  • Alberta Custom Rates Survey : Crop and Pastureland Lease and Rental 2016
    Alberta Custom Rates Survey Crop and Pastureland Lease and Rental 2016 Economics and Competitiveness Branch INTRODUCTION This Custom Rate Survey was conducted by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Economics and Competitiveness Branch, Statistics and Data Development Section. The data presented in this report was obtained by contacting producers and custom operators and thus represent actual charges. Please note that some instances may be “good neighbor rates” as opposed to commercial rates. The reader should be aware that varying lease and rental arrangements in different areas of the province could significantly affect the rates charged from year to year. The intent of the survey is to provide producers with additional information to help with their farm management decisions. The quality of data is dependent on the cooperation received by producers as well as commercial custom operators. We would like to thank all the survey participants who willingly provided the information for this report. If you are aware of anyone who is a custom operator that has not been contacted, but wish to participate in the survey, please do not hesitate to refer them to me. The assistance of Reynold Jaipaul, Roy Larsen, Guangzhi Liu, Melodie Mynzak, Marian Elson and Pamela Triska of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is greatly appreciated.

    JOURNAL OF ALBERTA POSTAL HISTORY Issue #22 Edited by Dale Speirs, Box 6830, Calgary, Alberta T2P 2E7, or [email protected] Published in February 2020. POSTAL HISTORY OF RED DEER RIVER BADLANDS: PART 2 by Dale Speirs This issue deals with the northern section of the Red Deer River badlands of south-central Alberta from Kneehill canyon to Rosedale. The badlands portion of the river stretches for 200 kilometres, gouged out by glacial meltwaters. The badlands are the richest source of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs in the world. Originally settled by homesteaders, the coal industry dominated from the 1920s to its death in the 1950s. Since then, the tourist industry has grown, with petroleum and agriculture strong. 2 Part 1 appeared in JAPH #13. Index To Post Offices.

Below is a modern map of the area, showing Drumheller’s central position in the badlands. It began in 1911 as a coal mining village and grew rapidly during the heyday of coal. After World War Two, when railroads converted to diesel and buildings were heated with natural gas, Drumheller went into a decades-long decline. The economic slump was finally reversed by the construction of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, the world’s largest fossil museum and a major international tourist destination.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Wheatland County / Rocky View County INTERMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 018-1011 © ROCKY 018-1011 VIEW COUNTY Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. WHAT IS AN INTERMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP)? An IDP is a plan that is jointly developed by two municipalities that share a boundary. The purpose of an IDP is to minimize land use and development conflicts, provide opportunities for collaboration and communication, and outline processes for the resolution of issues that may arise within the area of mutual interest adjacent to the shared boundary. The IDP may: • Establish how the two municipalities will work together • Address future land use, subdivision and development of land • Identify potential opportunities to co-ordinate transportation, services, and utilities across the shared boundary 2. WHAT IS AN INTERMUNICIPAL COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK (ICF)? An ICF formalizes existing collaborative work between municipalities that share a boundary. The primary goal an ICF is to ensure that neighbouring municipalities work together to achieve efficient service delivery (transportation; water and wastewater; solid waste; emergency services and recreation). As well, it provides a clear set of expectations for how conflict should be resolved if service-related issues arise. RVC is working with its neighbours to identify common services, and the best way to deliver them in a manner beneficial to residents of both municipalities. 3. WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN AN IDP AND AN ICF? Land use and development relies on the provision of services. In order to ensure that future and existing land uses are compatible with the services available to support them, an ICF is not complete unless an IDP is completed.

This report details Summit’s methods and findings, as well as management recommendations for ESAs. Methods involved the review of all available information (including the most up to date provincial and federal legislation), two public information sessions and an online survey for public feedback on methods and criteria, mapping natural landscape features in the county at a desktop level, completing field surveys of mapped ESAs and revising mapping accordingly. As well, Summit subcontracted Arrow Archaeology Limited to complete an historical resources report, which is an appendix in this document. The report outline is according to the Request for Proposal Terms of Reference provided by Mountain View County. The ESAs were determined according to specified criteria that was used by Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd., and each ESA was ranked from one to four, one being the most pristine and four the least.

  • Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study Update Notice
    Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study Study update notice We would like to provide an update on the status of the Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study. The multi-year study started in fall 2017 and we recognize there is tremendous interest in new flood mapping products. Municipal review and public engagement for draft flood inundation maps and related technical reports is complete. In response to feedback we received, internal review of hydraulic modelling continues and revisions to flood inundation mapping are underway to reflect the impact of previously unidentified culverts. Internal review of draft flood hazard maps continues, and a new approach to mapping floodways and updating flood hazard maps is being implemented. The new approach will better balance flood adaptation and resilience priorities and provide expanded flood hazard information to enhance public safety and inform local decision-making. We are exploring future municipal review and public engagement opportunities for draft flood hazard mapping, and will provide an update when more information becomes available. The Upper Red Deer River Hazard Study is being completed under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, the goals of which include enhancement of public safety and reduction of future flood damages through the identification of river and flood hazards. The provincial study was co-funded through the federal National Disaster Mitigation Program. More information about the Alberta Flood Hazard Identification Program can be found at: www.floodhazard.alberta.ca
