  • Premier Stelmach Sets out Priorities; Names New Cabinet, Reorganizes Portfolios Changes to Government Structure Reflect Government Priorities
    March 12, 2008 Premier Stelmach sets out priorities; names new Cabinet, reorganizes portfolios Changes to government structure reflect government priorities Edmonton... Premier Ed Stelmach has laid out the priorities for his new administration, reorganizing portfolios and adding four new ministries. The Premier also named his new Cabinet which features new faces and new assignments for previous members, and introduces the role of parliamentary assistants who will help support ministers on key projects. "This Cabinet and new government structure will focus on building a stronger Alberta and improving the lives of Albertans,” said Premier Stelmach. “The Cabinet team balances experience and new perspectives and is well skilled for the work ahead.” The new Cabinet will be focused on five priorities: ensuring Alberta’s energy resources are developed in an environmentally sustainable way; increasing access to quality health care and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health care service delivery; enhancing value-added activity, increasing innovation, and improving the long-run sustainability of Alberta’s economy; reducing crime so Albertans feel safe in their communities; and providing the roads, schools, hospitals and other public infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing economy and population. Changes to the government structure will help better meet these priorities. Government’s increased focus on culture is reflected in the new Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit which also has responsibility for the voluntary sector and the Human Rights Commission. The new Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs will help fulfill government’s plan to ensure affordable housing is available to all Albertans and to address emerging urban issues.

  • 911 Dispatch Issues & Rural EMS Strategies May 14, 2012 Report
    We’re Working On It! 911 Dispatch Issues & Rural EMS Strategies May 14, 2012 Report Dear Residents: This is a report about ongoing cooperative effort which is affecting you! As a result of centralizing ambulance dispatch and challenges which have emerged in service to our residents, a number of people are putting in a lot of effort to work towards solutions, to manage costs, better support our 911 dispatch centres and effect better coordinated responses of ambulance and fire first response. On behalf of the MD of Foothills and our Foothills Regional Emergency Services Commission, I am working with many people who are interested in finding and advocating solutions to these complex matters. Our Foothills Regional Emergency Services Commission (FRESC), who owns and operates our Foothills 911 Call centre, is operating out of the Black Diamond Hospital. We serve 26 Municipalities and 32 Fire Departments in Southern Alberta, including the communities of Okotoks, High River, Turner Valley, Black Diamond, MD of Foothills, and 21 more... Your 911 Calls are answered at this Public Safety Answering Point and are further directed to Calgary PSC for AHS Ambulance – Emergency Medical Services (EMS), to the RCMP dispatch in Red Deer for police service, or if Fire Department response is required, dispatched directly from our location. We receive land line and cell phone calls within our area, and calls that are transferred to us from cell phone or VOIP calls received by other operators but require a response in our area. Although we have experienced some changes from the service we were used to before transition, we continue to work towards affecting the change we need to provide the best service possible to our residents.
