  • Transmission Reinforcement in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) Area
    Transmission Reinforcement in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) Area For more information please contact the AESO at 1-888-866-2959, www.aeso.ca or [email protected] Who is the AESO? Alberta’s transmission system, also referred to as the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES), is planned and operated by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO). The transmission system is comprised of the high-voltage lines, towers and equipment (generally 69 kV and above) that transmit electricity from generators to lower voltage systems that distribute it to cities, towns, rural areas and large industrial customers. Our job is to maintain safe, reliable and economic operation of the provincial transmission grid. Where is the AESO’s planning study region? The AESO’s planning study region runs from Cold Lake south through the Battle River, Wainwright and Vegreville areas, and east to the Provost area. The Central East region also covers Lloydminster, at the border with Saskatchewan. Larger communities in this region include Cold Lake, Bonnyville, Vermilion, Kitscoty, Lloydminster, St. Paul, Elk Point, Vegreville, Wainwright, Hardisty, Sedgewick, Strome, Jarrow, Edgerton, Castor, and Killarney Lake. Why is transmission development required in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) area? Transmission system reinforcement is needed in the study region to meet growing demand for electricity from oil sands development and pipelines, and to interconnect proposed gas fired electricity generation as well as wind farms in the study region. The AESO has received applications to interconnect over 500 megawatts (MW) of wind power and natural gas generation projects in Central East Alberta.

The feeling is it would be more efficient to have hospital staff assigned to a patient when Emergency Medical Services (EMS) drops them off so ambulances are free to respond to calls. Lara Harries, consultant with Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP), shared information on the Rhapsody Awards for 2020, and the Building a Better Community Rural Workshop it is hosting.

This profile is based on the electoral boundaries as defined by the Alberta Electoral Divisions Act, Chapter E-4.2, 2010. A PED is a territorial unit represented by an elected Member to serve in the Alberta Provincial Legislative Assembly. Data in this report have been specially tabulated from Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Canada and the 2011 National Household Survey, by allocation of Statistics Canada block face reference points to PEDs. These data include the following characteristics: age, sex, marital status, household types, language, Aboriginal identity, ethnic origin, place of birth, mobility, dwelling characteristics, education, labour force activity and income. The global non-response rate (GNR) for the PED of Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock is 36.0%. The GNR combines both complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The GNR is an indicator of data quality, where a smaller GNR suggests more accuracy. When the GNR is 50% or above, the data are suppressed. The GNR is identified for each region. A higher GNR indicates the need for user caution. Users are advised to refer to the endnotes of this PED profile for further information regarding data quality and definitions. A map for this PED can be found at the end of

  • Relocation of the Vegreville Care Centre: the Impact of Changing Environments on Residents, Family Caregivers, and Staff
    Relocation of the Vegreville Care Centre: The Impact of Changing Environments on Residents, Family Caregivers, and Staff Prepared by: Laurel A. Strain, PhD Deanna Wanless, MA Alberta Centre on Aging University of Alberta February 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 2008, the Vegreville Care Centre was relocated to a new, purpose-built, cottage- style, 60-bed long-term care facility, and the existing facility was closed. Working in partnership with the former East Central Health Region, Rockliff Pierzchajlo Architects & Planners Ltd. (the architectural firm responsible for the new facility design), and Alberta Seniors and Community Supports, researchers from the Alberta Centre on Aging at the University of Alberta conducted a case study on the relocation of the Care Centre. The objective of the study was to explore the impact of the new facility on residents, families, and staff, with particular attention given to environmental factors. This report provides an overview of the study methods and key findings. Data were collected over a 15-month period (April 2008 – June 2009). At baseline, 39 residents, 37 family caregivers, 56 staff members, and 4 key informants participated in the study. The first follow-up occurred four months after relocation to the new Care Centre. The second follow-up took place 12 months after the move. Attention here focuses on views about relocation and the move, an assessment of location, the physical environment, the social/care environment, and the impact on the residents’, family caregivers’, and staff members’ situations. Changes in both the physical and social/care environments occurred prior to and after the move.
