In Saskatchewan, diversification of agriculture and the food sector is a major strategy for economic development. During the 1990s, diversification through ethanol production, along with its linkages with canle feeding has attracted much public attention. Communities of different skis in Saskatchewan, seeking economic opportunities have shown interest in ethanol production because of the perceived benefits a region can capture from such a project. In spite of this interest and perceived benefits, there was no information on the type and magnitude of economic impacts which would accrue to different sized communities. This study was undertaken to fill this information gap by developing knowledge of the economic impacts various levels of communities could capture fiom ethanol-cattle production complexes. Since Saskatchewan communities operate in a hierarchical fashion and are classified into seven levels using central place theory, questions concerning economic development should be viewed in a regional hierarchical framework. A seven-region hierarchically-based interregional input-output model for the Saskatchewan economy was constructed using Supply-Demand Pool (SDP) method in combination with logical assumptions regarding trade patterns within the central place region. It was assumed that higher-level regions are surplus regions in goods produced by non-primary sectors, and hence ship excess supply to producers and final users in the dominated lower-level regions and outside of the province. On the other hand, it was assumed that the hinterland region dominates trade in goods in the primary sectors. The hinterland earned income by producing and supplying goods and services in the primary sectors to the higher-level regions and outside the province. The model consisted of 14 aggregated sectors, seven household sectors. and allowed for net flows of Iabor income through commuting patterns of workers who resided in the seven regions. At the same time the consumption expenditures of residents in a particular region were adjusted for outshopping purchases. The estimated model was used to assess the economic impacts fiom the construction phase and operation phase of an integrated ethanol-cattle production complex across six hierarchical regions. The major findings of this study were that under both phases of the project, intraregional output and labor income impacts occuning in the higher-level regions were larger than those in the lower-level regions. Also, the higher-level regions experienced larger interregional impacts and had spillover coefficients of smaller magnitude compared to lower-level regions. The intraregionaf output and labor income impacts tended to decrease as one moves down the hierarchy fiom top to bottom regions. On the other hand the spillovers or leakages were increasing as one moves down the hierarchy tiom higher-level regions to lower-Ievel regions. The higher-level regions have more diversified economies and smaller leakages of income md spending than lower-level regions. On the other hand, lower-level regions experienced large income leakages through input purchases and consumer spending in neighbouring higher-level regions. The results indicate that lower-level regions will not benefit more than higher-level regions fiom the development of an intepted ethanol-cattle production complex. Thus, if the goal of public hnding of ethanol projects is to maximize impacts in the project-region, then higher-level regions would be preferred to lower-level regions. This raises a concern that the opportunity of pursuing regional development through ethanol processing, may not reach all those communities who need it the most, especially the smaller communities. It is important to mention that integrated ethanol-cattle production continues to enjoy subsidies £?om the governments. However, the results of this study did not address the costs associated with using subsidies to promote ethanol development.

Ph.D University of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon, September 1996. Spatial Diffusion of Economic Impacts of Intemated Ethanol-Cattle Production Comolex in Saskatchewan- Advisor: Prof. S. N. Kulshreshtha In Saskatchewan, agriculture is an important sector of the economy. Adverse factors such as decline in world commodity prices get transmitted into reduce farm incomes for regions like Saskatchewan that are highly dependent on foreign exports of wheat and barley. In addition a combination of factors such as the labor-saving technology adopted in agriculture over the years and other natural-resource based activities, and consoldation of the trade centre system, have created unbalanced regional growth. Most rural communities have lower incomes and high levels of unemployment than urban centres. At the same time the viability rural communities is threatened by population loss. In an attempt to alleviate the problems affecting most rural communities, the government in Saskachewan has recognized the need to develop an economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture. In this regard, diversification of agriculture and the food sector was selected as a major strategy for economic development During the 1990s, diver~~cationthrough ethanol production, along with its linkages with cattle feeding. has attracted much public attention. Communities of different sizes in Saskatchewan seeking economic opportunities have shown interest in ethanol production because of the perceived benefits a region can capture from such a project In spite of this interest and the perceived benefits,

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • 5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
    CA PDF Page 1 of 92 Energy East Project Part B: Saskatchewan and Manitoba Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015, so it contains figures and text descriptions that refer to the October 2014 Project design. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement Program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on TLRU, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. Volume 25 for Prairies region provides important supporting information for this section; Volume 25 reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU.
