It is understand that any copying or publication or use of this thesis or parts thereof for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission.

Requests for permission to copy or to make other use of material in this thesis in whole or in part should be addressed to: Head of the Department of Political Studies University of Saskatchewan 9 Campus Drive Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N5A5 i Abstract This thesis examines a protracted planning process in the Saskatoon city-region. More specifically, it examines the planning process which occurred between 1992 and 2004 regarding a residential housing development on The Willows Golf Course. This thesis reveals that the protracted planning process was the result of several factors including: the fragmented character of governance; the planning and development policies and decision-making process in the Saskatoon city-region; the multiplicity of actors; and the political dynamics that arose in an intermunicipal conflict between the City of Saskatoon and the Rural Municipality of Corman Park. The thesis concludes that this case study provides some important lessons for both governments and planners in the Saskatoon city-region as well as other city-regions on opportunities and obstacles for improving planning processes. The first major lesson is that problems emerge when an innovative proposal lands in the context of an antiquated policy framework that cannot adequately deal with it. The second major lesson is that the current regional planning mechanisms are not conducive to comprehensive long-term planning for the city-region. The third lesson is that in some cases the opposition is to changes to the traditional decision-making processes as much as it is to the proposed project. The fourth major lesson is that timely and effective communication is very important for determining character of the political dynamics surrounding a development proposal. Miscommunication can create problematic political dynamics. The fifth major lesson is that economic considerations are inextricably tied to the politics of planning and development. This study concludes with two major recommendations. The first recommendation is that in order to overcome the negative outcomes of fragmented governance systems, formal structures and protocols must be improved to ensure that municipalities continue to communicate effectively with one another in difficult circumstances created by increasing development pressure, especially when they are likely to disagree on a particular development proposal. The second recommendation is that given that there is no guarantee that neighbouring municipal governments can always reach agreement between them, legitimate and efficient dispute settlement mechanisms are required both at the regional level and at the provincial level. ii Acknowledgments The process of completing a Master of Arts degree was an exciting challenge which I was able to live up to thanks to the unwavering support of many individuals and organizations. I am pleased to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for their generous contributions. I would like to thank the College of Graduate Studies and Research and the Department of Political Studies for their generous financial support and for the opportunity to work as a Graduate Teaching Fellow at the University of Saskatchewan. It was an invaluable learning experience which I will cherish for years to come. I must also thank the people who provided me with guidance, advice and encouragement throughout this process. I would like to thank my Thesis Supervisor, Dr. Joe Garcea for his direction, his patience, and his insight into the subject matter. He has contributed a great deal to my development as a student, as a researcher and as a member of the community. I would like to thank the members of my committee, Professor Ken Pontikes and the Honourable Roy Romanow, whose years of experience in the field are very much reflected in the final draft of this thesis. I would like to thank Professor Anna Hunter and Dr. Greg Poelzer for supporting my pursuit of a graduate degree. Lastly, I would like to thank the Graduate Chair, Dr. Hans Michelmann who provided me the opportunity to work as a Research Assistant for the Department of Political Studies as an undergraduate student, which is where my interest in graduate studies first came to bear and for his counsel along the way. I must also thank the community stakeholders who agreed to participate in this process and contributed a great deal to the telling of The Willows Residential Development story. Furthermore, I must acknowledge and thank my friends and family for their understanding and assistance throughout this process. To my many preliminary draft editors, Greg Thomarat, Rachel Clare, Rhiannon Stromberg, Ashley Metz, my greatest thanks. To my colleagues in the Department of Political Studies graduate program, your friendship will not be forgotten no matter where life may take you.

  • Montgomery Place Memorial Cairn Summary
    MONTGOMERY PLACE MEMORIAL CAIRN 1987 - In 1987 two veterans raised the idea of building a memorial cairn in Montgomery Park to recognize our unique community and to honour the contributions of Montgomery Place residents to the Second World War and the Korean War. The idea was presented by Bernard Newman of 3303 Caen Street (built in 1956) and Lewis Winger of 3437 Normandy Street (built in 1960). At a Montgomery Place Community Association meeting, a small group of residents and friends agreed to form the Cairn Committee. The President of the Community Association, Jim Earle, recruited Glen MacDonald of Ortona Street to chair the Cairn Committee. Michael Molaro of 11th Street West volunteered to join the Committee to add his architectural drafting skills. Other Committee members included : Gordon Dewar, Ruth Murray, Wendel Dent, Fred Hodgkinson, Ivan Bowman, Harold Olson, George Thompson and Ed Price. Dave Scott acted as City of Saskatoon liaison. 1988 - On May 9, 1988 Saskatoon City Council passed a motion " …that permission be granted to place a cairn commemorating the founding of Montgomery Place in the north-west corner of Montgomery Park. " In the following year the City approved the construction details and exact location of the cairn. The final plans were drawn by Michael Molaro in July 1988. Many of the construction details were worked out between Bernie Newman, Lew Winger and Jim Sabino, the stonemason who had been chosen to build the cairn. 1989 - A community meeting was held on January 26, 1989 when the cairn proposal was endorsed by the Montgomery Place residents who attended.

The primary purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis that railway relocation in a western Canadian city could prove beneficial to such a City in terms of community objectives. The City of Saskatoon is utilized as a case study. A second• ary purpose, upon validation of the hypothesis, is to attempt the use of Saskatoon's experience as a bench-mark in determining the feasibility of railway relocation in other Saskatchewan cities. In order to place the City in its proper historical and develop• mental context, the history of Saskatoon is briefly traced from its origin in 1882 to the present.

Table of Contents Biographical sketches 1 Mayor and Council index 133 Early History of Saskatoon 139 Bibliography 149 Revision Notes 150 Preface On the 26th of June, 1906, Saskatoon City Council held its inaugural meeting. In celebration of this event we have compiled this book of biographies of all the men and women who served on Council from 1903 until 2006. We chose to include biographies of those who served prior to 1906 because of the number of them whose service encompassed both the Town and City of Saskatoon. Where possible, we have included photographs with each biography. Unfortunately, save for a montage done in 1912 the custom of photographing each new City Council does not appear to have begun until 1923.
