The County is within the Athabasca River basin; a part of the County’s boundary is the Athabasca River. With a total population of 7,665 (2011), the County has a population density of 1.3 persons per square kilometer, typical of Alberta’s northern rural municipalities. County offices and public works facilities are located in the Town of Athabasca. The County covers a land area of 6,123 square kilometers with a varied landscape consisting primarily of agricultural lands, forested areas and numerous lakes. The lowest elevations occur in the Athabasca River Valley and the highest are in the southern part of the County. There are 2 urban municipalities (Town of Athabasca and Village of Boyle), 8 summer villages and 11 hamlets located within Athabasca County. Towns, villages and summer villages are incorporated municipalities. Hamlets are unincorporated communities within a rural municipality that by definition have both residential and non-residential land uses and are within the County’s jurisdiction. The largest hamlets (2011 Canada Census population) are Colinton (274), Rochester (101), Wandering River (120) and Grassland (117). There are no First Nation Reserves within Athabasca County. Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement is located on the southeastern County boundary, south of the Hamlet of Caslan. Similar to many northern Alberta rural municipalities, Athabasca County has a substantial amount of Crown Land, estimated at approximately one-third of the land base. 11 of 110 1.1 Nature of a Municipal Development Plan A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a statutory planning document that articulates an Alberta municipality’s land use vision, goals, objectives and policies and guides growth and development over the long term. An MDP is general in nature and provides an overall desired future vision for the municipality. The Athabasca County MDP is the overarching policy document that will guide the County’s physical development and will have implications on its social, environmental and economic well-being. It has been developed with a 20 year time frame in mind. Land use planning covers a broad spectrum of subject areas and overlaps with fields such as economic development, environmental management and infrastructure provisions. The Athabasca County MDP recognizes the municipality’s initiatives in other policy and legislative areas. The MDP is one of a series of plans that can be adopted by a municipality. An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is an area-specific plan while an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is a joint planning effort between two or more municipalities. 1.2 Enabling Legislation 1.2.1 Municipal Government Act 632 (3) A municipal development plan (a) must address (i) the future land use within the municipality, (ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality, (iii) the co-ordination of land use, future growth patterns and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities if there is no intermunicipal development plan with respect to those matters in those municipalities, (iv) the provision of the required transportation systems either generally or specifically within the municipality and in relation to adjacent municipalities, and (v) the provision of municipal services and facilities either generally or specifically, (b) may address (i) proposals for the financing and programming of municipal infrastructure, (ii) the co-ordination of municipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the municipality, (iii) environmental matters within the municipality, (iv) the financial resources of the municipality, 12 of 110 (v) the economic development of the municipality, and (vi) any other matter relating to the physical, social or economic development of the municipality, (c) may contain statements regarding the municipality’s development constraints, including the results of any development studies and impact analysis, and goals, objectives, targets, planning policies and corporate strategies, (d) must contain policies compatible with the subdivision and development regulations to provide guidance on the type and location of land uses adjacent to sour gas facilities, (e) must contain policies respecting the provision of municipal, school or municipal and school reserves, including but not limited to the need for, amount of and allocation of those reserves and the identification of school requirements in consultation with affected school boards. 1.2.2 Alberta Land Use Framework/Land Use Policies The Alberta Land Use Framework (LUF) is a provincial planning initiative established in 2009 to complement the adoption of the Albert Land Stewardship Act (ALSA). The purpose of the LUF is to manage growth and to sustain the province’s growing economy, balancing it with Alberta’s social and environmental goals. The LUF sets out an approach to manage public and private lands and natural resources to achieve long-term economic, environmental and social goals. It provides a blueprint for land use management and decision-making that addresses Alberta’s growth pressures. The LUF consists of 7 basic strategies: Strategy 1: Develop 7 regional land use plans based on seven new land use regions. Strategy 2: Create a Land Use Secretariat and establish a Regional Advisory Council for each region. Strategy 3: Cumulative effects management will be used at the regional level to manage the impacts of development on land, water and air. Strategy 4: Develop a strategy for conservation and stewardship on private and public lands. Strategy 5: Promote efficient use of land to reduce the footprint of human activities on Alberta’s landscape Strategy 6: Establish an information, monitoring and knowledge system to contribute to continuous improvement of land use planning and decision-making. Strategy 7: Inclusion of aboriginal people in land use planning. The preparation and adoption of 7 Regional Land Use Plans by the Province is a key component of the LUF. Athabasca County is part of the Upper Athabasca Regional Plan (UARP) region, a large area stretching from Athabasca County in the east to Jasper 13 of 110 National Park in the west.

  • Watershed Stewardship in Alberta: a Directory of Stewardship Groups, Support Agencies, and Resources
    WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA: A DIRECTORY OF STEWARDSHIP GROUPS, SUPPORT AGENCIES AND RESOURCES APRIL 2005 INTRODUCTION FOREWORD This directory of WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA has been designed to begin a process to meet the needs of individuals, stewardship groups, and support agencies (including all levels of government, non- governmental organizations, and industry). From recent workshops, surveys, and consultations, community- based stewards indicated a need to be better connected with other stewards doing similar work and with supporting agencies. They need better access to information, technical assistance, funding sources, and training in recruiting and keeping volunteers. Some groups said they felt isolated and did not have a clear sense that the work they were doing was important and appreciated by society. A number of steps have occurred recently that are beginning to address some of these concerns. The Alberta Stewardship Network, for example, has been established to better connect stewards to each other and to support agencies. Collaboration with other provincial and national networks (e.g. Canada’s Stewardship Communities Network) is occurring on an on-going basis. Internet-based information sites, such as the Stewardship Canada Portal (www.stewardshipcanada.ca), are being established to provide sources of information, linkages to key organizations, and newsletters featuring success stories and progress being made by grassroots stewards. These sites are being connected provincially and nationally to keep people informed with activities across Canada. The focus of this directory is on watershed stewardship groups working in Alberta. The term ‘watershed’ is inclusive of all stewardship activities occurring on the landscape, be they water, air, land, or biodiversity-based.

The survey was structured similar to the survey undertaken by the City of Calgary in 2000. The intent of the study is to provide planners with information to assess the transportation needs of both Alberta Transportation and the City of Edmonton. Roadside interviews were conducted between September and November 2001 at 24 sites on provincial highways entering the study area (Exhibit 1.2.1 Section 1.2) between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. In all just, over 6,500 truckers transporting commodities into and out of the Edmonton Region were interviewed entering and exiting the region on various provincial highways. The information gathered from the survey was scaled up to represent daily truck and commodity movement into and out of the study area. Findings of the study indicate: D Almost 16,000 trucks enter or exit the region on a typical weekday on a 24-hour basis; D Approximately 16,200 Commodity trips are made on a typical weekday on a 24- hour basis; D The highways that carry the majority of the trips into and out of the region include Highway 2 South (20%), Highway 16W (13%), Highway 43 (10%), Highway

Given that Covid- 19 remained a dominant force in Alberta, the 2020-21 fiscal year continued to be a challenging time for the AWC, as it was for many other sectors of Alberta society. However, staff, committee and board members adapted, even finding efficiencies in the ‘new way of doing business’, driven by the pandemic and its associated social and economic restrictions. Throughout the year, the Board of Directors continued to be well engaged, holding virtual board and committee meetings, and continuing to move the AWC forward. Despite working from home for the most part, staff played an integral role in supporting this work. We thank them for their extraordinary efforts in these trying times. A significant challenge was the retirement of our Executive Director, Janet Pomeroy. The Board and I express our heartfelt gratitude for Janet’s tireless commitment and work ethic demonstrated throughout her tenure with the AWC. We wish her the very best in her retirement.
