A white bucket sits in a creek flowing out of Hidden Lake — a cold alpine lake behind the Lake Louise Ski Resort in Banff National Park.
Inside the bucket, which has been turned into a remote streamside incubator with a few plumbing supplies, are dozens of tiny westslope cutthroat trout, a threatened species in Alberta. |

“We have some eggs that we put into the lake about three weeks ago,” Shelley Humphries, an aquatics specialist with Parks Canada, said Thursday as she gave reporters a first-hand look at Parks Canada’s reintroduction of the species into the backcountry lake. |
