Lethbridge Courthouse and Sifton House Get $300,000 for Upgrades Investments Are Part of Overall Plan to Refurbish Provincial Infrastructure
November 1, 2007 Lethbridge Courthouse and Sifton House get $300,000 for upgrades Investments are part of overall plan to refurbish provincial infrastructure Lethbridge... Two provincial facilities in Lethbridge will receive a combined estimated $300,000 in upgrades, thanks to recently announced infrastructure maintenance funding by the Alberta government. “Albertans know that preventative maintenance saves money in the long run, and so does their government,” said Luke Ouellette, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation. “We’re taking a proactive approach to prolonging the life of provincial facilities, and that makes good business sense.” The Lethbridge Courthouse will receive an estimated $200,000 toward major renovations to six public washrooms, including the addition of new, water-conserving fixtures and barrier-free access. At Sifton House, the kitchen exhaust system will be replaced at a cost of $100,000. The old system is not functioning properly and interferes with the operation of other building ventilation systems. Work on both projects is expected to start immediately and be complete by March 2008. “These investments demonstrate the Stelmach government’s commitment to renewing our infrastructure,” said Clint Dunford, MLA for Lethbridge-West. “Government is focusing its investments on local needs across the province.” These projects are part of a $350-million commitment by government to fix and maintain more than 100 schools, hospitals, post-secondary facilities and government buildings across the province. “While it is important to build new infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing province, it is also critical that we ensure the buildings we have already are well maintained, safe and in good working order,” said Gene Zwozdesky, Associate Minister of Capital Planning. -
The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011.” Canadian Ethnic Studies, 47(1): Pp
Foster, Jason, and Bob Barnetson. (2015). “The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011.” Canadian Ethnic Studies, 47(1): pp. 107-131. https://doi.org/10.1353/ces.2015.0009. The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011 Abstract This paper uses narrative analysis to explore how government members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly (MLAs) “constructed” migrant work and migrant workers in legislature and media statements between 2000 and 2011. Government MLAs asserted that migrant work (1) was economically necessary and (2) posed no threat to Canadian workers. Government MLAs also asserted that international migrant workers (3) had questionable occupational, linguistic or cultural skills and (4) caused negative social and economic impacts in Canada. Taken individually, these narratives appear contradictory, casting migrant work as good but migrant workers as bad. Viewed together, these narratives comprise an effort to dehumanize temporary and permanent international migrant workers. This (sometimes racialized) “othering” of migrant workers justifies migrant workers’ partial citizenship and suppresses criticism of their poor treatment. Keywords: migrant workers, Canada, Alberta, political economy, narrative analysis Word count: 8362 The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers 1 Introduction Like many jurisdictions, the Canadian province of Alberta saw significant growth in its population of international migrant workers—as well as rampant mistreatment of these workers—between 2000 and 2011. Provincial government legislators frequently made demonstrably false statements justifying this growth and discounting this mistreatment (Barnetson & Foster 2013). The Alberta discourse around temporary and permanent international migrant workers hinted at a seeming contradiction: government members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of Alberta often seemed bullish on migrant work, but critical of migrant workers. -
