Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock Alberta Provincial Electoral Divisions Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock Compiled from the 2011 Census of Canada and National Household Survey Introduction This report presents the statistical profile for the Provincial Electoral Division (PED) of Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock. 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 the document.

  • Belgian Catholic Relations with “Others” in Western Canada, 1880-1940
    Belgian Catholic Relations with “Others” in Western Canada, 1880-1940 CORNELIUS J. JAENEN University of Ottawa Belgians arrived in western Canada when the Catholic hierarchy was largely francophone, identified with selective immigration and an ideology of agriculturalism. Francophone Catholics were the dominant European element in the west in the fur trade and initial settlement periods. Following the Red River resistance movement and the creation of the province of Manitoba in 1870, the Catholic Church sought to retain its prominent role through the repatriation of Franco-Americans and the recruitment of francophone European Catholic agricultural settlers. This immigration effort extended to Belgium, perceived as an orthodox Catholic realm, populated by two ethnic groups – Walloons and Flemings – and the home of the Séminaire Anglo-Belge of Bruges and the American College of the University of Louvain that trained clergy specifically for North America. The resulting emigration did not always correspond to the clerical vision in the Canadian west. The majority of early French-speaking Walloon immigrants, for example, were more often involved in coal mining than farming and their religious views and practices usually were controversial. On the other hand, the Flemish-speakers were interested in taking up homesteads, or establishing themselves as dairy farmers near St. Boniface/Winnipeg. These Flemings were conservative Catholics, a number who also spoke French, but they were not the first choice of the colonizing clergy who wanted francophones. The immigration agents who worked with the clergy were interested in maintaining a francophone Historical Papers 2007: Canadian Society of Church History 18 Belgian Catholic Relations with “Others” in Western Canada Catholic balance with the incoming anglophone settlers from Ontario and immigrants such as the Icelanders, Mennonites and Doukhobors.

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.
