	Athabasca University Students Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Athabasca University doesn’t have a Senate, which is something the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, and Lethbridge have, and it’s because of the nature of the institution and because of so many students, and therefor its governing people aren’t necessarily in the same geographic area or able to come together on a really regular basis.
		Alberta from the period of 1991 to 2002 had the highest rate of tuition increase, and it was 168% and Stats Canada figured that out so it’s a reliable stat.
		Basically, even though Athabasca University has students studying with it from all across the country and all across the world, I mean, if you’re a student from BC and you attend the University of Alberta, if you need student loans, you still need to get that from the BC government.

	Peace-Athabasca Delta, Alberta - Ramsar - Environment Canada
		At present, major threats to the delta are the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, located upstream on the Peace River in British Columbia, petroleum exploration and development including the oil sands projects upstream on the Athabasca River, forestry operations, land use change in the watershed, and climate change.
		Operation of the W.A.C. Bennett Hydroelectric Dam commencing in 1968 caused a significant drop in water flow to the delta resulting in insufficient water levels to fill the numerous perched basins in the area.
		The weirs restored the natural summer peak water levels in the larger delta lakes but the amplitude of seasonal and annual fluctuations over most of the delta wetlands is still less than under the natural water flow regime.
