  • Financial Indicator Graphs 2017
    2017 Financial Indicator Graphs Generated for: FLAGSTAFF COUNTY Financial Indicator Graphs Introduction The financial indicator graphs are intended to serve as a tool that may assist council and administration with operational decisions. The comparative measures may be useful in assessing past performance and for budget planning. Each municipality is compared to a group of similar size urban municipalities, or to rural municipalities with similar tax base. The comparison group is shown on the last slide. Custom graphs can be created comparing your municipality to other Alberta municipalities. Financial Advisory Services is available to assist you in interpreting the information contained in the graphs. Please be aware that advisors will not have access to any of the custom graphs you create, but would still be able to assist with the underlying formulas and data used to create all graphs. It should be noted that that the financial indicator graphs are point-in-time documents. The system is updated daily as new information is added to the municipal financial database. As such graphs will reflect the current data set and the results will be subject to change as the database is updated and verified. However, most information from the previous reporting year will have been posted by the fall of the subsequent year. Other points to note are: - The range for most of the graphs is 2012 to 2017. - Caution should be used when interpreting results as each municipality has unique characteristics affecting how it compares to the group.

    Historic Athabasca Landing Trail AN OVERVIEW Group at Stopping House enroute to Athabasca Edmonton from Landing courtesy NA-2788-2 Archives Glenbow of the ii iv Stantec Consulting Ltd. Introduction The historic Athabasca Landing Trail (ALT) was the first overland route between Fort Edmonton and the southern loop of the Athabasca River known as Athabasca Landing. The trail played a major role in the transportation of goods and services between Edmonton and Athabasca Landing in the late 1800s and early 1900s and was an important corridor for the settlement of the region. Many portions of the historic route are still in use as rural roads, and some portions are being used as recreation trails. Other portions have been abandoned. The ALT is recognized as a significant recreation, tourism, and heritage amenity and is registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT). The TCT route follows the historic route where possible and utilizes other county roads and undeveloped road allowances where use of the historic route is not feasible. The ALT is a key component of the TCT, linking the east- west land route with the northern land and water routes, as shown by the yellow circle in the figure below. Local trail groups have been working for years on revitalizing sections of the trail and recreating a continuous corridor for the ALT. The ALT steering committee was formed in 2008 to guide preparation of a conceptual master plan for the ALT corridor. Its mission statement is: “ . to promote and support the development of the Athabasca Landing Trail, a continuous, non-motorized recreational trail that follows the historic route from Fort Saskatchewan north to Athabasca, and links to other trail systems in Alberta and Canada.” Stuck on the Landing the on Stuck Trail - courtesy Provincial of Alberta/B5682 Archives Historic Athabasca Landing Trail 1 A tha bas ca R iver Athabasca ATHABASCA TRAIL first 100 Landing surveyed by HBC in 1877 (HBC 1875) by Dominion in 1879/80 Kinnoull KINNOULL: named after theScottish home of D.
