  • Here These Bylaws Will Have an Important and Immediate Impact
    August 31, 2020 Delivered by Email Mayor Chalmers and City Councillors City of Chestermere 105 Marina Road Chestermere, AB T1X 1V7 Re: Bylaw 019-20, Amendments for Compact Development in Future Development Areas; Bylaw 020-20, Municipal Development Plan Amendment for Planned Lot Development Dear Mayor Chalmers and City Councillors, On behalf of our members, BILD Calgary Region (BILD) is pleased to offer this letter in support of the Amendments to Bylaws 019-20 and 020-20. We believe that the amendments for future development areas proposed in Bylaw 019-20 will create new opportunities and efficiencies with building product and design. Allowing new compact development standards will enable the City of Chestermere to better compete in the greater Calgary Region with those municipalities that already allow, or are considering allowing, similar land uses. The compact development standards will improve Chestermere’s ability to provide choice and affordability in housing options to existing residents and potentially new home owners. We support the proposed amendment in Bylaw 020-20 which would remove the 35% limit for the amount of Planned Lot development within an Outline Plan area that currently exists within MDP policy 3.4.4.4. This will also allow a greater mix of housing options to be available and attract new home owners and increase the flexibility to plan and build desirable and liveable communities, as well as generally increasing residential tax base for the City of Chestermere. We encourage you to visit bildcr.com for industry updates 212 Meridian Road NE • Calgary, AB • T2A 2N6 p: 403.235.1911 • e: [email protected] • w: bildcr.com BILD remains committed to ongoing collaboration with the City of Chestermere’s Council and Administration, continuing to find opportunities that bring benefit to the City, residents and our members.

  • Red Deer River Watershed -Lake Summary 2016
    Red Deer River Watershed -Lake Summary 2016- ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S LAKEWATCH PROGRAM LakeWatch has several important objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. This report is a summary of a sampling project conducted in partnership with the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance with specific project funding from Environment Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund granting program in the summer of 2016. Key parameters are highlighted and compared in this report. Detailed reports on each individual lake can be found in the respective LakeWatch reports at www.alms.ca. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeWatch program. These people prove that ecological apathy can be overcome and give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. Data in this report has been prepared with un-validated 2016 data. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The LakeWatch program is made possible through the dedication of its volunteers. We would like to thank the following volunteers: Buffalo Lake: Richard Gaffney Burnstick Lake: Brenda Madge and Bill Post Chestermere Lake: Kathy & Jay Speck, and Heather Davies Gull Lake: Glenn Fraser Sylvan Lake: Graeme Strathdee, the Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society, and everyone who assisted with the sampling trips. We would also like to thank Breda Muldoon, Ageleky Bouzetos, and Alicia Kennedy who were summer technicians with ALMS in 2016.
