October 15, 2019

Dear Friends,

Thank you for participating in the inaugural ActiveCITY Summit. As a result you are now part of the ActiveCITY Collective which is a collaboration of not-for-profit, for- profit and public-sector organizations and individuals engaged in Calgary’s regional active economy. Our shared objective is to collaborate, debate, learn and connect to shape system wide solutions. The Summit was just our first step. Our ultimate goal is transforming Calgary into Canada’s most livable region by maximizing the potential of our natural competitive advantage – the active economy. For too long, our active economy has been simply a sum of its parts. The ActiveCITY Collective is focusing on improving collaboration and connectivity that will result in a more efficient and effective system. A system that leverages our natural advantages – people and place. This report is a summary of the input and feedback from the ActiveCITY Summit. But as we said, this is only the start. The most common question we have been asked is – “what can I do now” and we have tried to answer that in the final section, with our call to action. Over the next year, the ActiveCITY Collective, with your leadership, will engage a minimum of 65,000 Calgarian’s to develop an ActiveCITY Playbook – a collective vision and framework for maximizing the potential of our active economy and to transform Calgary into Canada’s most livable region. The final section of this report provides a roadmap on how you can help lead the transformation of our ActiveCITY Collective. This report thus includes: Section 1: Thinking Different: Exploring Calgary’s Active Economy Section 2: Acting Differently: Shaping the Future of Calgary’s Active Economy Section 3: A Call to Action. Your Turn to Lead. Appendix: Participants and Raw Notes Finally, we must recognize the real rocket fuel of our active economy – the amazing ActiveCITY volunteers, including our Mount Royal University students. The ActiveCITY Summit would have not been possible without their support Thank you again for your ongoing support!

How does the Active Economy create community value?

The active economy incorporates all people and organizations who participate in, or contribute to, improving individual and/or community level well-being through the development and delivery of sport, physical activity and active recreation experiences. We propose this definition incorporates ten interdependent sectors including organized sport, active recreation, health & wellness, design & infrastructure and tourism. The active economy is measured in the context of how it contributes positively or negatively to community well-being. The value is rooted in a complex, highly interdependent system of feedback loops that influence both individual outcomes and the system structure itself. Thus, effective active economy value mapping, does not focus only on individual relationships between components. Rather, it focuses on identifying the high leverage dimensions that have maximum impact on the overall system. Therefore, to understand fully the value of the active economy, one must disaggregate and map it to a systematic activity level and identify the explanatory relationships. Refer to the conceptual figure below.

At the ActiveCITY Summit, our facilitator, Karen Ball, asked participants to explore how different components of the active economy generated community value. Below is a synthesis of the responses and please refer to the Appendix for the raw notes.

Forms of Economic Value Forms of Social Value ● Regional investment ● Civic engagement & governance o Capital and operational o Volunteerism ● Business output ● Social proactivity o Sales volumes o Engaging diverse communities including ● Impact on personal income youth, seniors and new Canadians. ● Employment ● Trust & safety o Acquisition & retention of talent ● Social connections o Diversification ● Tolerance o Productivity o Celebrate diversity o Reduced sick days o Overcome barriers ● Expenditures/spending o Bridge social inequality ● Impact on property value o Promote empathy ● Reduced healthcare costs ● Identity o Community of communities o Belonging o Overcome social isolation o Shared values

Forms of Human Value Forms of Environmental Value ● Well-being measures ● Active transportation reduces carbon footprint o Physical and mental well-being and air quality o Life expectancy o Walking o Happiness o Biking o Sense of belonging ● Influences perceived value of environment o Balance in life ● Impact on design to maximize usage. ● Competency measures o Walkable communities o Leadership o Park design o Communication o Cycling paths o Education o Life skills o Team works o Goal setting o Importance of soft skills o Leadership

SECTION 2: Acting Differently: Shaping the Future of Calgary’s Active Economy

Participants provided input on the following two questions: ● What are the assets we MUST become Canada’s most active city? Think about the physical, natural, economic, human, social and structural assets that we have and that are working well. ● What are the assets we NEED to become Canada’s most active city? Think about the physical, natural, economic, human, social and structural assets that we need or barriers to the development of these assets that need to be removed.

Pursue anything to get us out, connect through activity all year without great expense. ● Enhance coaching

SECTION 3: A CALL TO ACTION – YOUR TURN TO LEAD

Developing a Community-Driven ActiveCITY Playbook: At the close of the Summit, our call to action was for YOU to become a leader in the ActiveCITY movement. Since the Summit closed, dozens of participants have asked for concrete direction on what they can do. Based on feedback from partners, the ActiveCITY Collective Board has established a goal of developing a community-driven and integrated regional active economy framework - the ActiveCITY Playbook. We believe this process must be driven by and for the broader community and thus have adopted the following principles: 1. Anchored by a bigger community vision: The Playbook will focus on how the active economy can be a catalyst to make Calgary and the surrounding area, Canada’s most livable region. 2. Inclusive: The Playbook will be driven by active listening in our communities. We have established a goal of creating the largest community engagement process in Calgary’s history so Calgarians will own the ActiveCITY movement and its outcomes. Our goal is to build trust through transparency and ownership. We have defined a target of engaging 65,000 people, stratified and representative of the Calgary population, between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020. Stage 1 of community engagement (Oct 2019 – April 2020) will focus on listening. ● Why Calgary? Explore what factors contribute to the choice to live in Calgary. o What do you love best about living in Calgary? ● What they Love? Explore how Calgarians personally engage in the active economy today. o How do you and your family engage in sport, active recreation and health & wellness in Calgary? o What is the best thing about sport, active recreation and health & wellness in Calgary? ● What would they Love? o If you were the king/ queen for a day, what is the one thing you would do to enhance sport, active recreation and health & wellness in Calgary? 3. Anchored in a systems perspective: The Playbook recognizes the systematic dimensions of livability and how sport can directly and indirectly be a catalyst to delivering on the promise of the active city. 4. Anchored in evidence: The Playbook must be rooted in rigorous, high-quality, evidence based, research. 5. Efficient: The process of developing the Playbook will leverage both existing work, resources and the networks of our ecosystem partners.

6. Operationalizable: The Playbook must be operationalizable by ecosystem partners. This may include providing guidance for collaborative strategic initiatives or investment across the ecosystem.

We are Looking for ActiveCITY Community Champions! Creating the largest community engagement process in the city’s history of 65,000 people sounds daunting. However, Calgary is a diverse community of communities. Therefore, to achieve our target, we will decentralize the community engagement process to clusters of “active” micro-communities from 100 to 1000 people. Example communities may include: ● Sport (e.g. snow sport community) ● Active recreation (e.g. river users’ community) ● Industry (e.g. sport retail community) ● Geography (e.g. quadrants) ● Demography (e.g. New Canadian community) ● Schools (e.g. Mount Royal University community). ActiveCITY Community Champion: The leader of community engagement for their respective community. The community champion will track engagement for their community. Micro-Communities: Each community is composed of a series of smaller micro-communities, who can be accessed via existing communication channels. These can include email distribution lists, newsletters or events. ActiveCITY Community Engagement Toolkit: A common ActiveCITY community engagement toolkit will be developed and customized for each micro-community. ActiveCITY Community Champions will choose the engagement tool (or tools) that is most appropriate for their community. The ActiveCITY toolkit will be made available to all ActiveCITY Community Champions in November.

Below is an example of the distributed community engagement model in the context of Mount Royal University. First, the ActiveCITY Coordinator, Arielle Fitzgerald, would assign an MRU ActiveCITY

Community Champion. This Champion would then identify accessible MRU active micro-communities, such as varsity athletes, intramural sports and student clubs. Each of these would then be accessible through their respective organizations.

It’s as easy as that! What we need now are people to help us lead this process. Are you ready to step up?
