September 28, 2020
AB Today – Daily Report September 28, 2020 Quotation of the day “It’s a bad omen.” NDP Municipal Affairs critic Joe Ceci said the UCP offered little in the way of a relationship reset with municipalities at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association conference. Today in AB On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, October 20. Committees this week The Select Special Public Health Act Review Committee will meet in the afternoon on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as all-day Thursday to draft its final report. The committee was established to correct potential government overreach authorized by the UCP’s controversial Bill 10. Premier watch Premier Jason Kenney spoke at the Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony at Calgary City Hall on Sunday. UCP warns municipalities of tough times ahead UCP heavyweights discussed the province’s plan to get Alberta’s municipalities out of the economic quagmire at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association’s conference Friday — but didn’t offer a major bailout or funding reform. Premier Jason Kenney told conference attendees “there’s no point in trying to deny the reality” of Alberta’s grim fiscal picture, noting the province’s GDP is expected to shrink by 20 per cent this year. Newly minted Municipal Affairs Minister Tracy Allard echoed Kenney’s message during the conference’s virtual bear pit session, which gives local lawmakers the chance to grill members of cabinet. “I hate to say this, but it has to be said — there is a fiscal reckoning coming,” Allard said. Allard suggested big funding increases won’t be coming and that new cash flows can no longer be relied upon to pave over municipalities’ fiscal “sins.” “They cannot be covered up any longer by the revenue that’s no longer here,” she said. -

The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6
The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Dear Premier Kenney, Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable sector is prepared to support the Government of Alberta in this time of crisis to ensure support for communities and individuals. We are a vital aspect of the wider support system and, in many cases, we are at the front-line of caring for this province’s most vulnerable. To ensure continued delivery of essential services in this time of need, the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN)—advocating on behalf of Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable organizations— urges the Government of Alberta to ensure additional funding is available to front-line organizations and provide assurance and flexibility regarding ongoing funding agreements. We are eager to establish clear lines of communication with the Government of Alberta and continue discussions on the impacts of COVID-19 on service delivery and the expectations of the sector. We were pleased to see the province provide emergency funding of $60 million to support select COVID-19-related social services. It was a clear confirmation of the critical role civil society organizations will play in managing this pandemic. However, it is crucial to recognize that many other front-line nonprofits will see increased demand for their services, including care facilities, food banks, and mental health organizations. Beyond front-line COVID-19-related services, many more organizations are considering the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on operations. Now that organizations have taken the necessary precautions to protect staff and stakeholders from the spread of the virus, their attention has turned to the impacts that social isolation measures will have on operations, staffing, service delivery, and funding, including lost casino and event revenue. -

March 17, 2020 Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta [email protected] Honorable Jason Nixon, Minister of Alberta Environme
ALBERTA WILDERNESS ASSOCIATION "Defending Wild Alberta through Awareness and Action” March 17, 2020 Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta [email protected] Honorable Jason Nixon, Minister of Alberta Environment and Parks [email protected] Re: Proposed Sale of Public Land-Golden Sunrise (SE 31-9-13-W4) in Taber, Alberta Dear Premier Kenney and Minister Nixon, For a number of weeks, AWA has been working with AEP Department staff to understand the rationale behind the decision made to sell the quarter section of public land, SE 31-9-13-W4, located near Taber. We are concerned with the decision making process involved and who and how the assessment was made that described this land as “very little multiple use value to the support Department programs e.g. grazing or wildlife habitat” (email correspondence to AWA from R. Simieritsch, 2020). To the best of our ability we found this land consists of native prairie (classified as a Category 4 under the Native Prairie Vegetation Inventory), a threatened ecosystem in Alberta. The land also has a relatively large wetland or ephemeral water body. Native grasslands contribute significantly to carbon sequestration and drought resiliency, and in general, provide habitat for almost 75% of Alberta’s species at risk. There has been no public consultation, and a complete lack of transparency surrounding this sale. As such, AWA believes that the offer to sell this land should be withdrawn. It seems department officials may have failed to appropriately monitor, and protect the ecological integrity of this parcel from infringing agricultural activities. During the course of our research, AWA found that the southwest corner of this section was irrigated, and we have not received confirmation about whether there was permission given to irrigate this land. -
AB Today – Daily Report October 15, 2020
AB Today – Daily Report October 15, 2020 Quotation of the day “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services into the future.” Finance Minister Travis Toews indicates cuts are coming in the 2021 budget. Today in AB Written by Catherine Griwkowsky On the schedule The house will reconvene Tuesday, October 20, for the fall session. In the legislature Justice Minister Kaycee Madu met with the Métis Settlements General Council in the legislature on Tuesday to discuss policing as part of the government’s ongoing review. Next spring’s budget will include cuts, finance minister teases Finance Minister Travis Toews warned “tough decisions” are ahead as he invited public feedback ahead of budget 2021. To reduce spending, the finance minister said he is looking at creating “efficiencies” in the public sector. “It’s clear the status quo is not sustainable, but this is also a great opportunity to reset our course, not only for the next fiscal plan, but for future generations of Albertans,” Toews told reporters. “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services into the future.” While the UCP ran on a promise of balanced budgets, the pandemic — and ensuing oil price collapse and economic challenges — has thrown those plans for a loop. “The four-year fiscal plan we introduced with Budget 2019 was working,” Toews said. “Since that time, Alberta has been hit by a very serious triple black swan event.” The deficit is on track to hit a record high of $24.2 billion in 2020-21, with debt forecast to hit $99.6 billion by March 31, 2021. -

Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”.
