The Chestnut-collared Longspur (Calcarius ornatus) is listed as endangered on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act and is a migratory bird protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. In Canada, the Chestnut-collared Longspur breeds in the short and mixed-grass prairie in southeastern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba.
The recovery strategy for the Chestnut-collared Longspur identifies the critical habitat for the species in a number of areas, including within federally protected areas.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to subsection 58(3) of the Species at Risk Act, subsection 58(1) of that Act will apply, 90 days after this publication, to the critical habitat of the Chestnut-collared Longspur identified in the recovery strategy for that species — that is included on the Species at Risk Public Registry — that is found within the Longspur National Wildlife Area, described in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Area Regulations made pursuant to the Canada Wildlife Act.

Description of Slender Mouse-ear-cress critical habitat in the Canadian Forces Base Suffield National Wildlife Area and Great Sandhills National Wildlife Area
The Slender Mouse-ear-cress (Halimobolos virgata) is listed as threatened on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. In Canada, the Slender Mouse-ear-cress is found in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan on sandy to loamy soils ranging in moisture from dry to vernally moist, in short to mid-grass prairie on terrain that is flat to very gently undulating. It is often found in low depressions or at the base of slopes and sand dune edges in areas that have been lightly disturbed by grazing.
The recovery strategy for the Slender Mouse-ear-cress identifies the critical habitat for the species in a number of areas, including within federally protected areas.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to subsection 58(3) of the Species at Risk Act, subsection 58(1) of that Act will apply, 90 days after this publication, to the critical habitat of the Slender Mouse-ear-cress identified in the recovery strategy for that species — that is included on the Species at Risk Public Registry — that is found within the Canadian Forces Base Suffield National Wildlife Area and Great Sandhills National Wildlife Area, described in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Area Regulations made pursuant to the Canada Wildlife Act.

Notice of repeal of copy service fees
On 21 August 2025, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture repealed the existing reprography fee structure of Library and Archives Canada (LAC), originally established in 2005 and published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on 6 August 2005 (Vol. 139, No. 32, page 2646 [PDF, 385KB]).
This decision reflects the Government of Canada’s commitment to modernizing public services and ensuring that LAC’s offerings align with current technologies, client expectations, and contemporary service delivery methods. The 2005 fee structure no longer meets the needs of today’s users or reflects the efficiencies made possible by digital advancements.
The outdated reprography fee schedule is no longer in effect. A revised copy service fee schedule will be published on LAC’s official website. The new structure is designed to better reflect the cost-of-service delivery and the value of improved access to Canada’s documentary heritage.
For more information, please contact reproduction@bac-lac.gc.ca.
