and, 30 km southeast of BRANDON, the SOURIS RIVER.
		Joining the RED RIVER at the &QUOT;forks"; in Winnipeg, it cuts a wide, scenic valley through the Manitoba Escarpment, and drains a broad, fertile plain that is one of Canada's prime wheat-growing areas.
		The river is navigable for some 500 km, and before the railway came, 7 sternwheelers plied its course from Winnipeg to FORT ELLICE.

	The Assiniboine River bursts its banks
		The Assiniboine River is a typical meandering river with a single main channel embanked within a flat, shallow valley.
		However, several important tributaries of the Assiniboine River are drained downstream of the dam thus increasing the stream flow during a runoff period.
		The Assiniboine River basin and its main tributary, the Qu'Appelle River basin received above normal snow fall during the winter which meant that the snow depth was also much greater than usual.

	White Dove's Native American Indian Site Assiniboine
		Assiniboine is an Algonquian word meaning "those who cook with stones." It is the prevailing interpretation today that the Assiniboines, who were distinct by A.D. 1550, may have come from the Sandy Lake and Duck Bay archaeological cultures found along the forest's edge in the period A.D. 1250 to 1500.
		By the late seventeenth century most Assiniboines were concentrated within the southern Lake Winnipeg region, between the Assiniboine River and the valley of the Red River.
		Assiniboines suffered massive population reductions from smallpox epidemics in 1737, 1780-81, and 1837-38, each of which required major reconstitutions of their society.

	FORT PECK ASSINIBOINE AND SIOUX TRIBES community profile
		The Assiniboines had previously been tied to the HBC trade, but gradually accepted the French peddlers from Quebec, who eventually became the Northwest Company, especially when HBC displaced Assiniboines as the canoemen for the journeys down to the Bay.
		Thereby the Assiniboines attempted to control the lands between the HBC and NWC posts on the Assiniboine River and the Mandan Villages, predominantly the Souris River Valley.
		Assiniboine bands became fur and hide producers and roamed the regions between the Saskatchewan River to the north, Missouri River branch lands to the south, the Cypress Hills and Milk River to the west, and the White Earth River to the east.

	The QU'APPELLE RIVER "Great Canadian Rivers"
		The river, gouged deeply into the landscape by ancient glacial meltwaters, drops into view like a prairie oasis - a rugged, verdant interruption to the grasslands and grain fields of the western plains.
		Creating a 430 kilometre sheltered corridor from its headwaters at the South Saskatchewan River, eastward to the Assiniboine River of neighbouring Manitoba, the Qu'appelle has provided refuge to buffalo hunters, fur traders and homesteading pioneers.
		Its marshes and meadows have given respite to migrating flocks and sanctuary to prairie wildlife, and the fertile lands that surround it have been transformed into one of the foremost agricultural zones of the world.

	Freshwater Website: Floods (Reducing flood damage - Case Studies: Red, Assiniboine and Fraser Rivers)
		Subsequent to the Red River flood in 1950, a large scale structural approach was planned and implemented for protection against future flood damages by the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
		The purpose of the outlet structure is to dissipate the energy in the water at its point of re-entry to the Red River near Lockport, thereby preventing damage and erosion in the river.
		The river dykes completed under the Program have successfully withstood the 1972 freshet (which exceeded the levels of the 1964 and 1967) and the sea dykes have endured the record high sea levels of 1982.

		There is also a potential for flooding in the Red River watershed, portions of the Assiniboine River watershed, on the Saskatchewan River and in the Interlake.
		The presence of river ice during the snowmelt crest raises river levels and increases the chance of flooding.
		Flooding is not expected along the Churchill River and the Nelson River this spring and early summer under the average weather scenario as both rivers would experience relatively minor rises.
