Community & Business Profile Marwayne: Life from All Angles Marwayne’s slogan plays off the village’s unique street configuration and acknowledges the history of our community. While Marwayne has retained its rural, small- town atmosphere, it fosters a modern business culture in an oil, gas, and agriculture rich region, a region that is open for business 24-hours a day. Choosing our community means you are choosing the Marwayne advantage: a lifestyle that embraces everything needed for a rich and fun-filled life that balances community, family, business and play.

BUSINESS: Marwayne’s approach to economic development is guided by a desire to support local business, foster prosperity, and develop an economy and labor force that is sufficiently diverse. If you don’t know where you’re going . you’ll probably end up somewhere else! (Mark Twain) The Village has . annexed land for light industrial/commercial development; . developed an Area Structure Plan and appropriate zoning . ensured communication between the County and Village about future land use and development; . developed a Municipal Development Plan and Sustainability Plan; . established an Economic Development Committee; and . maintained regional partnerships with Alberta’s HUB, the Lloydminster Economic Development Corporation, Community Futures, and the Vermilion River Regional Alliance. FAMILY: Marwayne strives to build and maintain a vibrant, safe, and healthy community with a strong social fabric that supports the family. Great communities don’t just happen.

    1. That the 2021 Airport Strategic Master Plan Be Received and Filed

    RPT 21-110 TITLE: Airport - Strategic Master Plan DATE: March 15, 2021 TO: Airport Advisory Committee PUBLIC: X INCAMERA: RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the 2021 Airport Strategic Master Plan be received and filed. 2. That Public Works Administration, with direction from the Airport Advisory Committee, uses the recommendations of the Plan as the Airport priorities in their General Fund Budget submissions to Council over the next 10 years. TOPIC & PURPOSE: To review the Airports’ Strategic Master Plan and receive direction on its implementation. Over the years, the airport environment changes with new regulations affecting operations, infrastructure ageing and local economic climate fluctuations which may impact other aspects of this transportation system. Therefore every few years the entire airport transportation system needs to be analyzed to find global improvements for the next 5, 10 and 20 year horizons. BACKGROUND: The previous Airport Master Plan was completed in 2009 which was primarily an infrastructure assessment. The 2021 Strategic Master Plan focuses on the strategic implementation of capital and operational areas. Provides guidance on measuring performance indicators to best situate the airport and city for success in the current and forecasted economic environment of our region. RPT 21-110 Page 2 of 4 In January 2020 Prince Albert City Council approved the Airport Budget, including approval for Administration to proceed with the development of an Airport Strategic Master Plan to help address the Airport Advisory Committee Work

    Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide

    University of Alberta Evaluation of the Effects of Canadian Climatic Conditions on Pavement Performance Using the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide by Jhuma Saha A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ©Jhuma Saha Edmonton, Alberta Fall 2011 Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract This thesis attempts to explore the implementation of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Canada, specifically in Alberta. In order to achieve this goal, quality of Canadian climate data files used for the MEPDG and its effects on flexible pavement performance were evaluated. Results showed that temperature and precipitation data used in the MEPDG are close to Environment Canada data. This study demonstrated that asphalt concrete rutting, total rutting and longitudinal cracking were sensitive to Canadian climate. However, alligator cracking, transverse cracking and International Roughness Index (IRI) were found less sensitive to climatic factors.

    Voices of the Village October 2020 NEWSLETTER

    Voices of the Village October 2020 NEWSLETTER 2020 Walking Trail Project almost complete! As you may have noticed by now, the Village of Marwayne is in the midst of finalizing construction on the first phase of our walking trail system. The new asphalt trail begins on 6th Street North and runs directly south through to 5th Street North. The trail continues in and around the ball diamonds before coming to an end at the back alley adjacent to 3rd Avenue. Being that the summer has sadly come to an end, the Village strongly encourages residents to enjoy these last few weeks of fall and go see the trail system for themselves. Rest assured, if you are not able to check out the trails just yet, the Village is committed to providing adequate snow removal in the winter months in so that you may continue to enjoy the trail system in the off season. The trail system was designed to serve as a means for pedestrian travel throughout the community, connecting our people to all of the amenities Marwayne has to offer. As the Village continues to develop the pathway over the next several years, we hope that our residents will take full advantage of this outdoor recreational opportunity. Happy trails!
