Alberta Inventory of Major Projects Inventory of Major Alberta Projects June 2011 Alberta Finance and Enterprise 4th Floor, Commerce Place Edmonton, Alberta T5J 4L6 Inventory of Major Alberta Projects Introduction The Inventory of Major Alberta Projects is produced by Alberta Finance and Enterprise to assist firms in identifying potential supply opportunities. The Inventory lists construction projects in Alberta valued at $5.0 million or greater that are planned, underway, or have recently been completed. This edition also identifies projects that have been put on hold or deferred due to the economic downturn. Project data is obtained from public and private information sources. Where possible, this data has been verified with the project proponent/developer. However, users of the Inventory may wish to confirm project data with the proponent/developer. While efforts have been made to obtain the most recent information, it should be noted that projects are constantly being re-evaluated by industry. Although the Inventory attempts to be as comprehensive as possible, some information may not be available at the time of printing, or not published due to reasons of confidentiality. The Inventory can be accessed on the Internet at www.albertacanada.com/about-alberta/inventory-of- major-projects.html. New projects and (where possible) updated information on current projects is added to the Internet database on a monthly basis. The print edition of the report is produced quarterly. Projects added to the Inventory between April 1 and June 30, 2011 are noted in upper case in the Project Description column. If you have questions or require additional information about the Inventory, contact Alberta Finance and Enterprise by phone at (780) 427-6787, or by fax at (780) 422-0061.

  • Sports and Entertainment Facility
    Attachment 1 Councillors’ Questions on Sports and Entertainment Facility COUNCILLOR SOHI Questions for Administration : 1. What are the timelines for projected growth around the arena? How many years would it take to generate $9.6 to $11.2 million in a projected uplift in incremental taxes? 2. Was the Community Revitalization Levy (CRL), or similar model of financing, used for building arenas in other cities? What were some of the negative or positive implications? 3. Are arenas exempted from property taxes? How much in estimated property tax revenue would the City of Edmonton collect if the proposed downtown arena paid property taxes? 4. As the CRL requires provincial approval, will the education portion of property tax be affected? 5. Have discussions taken place with the Province regarding the CRL model? 6. What role can (or will) the city administration play in determining who will operate the new arena. Will this decision be made by the Katz group or by the City? 7. What role can (or will) the administration play in regard to site selections? 8. What safe guards can be put in place to ensure that no new taxes would be required in the future to pay for debt servicing charges? 9. How does the proposed site fit into the City’s Downtown Plan? What impact will the arena will have on the Downtown Plan? 10. If city is the major financier of the arena, then why can the City not operate the arena and use the non hockey revenue to pay for the debt. 11.

Macleod Trail, as we know it today, has remained much the same since the 1960’s. It was, and continues to be, characterized by low-rise buildings accompanied by paved parking lots and poor infrastructure for pedestrians. The development of low-density land use and long distances between destinations or areas of interest has encouraged driving as the primary way for people to get to and from key destinations along Macleod Trail.

  • Thesis Vigour Danielsen Fredriksen Nordli NøStberg.Pdf
    9,*285+($/7+ The ASC-Series Launch in Canada May 21, 2008 David M. Danielsen Joakim Fredriksen Espen Nordli Bjorn R. Nostberg Vigour Health The ASC-Series Launch in Canada EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is part of the authors’ bachelor degree in International Marketing and analyzes the Canadian vitamins and dietary supplements (VDS) industry. Based on this analysis, the authors will be proposing how Vigour can enter the market. Vigour Health was founded in 2006 by Omar Paulsen Bekheet and John Ivar Andre and the goal was to introduce a new lifestyle concept that should be inventive in its approach. Vigour utilizes raw materials from the northern parts of Norway, and produces prescription-free, unique dietary supplements from perhaps the cleanest environment in the world. The company wants to export its Arctic Seaweed Complex series (ASC) to Canada, which has the following products in its portfolio: Pure:DETOX, Daily:PROTECTION and Figure:BALANCE. However, Vigour is currently in the process of launching their products in Norway and has therefore a rather limited budget to support their market entry in Canada. The first section of the report describes the research problem, research objectives and methodology. It further outlines more about Vigour and the company’s strengths and weaknesses, before it describes the Canadian VDS industry with an emphasis on distribution channels. Based on the findings, the authors have identified different courses of action and make a recommendation at the end of the report. Methodology The report is based on both primary and secondary data. Secondary sources that were used consist of online articles, books, newspapers and reports.

  • The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) Is a Non-Partisan, Non-Profit Advocacy Organization Committed to Lower Taxes, Less Waste and More Government Accountability
    The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is a non-partisan, non-profit advocacy organization committed to lower taxes, less waste and more government accountability. We have 74,000 supporters nation-wide, with 16,000 of them here in Alberta. During elections, we regularly provide information to our supporters as to where various candidates stand on issues important to them. As such we have prepared a five question survey for you to complete. Your response will be released publicly on our website: www.taxpayer.com as well as sent directly to our supporters in Edmonton. Please complete the following survey and fax it back to 1-877-482-1744 or e-mail it to [email protected] by Tuesday, October 5th. • Do you support limiting annual property tax bill increases to Edmonton’s inflation rate? Yes No Undecided Note: In past years, Epcor has returned to the city enough money to cover up to a quarter of our budget. If we allow the sale of this monopoly to private interests, we are by default asking for a 25% tax increase. I do not believe this should happen, and the citizens of Edmonton need to realize what is at stake. • Do you support spending city tax dollars on bidding for and hosting Expo 2017? Yes No Undecided • Do you support using municipal tax dollars (either through a transparent grant or loan or through the Community Revitalization Levy (CRL) scheme) to fund all or a portion of the construction of a new NHL arena/entertainment facility? Yes No Undecided Note: I do not believe that public money should be given to businesses if the money will not be returned to the city later.
