Large-scale projects continued to involve the Face Coverings Bylaw for both messaging and community development. Additionally, work continues on Land Use Bylaw public engagement. Communications has also been enlisted to work with the CEDI group in order to develop media communication for a number of projects between the Town of High Level and Dene Tha FN.
Social media engagement has been increasingly volatile through the month of September, primarily in regards to “COVID fatigue.” Several bright spots over the month greatly increased positive engagement; photo events featuring firefighter training, Northern Lights, and Arena updates were all positive. The Northern Lights photos in particular were shared widely and resulted in a reach of nearly 28,000 people and close to 5,000 engagements.

In September, there were five reported incidents. Of these, four were First Aid (one WCB), and one hazard.
Inspection forms for the Arena and Town Office were updated to remove redundancies, and increase the efficiency of inspections and data entry.

TOWN OF HIGH LEVEL Request for Decision
Issue: Administration had budgeted for inflatable houses/play structures, for 2020, but with COVID, we would h have been unable to utilize the play structures, so we are considering the purchase of an inflatable screen for 2020.
Recommendation: THAT Council approve a new 2020 capital project for $16,000 for an inflatable screen package, to be financed through General Reserves.
CAO Comments:
Target Decision: October 13, 2020
Submitted By: Ruth Rolfe, Director of Community Services Reviewed By: Clark McAskile, Director of Operations
37 BACKGROUND
Overview:
In September, Council put forward a resolution for administration to provide a capital substantiation sheet for an inflatable screen, for consideration for 2021. In the capital- planning meeting, last month, there was further direction, that Administration put forward a request to purchase the air screen package this year,
The cost to purchase an inflatable 20-foot screen package would be $16,000. This screen weighs 143 lbs., and would be a large enough screen for 500 people to view. The Town has room to store the open-air cinema package and screen. It could be used year round (inside during winter months) for various events, and rented out to Community Groups.
This would not be for a drive in, but for outdoor movies, where people could sit on a blanket or set up chairs, outside on the grass, during summer months, or at a large indoor event.
Legislation and Policy:

As there were funds ($20,000) dedicated for inflatable houses for 2020, to come out of general reserve, this would not affect the overall net

2021 Capital Project Request
Department Community Services
Project Inflatable Movie Screen Amount Requested $16,000
Rehabilitation Replacement Addition x Maintenance
Project Description To Purchase a 20Foot inflatable screen package
Justification
There were funds budgeted for inflatable interactive playhouses, that are used for Canada Day and other events. With the pandemic, we would not be able to use them, so we have put this purchase to 2021, or later. In the interim, a large movie screen that is good for 500 people under regular conditions with social distancing could easily provide entertainment for 100 people in the upstairs of our arena, or curling pad when not in use, and outdoors in spring until fall.
Service Level Effects Increase and maintain service levels during and after pandemic.
Effects of Incompletion Less programming possibilities.

TOWN OF HIGH LEVEL Briefing Note
Information Technology – CCI Wireless / Broadband in High Level
CCI Wireless
Several presentations have been made to Council from October 2019 on the state of residential broadband access in the Town of High Level. In the last presentation made on August 24, 2020, Administration reported that CCI Wireless had put much of its planned capital expenditure on hold.
On October 1, 2020, Mr. Graham Fleet made Administration aware of the acquisition of CCI Wireless by Xplornet Communications Inc. Please see the attached news release from Xplornet Communications Inc.
Mr. Fleet confirmed that CCI Wireless remained excited by prospect of working with the Town of High Level, and would soon be in a position to move forward with capital expenditure.
Administration will continue to engage with CCI Wireless and other potential partners and will specifically investigate the possibilities offered by the next round of funding available from the Federal Government’s Universal Broadband Fund and the third round of funding from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

From: Luke Colatorti
Good morning,
I have attached 2 documents from Nav Canada as well as a link to their website where they released a public statement yesterday talking about workforce reductions and streamlining their operations. https://www.navcanada.ca/EN/Pages/NR-40-2020.aspx
I spoke with Dave Mercer from the Tower and he advised me that Nav Canada is doing a complete restructuring. They have lost $295 million dollars this past quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic and advised that High Level (along with many others) is on the possible chopping block for closing down its operations (noted in the Letter to Stakeholders attachment). They will be starting a study/plan today (September 23rd) until March 2021 I believe. This will determine which Nav Canada operations will remain in service and which ones will be closed / reduced hours from 24hour service stations.
If you have any specific questions, comments, concerns, I will be happy to pass it along to the manager (Todd) as I plan to speak with him sometime next week when he mentioned he is available, as I do have some questions.
Thank you!

Subject: Workforce adjustments / initiation of aeronautical studies
Dear Stakeholder:
As you know firsthand, the aviation sector is facing unparalleled economic and operating challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NAV CANADA took action early in the pandemic to access available government support, and to significantly reduce operating costs and capital spending while continuing to ensure that essential air navigation services remained available to support our customers and their critical operations.
While we had to make the difficult decision to increase service charges for our fiscal year 2021 after exhausting all available options, we have also attempted to minimize the impact of a rate change by using our debt capacity and our liquidity to support our customers by deferring the payment of the increase, interest free over a five year period beginning September 1, 2021.
However, as you know, the current downturn is forecasted to be much larger and longer than any downturn in the history of our industry. Many of our valued customers and industry partners have had to make difficult decisions to adjust services and reduce staffing in recent months.
NAV CANADA is not immune to the economic downturn and severe financial impacts the aviation industry is experiencing. We are also acutely aware that the financial pressures facing the aviation sector cannot be addressed by shifting costs between the various players in the system.
Workforce Adjustments
We remain committed to doing everything we can to minimize the financial impacts for our customers while fulfilling our core safety and service mandate. At this time, we are proceeding with further restructuring of the organization, workforce adjustments and implementation of additional cost-saving measures.
This includes reductions in the number of permanent positions, changes to management compensation and parts of our pension plan, releasing most of our operational students and undertaking some Flight Information Centre closures.
Despite these necessary measures, NAV CANADA remains unwavering in its commitment to safety; any changes to our organization and how it delivers its services are first and foremost evaluated in this context.
55
Assessment of Level of Service
NAV CANADA, as part of its mandate, regularly assesses the services we provide across the country to ensure the right level of service is in place to meet the needs of our customers. As part of this process, aeronautical studies are a key and ongoing mechanism that are applied to ensure that our service delivery is safe and efficient. While we might not have advanced aeronautical studies as rapidly in the past, we recognize that we must do so, given the current pressures on the aviation industry.
In this context, NAV CANADA will be initiating a number of Aeronautical Studies in the near future. The full list of locations that will be subject to aeronautical studies is available in the Appendix.
While the ongoing pandemic provides further stimulus to ensure that levels of service are appropriate in the near term, the studies being initiated reflect traffic and operational trends that were evident prior to the pandemic and are not in any way solely a reflection of the current reduced traffic environment.
NAV CANADA is committed to the application of the Company’s regulated, safety-focused aeronautical study process, which includes robust stakeholder consultation, prior to making a recommendation for any material change to the level of service at any location and seeking Transport Canada concurrence.
Additional information on these aeronautical studies and related consultation process will be made available in coming weeks as we post the Terms of Reference associated with each study.
When making these decisions, we always take a long-term view to preserve the sustainability of the Company, and to preserve the integrity of the ANS. Rest assured, NAV CANADA will be here to support your operations through the delivery of safe, efficient and cost-effective air navigation services as the industry stabilizes and begins to set its sights on recovery.
We thank you for your understanding and support as we weather this challenging period for the aviation industry together. Should you have any questions or require further information on the measures that NAV CANADA is taking, please feel free to reach out to Heather McGonigal, Assistant Vice President, Stakeholder Relations and Communications ([email protected]).
Sincerely,
Neil R. Wilson President and Chief Executive Officer NAV CANADA

FOR ACTION CORRESPONDENCE
67 From: Andrew O'Rourke
Hello Clark & Sandra
Dear Town of High Level Council
Regional Economic Development Initiative REDI Board is requesting our municipal partners to send a letter to the new Minister of Jobs, Economic and Innovation, Doug Schweitzer, and our local MLA Dan Williams.
Each Regional Economic Development Alliance REDA finished a five-year contract with $100,000 operational funding yearly. Now the Provincial Government has offered a three- year contract with a $50,000 operating grant per year. REDI has agreed to work within its means to remain sustainable and does not intend to approach our municipal partners to supplement funding shortfall. But REDI is requesting that our partners assist in one last lobby effort to the Alberta Government.
On September 28, 2020 the Town of Claresholm Council passed a motion to direct a letter to the new Minister of Jobs Economy and Innovation, to appeal for the restoring of Regional Economic Development Alliances investment throughout Alberta, and to cc Mr. Roger Reid MLA Livingstone-Macleod, and the Honourable John Barlow, MP Foothills on that letter.
The Town of Claresholm and the Claresholm Economic Development Committee invite all Regional Economic Development Alliance members, associate members, and industry partners throughout Alberta to join the initiative, and submit a letter from your organization without delay. You are invited and welcome to use the attached template and submit a personalized call for action on behalf of your organization and your REDA! We are stronger together so please act now and join with the municipalities in your region in this call for action.
The Town of Claresholm Council and the Claresholm Economic Development Committee urge the Honourable Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs Economic and Innovation, to work with our governments and industries to carry out the investment and growth strategy and restore the full $100,000 annual investment to the nine Regional Economic Development Alliances’ of Alberta, and offer an investment contract to a full 5-years. · Mayor Doug MacPherson, Town of Claresholm
Attached: 1. Letter from the Town of Claresholm Council, addressed to the Honourable Doug Schweitzer, and cc’d to the MLA Livingstone-Macleod, and MP Foothills. 2. A template to use for your own organization.
68 The Provincial Investment and Growth Strategy is an opportunity for REDA’s to gain back the investment that was recently lost. https://open.alberta.ca/publications/selling-alberta-to-the-world
REDI Chair Lisa Wardley asked that I draft a resolution for each municipal partner to accompany our request.
Request a Council Motion:
That the Town of High Level passes a resolution to direct a letter to the new Minister of Jobs Economy and Innovation, to appeal for the restoring of Regional Economic Development Alliances investment funding to the full $100,000, with a five-year commitment, and to cc Mr. Dan Williams MLA Peace River on that letter.
I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Andrew O’Rourke REDI Manager

RE: [choose your own subject line]
Dear Minister:
Alberta’s Regional Economic Development Alliances (REDAs) were created to stimulate long-term economic development and growth strategies in Alberta’s rural and urban communities. Now, after 20-years of collaboration and team work the nine Alberta REDA’s celebrate 250-community members and industry partners.
In conjunction with membership fees and strategic partnerships, the Alberta REDA’s have survived and progressed by leveraging the provinces annual investment. REDAs provide customized service to communities and industry, they have a proven track-record of attracting investment into key-markets, and consistently bring new technologies and innovation into the strategic plans of municipalities. The coordination of REDA’s provides strength, increases capacity, and attracts investment that was previously considered out of reach.
[Insert a paragraph identifying with your REDA and the value that it brings to your organization. Consider using the new Provincial Investment and Growth Strategy to find language that will be recognized.] https://open.alberta.ca/publications/selling-alberta-to-the-world
Reducing the REDA investment by 50%, and limiting the agreement to 3-years will diminish returns at even greater proportions. The Town of Claresholm Council and the Claresholm Economic Development Committee urge the Honourable Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs Economic and Innovation, to work with our governments and industries to carry out the investment and growth strategy and restore the full $100,000 annual investment to the nine Regional Economic Development Alliances’ of Alberta, and extend the contract to a full 5-years.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned office at your convenience.
Yours Sincerely,
