Active City Calgary Active city calgary Continue Calgary Arts Development believes there are parallels between the creative economy and the active economy, and we'd like to see artists be part of the conversations that are happening around Calgary's active economy. If you are interested in participating in the development of a collective vision and framework to maximize the potential of our active economy, sign up for the ActiveCITY Summit 2019 using the CADA promo code and we will take care of your registration fee. The event takes place in Winsport (88 Canada Olympic Rd. SW) on September 18, 2019. Learn more about eventbrite.ca. The $3 trillion global active economy incorporates various industries such as sport, active recreation, health and wellness, and the technology and tourism sectors. For cities committed to increasing liveliness and liveability, becoming a global leader in the active economy requires collaboration, planning, and engagement. In Calgary, the active economy encompasses thousands of organizations and hundreds of thousands of people, fueling the economic and social prosperity of our community. Over the next year, the ActiveCITY Collective will engage thousands of Calgarians to develop a collective vision and framework to maximize the potential of our active economy and transform Calgary into Canada's most liveable city. The ActiveCity 2019 Summit kicks off this commitment. The ActiveCITY Summit traces a path forward for Calgary's sports business ecosystem. With over 2,000 organizations identified as participating members of our active economy, it's important that as many stakeholders as possible are on the table. Mary Moran, President & CEO, Calgary Economic Development and ActiveCITY Board Member.Join community leaders and experts at the ActiveCITY Summit 2019 to discuss the future of our active economy. Through dynamic speakers, panels and practical working groups, we will discuss the issues facing our active economy, including how collaboration can lead to innovation and what trends are driving the future of the active economy. The ActiveCITY Collective has bold goals for this community. Our goal is not only to turn Calgary into Canada's most liveable city, but to undertake the greatest public engagement in the history of our city. The insights generated will be critical to advancing the economic strategy of our community, Calgary in the New Economy, Jason Ribeiro, Director of Strategy, Calgary Economic Development and President of ActiveCITY Public Engagement and Communications Working Group.Register for the ActiveCity Summit 2019. So hundreds of citizens with different backgrounds gathered on Wednesday to to harness that energy, hoping to move into the future with a plan to give the Calgarians a platform - centered on an active economy - to rally about. Communication and connection are advantageous and from each other, said David Legg, professor of the department of health and physical education at Mount Royal University and one of the personalities leading the movement to bring together the voices of sport, active recreation, health and well-being, technology, tourism and the media. We have a dream of running the largest engagement platform in Calgary's history. We want 5% of the population -- 65,000 people -- to commit to helping us understand what's active in our city and how the active economy can make Calgary the most active city in the world. I.e... if it's not already, says Legg.Ma though Calgary is the most active city in the world, Legg and a handful of like-minded Calgarians have tried to improve on that label by trying to engage citizens to develop a collective vision and framework to maximize the potential of the city's active economy. it's a term that's certainly made up, Legg says, but it's made up of nearly 1,000 organizations and hundreds of thousands of people, fueling the community's economic and social prosperity. We have divided the active economy into several groups, Legg said. And this includes tourism, high performance sports, recreation, gardening, yoga, clothing sold in the Cheks sports of the world ... it's a work in progress. This article is about the Canadian city.

It is located at the confluence of the Bow River and elbow river in the south of the province, in an area of hills and grasslands, about 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies, about 299 km south of the provincial capital of Edmonton and about 240 km north of the Canadian-U.S. border. The city still has the southern end of the Canada-defined urban area, the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor. [12] The city had a population of 1,285,711 in 2019, making it the most populous city in Alberta and the most populous in western Canada. In 2016, Calgary had a metropolitan population of 1,392,609, making it the fourth largest census metropolitan area (CMA) in Canada and the second largest in Western Canada (after Vancouver). Calgary's economy includes activities in the energy, financial services, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health and wellness, retail and tourism sectors. The Calgary metropolitan region is home to Canada's second-highest number of corporate locations among the country's 800 largest companies. In 2015 Calgary had the highest number of millionaires per capita of any major Canadian city. In 1988, it became the first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympic Games. The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Calgary the most liveable city in North America in both 2018 and 2019. Calgary was one of the top 5 for this title for the 10 years. Calgary was also ranked as the best city in the world for drivers in 2019. Etymology Calgary is named after Calgary on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, U.K. [18] In turn, the name comes from a kald and gart compound, similar Norse words, meaning cold and garden, probably used when called by the Vikings who inhabited the Inner Hebrides. Alternatively, the name could be Gaelic Cala ghearraidh, which means meadow beach (pasture), or Gaelic for clear running water or bay farm. The indigenous peoples of southern Alberta referred to the Calgary area as elbows, in reference to the sharp curve made by the Bow River and elbow river. In some cases, the area was called after the reeds that grew along the banks of the river, reeds that had been used for fashion arches. In the black-footed language, the area was known as Mohkànstsis ak'piyoyis, which means elbow many houses, reflecting its strong presence of settlers. The shortest form of the name Blackfoot, Mohkànstsis, which simply means elbow,[20][21][22] was the popular indigenous term for the Calgary area. [23] [24] [25] In the Nakoda (Stoney) language, the area is known as Wincheesh-pah or Wenchi Ispase, both of which mean elbow. [20] In the Nehiyaw (Cree) language, the area was known as Ot'skwanihk (ᐅᑑᐢᑲᐧᓂᕁ) meaning elbow house or Ot'skwunee meaning elbow. In Tsuut'ina (Sarcee), the area is known as Guts'ists'i (older orthography, Kootsis-w) meaning elbow. [20] In the Slavey language, the area was known as Klincho-tinay-indihay which means many horse towns, referring to the Calgary Stampede[20] and the heritage of the city's settlers. There have been several attempts to revive Calgary's indigenous names.

  • Recruit Handbook Belongs to ______
    Welcome to 2137 Calgary Highlanders Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps This handbook is designed for new recruits at 2137 Calgary Highlanders RCACC. Use this handbook. Read it, make notes in it, ask questions about it, and discuss it with your section commander, Platoon Warrant Officer and other senior Cadets. Talk about it with your parents (let them read it). RELAX! We don’t expect you to know all this right away. Take your time over the next few weeks and read this - it’ll help at Cadets. Membership in the Corps is a privilege and we expect that you will maintain a high level of dress, behaviour and attendance. We believe that your first priority is to your family, your second should be to your formal education, and we ask that you make membership in Cadets all or a part of your third priority. Treat your regular parade nights as you would a job. If you have a valid reason for not being here, let us know. We understand the first two priorities. One of the fastest ways out of this Corps is not behaving like a young adult and being responsible. If you are having difficulty making Cadets regularly, discuss this with your section commander. We want to help you make your Cadet experience one of the best experiences in your life! This Recruit Handbook belongs to _____________________________________ .
