The city is nestled in the foothills of the majestic Rocky Mountains in the heart of the Canadian oil patch. An hour’s drive to the west is Banff National Park, which boasts spectacular hiking trails, magnificent wildlife and world‐class ski hills. To the east of Calgary are the badlands and Dinosaur Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its abundance of dinosaur fossils. To the south of Calgary is the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, which commemorates the history and importance of ranching in Canada. Southern Alberta has a rich aboriginal past and the region’s stunning scenery makes it a popular filming location for the movie industry. Calgary is a thriving business centre and the head‐office location for many major corporations. Some of the world’s largest energy companies have a significant presence in Calgary. The city is home to most of Canada’s oil and gas production companies, pipeline operators, oilfield service and drilling companies, and energy‐related engineering and consulting firms. Calgary has also seen phenomenal growth in other industries including manufacturing, transportation, banking and technology. The city is home to the largest number of technology start‐up companies in Canada. It is a major transportation hub for road, rail and air traffic. While the annual Calgary Stampede made the city famous, Calgary also has a reputation for being a vibrant centre for the performing arts such as live music and theatre. The city is home to two protected natural areas: Fish Creek Provincial Park and Nose Hill Park. Calgary has more than 500 km of continuous walking and biking paths, the most extensive network of any major city in North America. From farmers markets to shopping malls, museums and zoos to skateboarding parks, Calgary offers something for every visitor and is a truly unforgettable destination. Weather July is summer in Calgary. Average daytime temperatures are from 20° ‐ 22° C (68° ‐ 72° degrees F). The weather in Calgary can be very changeable, so you might encounter lower or higher temperatures as well as wet and dry days. We recommend that you bring a variety of clothing, including a sweater and a raincoat (although it is less likely you will need a raincoat). Remember, Calgary is near the Canadian Rockies, so snow is even possible in July, but does not happen very often. Currency The unit of currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar. A complete description of the currency can be found on the Calgary Tourism site under General Information & Services. To determine the cost of your stay in Canada in your home currency, you may wish to use an online currency converter. You will find a listing of many different ones on the web. Tourism Opportunities There will be a wide choice of planned and impromptu activities for attendees and companions. You will be able to select from tours and activities of many types. Please see the Companion Tours and visit Tourism Calgary’s web site (http://www.tourismcalgary.com/visitors/home.htm) for suggested itineraries in Calgary. Calgary is located on the footsteps of the Canadian Rockies, one of most beautiful places in Canada and the world. There are numerous activates and places to enjoy in the Rockies including visiting Banff and Lake Louise. More information on these activities can be found on at Travel Alberta’s web‐site, Park’s Canada’s web‐site, and Banff‐Lake Louise Tourism’s web‐ site. http://www.banfflakelouise.com/ http://www1.travelalberta.com/en‐rockies/?CFID=26920834&CFTOKEN=49611137 http://www.banfflakelouise.com/ Transportation From the Airport Taxi, seddans and shuttles are readily available. Taxi Fares are based on meter rates and the approximate fare to Downtown Calgary is between $27 to $30 under normal conditions. Airport Sedans are available on‐demand on the arrivals level curb, adjacent to our taxi stands. The fare for sedans to downtown Calgary is $40. http://www.yyc.com/st/airport_guide/ground_transportation/ground_transportation.htm Conference Location and Hotels The General Meeting will be held in the Calgary Telus Convention Centre as well as the conference hotels. Conference registration and all meeting sessions will be held there on Monday through Thursday. The conference hotels are 1. Hyatt Regency Calgary 2. Calgary Marriott 3. The Fairmont Palliser (Calgary) Reserve Your Room Now for the PES 2009 General Meeting! The IEEE Power & Energy Society would like to request your assistance and support of the 2009 General Meeting by booking your accommodations exclusively at the conference hotels outlined below. While it is often possible to secure less expensive room rates at other hotels outside the contracted room block, in reality this impacts our ability to maintain reasonable registration fees and other associated costs for the conference. Equally important is our ability to determine actual needs for future planning. If we don’t fill our block, IEEE PES is exposed to paying penalty attrition fees, which may impact membership and conference costs in the future. Your loyalty and co‐operation are greatly appreciated. It is suggested that you verify any specifics that are important to you by checking directly with the hotel or visiting their web sites. Hyatt Regency Calgary 700 Centre Street SE Attached to the Calgary Telus Convention Centre, the 355‐room Hyatt Regency Calgary is one of three host hotels for the General Meeting. Standard accommodations feature one or two beds with triple sheets, plush pillows and down blankets in a spacious 400 sq. ft. room. Each room has a laptop safe, generous workstation and high‐speed wired and wireless

  • Archaeology in Alberta 1978
    ARCHAEOLOGY IN ALBERTA, 1978 Compiled by J.M. Hillerud Archaeological Survey of Alberta Occasional Paper No. 14 ~~.... Prepared by: Published by: Archaeological Survey Alberta Culture of Alberta Historical Resources Division OCCASIONAL PAPERS Papers for publication in this series of monographs are produced by or for the four branches of the Historical Resources Division of Alberta Culture: the Provincial Archives of Alberta, the Provincial Museum of Alberta, the Historic Sites Service and the Archaeological Survey of Alberta. Those persons or institutions interested in particular subject sub-series may obtain publication lists from the appropriate branches, and may purchase copies of the publications from the following address: Alberta Culture The Bookshop Provincial Museum of Alberta 12845 - 102 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5N OM6 Phone (403) 452-2150 Objectives These Occasional Papers are designed to permit the rapid dissemination of information resulting from Historical Resources' programmes. They are intended primarily for interested specialists, rather than as popular publications for general readers. In the interests of making information available quickly to these specialists, normal production procedures have been abbreviated. i ABSTRACT In 1978, the Archaeological Survey of Alberta initiated and adminis­ tered a number of archaeological field and laboratory investigations dealing with a variety of archaeological problems in Alberta. The ma­ jority of these investigations were supported by Alberta Culture. Summary reports on 21 of these projects are presented herein. An additional four "shorter contributions" present syntheses of data, and the conclusions derived from them, on selected subjects of archaeo­ logical interest. The reports included in this volume emphasize those investigations which have produced new contributions to the body of archaeological knowledge in the province and progress reports of con­ tinuing programmes of investigations.

  • Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review
    Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard May 4, 2018 Project overview A parks bylaw is a set of rules to regulate the actions and behaviours of park users. These rules are intended to protect park assets, promote safety and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for park users. The Parks and Pathway Bylaw was last reviewed in 2003. Since then the way we use parks has evolved. For example, in recent years goats have been introduced to our parks to help manage weeds, Segways have been seen on pathways and new technologies, such as drones, have become more commonplace. Engagement overview Engagement sought to understand what is important to you in terms of your park usage as part of this Bylaw review to better assess your usage and as a result, our next steps. Engagement is one area that will help us as we review the Parks and Pathway Bylaw. In addition to your input, we are looking into 3-1-1 calls, other reports and best practices from other cities. In alignment with City Council’s Engage Policy, all engagement efforts, including this project are defined as: Purposeful dialogue between The City and citizens and stakeholders to gather meaningful information to influence decision making. As a result, all engagement follows the following principles: Citizen-centric: focusing on hearing the needs and voices of both directly impacted and indirectly impacted citizens Accountable: upholding the commitments that The City makes to its citizens and stakeholders by demonstrating that the results and outcomes of the engagement processes are consistent with the approved plans for engagement Inclusive: making best efforts to reach, involve, and hear from those who are impacted directly or indirectly Committed: allocating sufficient time and resources for effective engagement of citizens and stakeholders Responsive: acknowledging citizen and stakeholder concerns Transparent: providing clear and complete information around decision processes, procedures and constraints.

    The Scenic Geology of Calgary – A Walk at Nose Hill – Dale Leckie 1 The Scenic Geology of Calgary – A Walk at Nose Hill Nose Hill – so much geology to be seen Nose Hill Park is one of the best places to appreciate the geology of Calgary. The park overlooks the city and surrounding area, providing panoramic overviews in all directions. The Bow River valley is several kilometres wide and 200 metres deep, with a complicated geological history. The Rocky Mountains dominate the horizon to the west and the Plains stretch into the distance to the north, east and southeast. Directions Nose Hill Park and the associated hikes are best accessed from two locations. For the best overviews of the Bow River valley, the Rocky Mountains to the west, and to picture the glaciations and Glacial Lake Calgary, park at Edgemont Boulevard parking lot at the intersection of Shaganappi Trail and Edgemont Boulevard. A second location for an overview and to access the glacial erratic, park at the 64th Avenue parking lot, at the intersection of 14 Street NW and 64 Avenue. Use the figure below as a reference to the Scenic Geology of Calgary, as viewed from Nose Hill. The Scenic Geology of Calgary – A Walk at Nose Hill – Dale Leckie 2 • Meandering river sands and floodplain mudstones of the Paleocene Porcupine Hills Formation extend down about 600 metres below the city. These ancient rivers flowed into Alberta during the last mountain-building phase of the Rocky Mountains 62.5 to 58.5 million years ago. Sediment originated from the ancestral Rocky Mountains at the time.
