Offset Project Report for CALGARY BOARD of EDUCATION ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project Offset Project Report for CALGARY BOARD OF EDUCATION ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT ECI, Offset Project Report - 1 Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project Offset Project Report for CALGARY BOARD OF EDUCATION ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT PROJECT DOCUMENT INFORMATION Project Title: Offset Project Report for CALGARY BOARD OF EDUCATION ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT Date: December 19, 2011 Reporting Period: August 1st, 2003 – July 31st, 2011 PROJECT SCOPE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project title is Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project The project’s purpose and objective(s) are: The purpose and objective of this project is to identify Offsets attributable to the project activities and either: a. Forward sell (Ex-Ante) the potential Offsets and at later date, Verify and settle the difference, or b. Verify the Offsets and sell them (Ex-Post) on the spot market, or c. some combination of a. and b. above. The Project Proponent, ECI, will distribute funds resulting from the sale of the Offsets to project participants in accordance with written agreements. Date when the project began: The project start date is 1 August, 2003. The project is the result of actions taken on or after 1 January, 2002. Expected lifetime of the project The expected lifetime of this project is eight years. Credit start date The start date for credit generation is planned to be 1 August, 2003. Credit duration period The credit duration period is eight years from 1 August, 2003 through 31 July, 2011. Although some Buildings are expected to enter the project at significantly different times during the eight year period, the end date for all Buildings in this project is the same. ECI, Offset Project Report - 2 December 19 - 2011 Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project Actual emissions reductions This project has resulted in the reduction of 90,198 tCO2e. Quantification Protocol The Project Proponent elected to use the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, Quantification Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Version 1.0, quantification Option C – Whole Facility, Simple Approach, published October 2010, for this project. Protocol Justification This is an Emission Reductions (ER) Project that upgrades numerous static fossil fuel burning systems and numerous electrical systems in Calgary Board of Education School Buildings. This project includes a number of emission reduction technologies of varying size that are difficult to measure on an individual basis but whose overall effect can be measured with accuracy at the building electrical and gas utility meters. This has lead the proponent to select the Quantification Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Commercial and Institutional Buildings, quantification Option C, Whole Facility, Simple Approach as it catered to the multitude of technologies implemented by this project in a total manner rather than on an individually metered basis which was considered uneconomical. Option C, the whole building approach, offers an economical, measureable, complete, consistent, accurate, transparent and conservative methodology to record the fossil fuel and electricity energy savings attributable to the technology upgrades that could be used to determine the Emission Reduction Offsets. Had these project technologies not been installed there would not have been a decrease in the use of electricity and fossil fuels resulting in emission reductions. The decrease in emissions is additional to what would have happened in absence of this project. ECI, Offset Project Report - 3 December 19 - 2011 Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project Legal land description of the project or the unique latitude and longitude A list of the locations of the specific schools participating in this Project, by address and legal land description, is provided in Annex A to this report. Ownership The Project Developer is able to demonstrate a clear, legal claim of the greenhouse gas reductions achieved from the offset project by way of Legal Land Titles and/or Lease Agreements in those instances where school buildings were located on land not owned by the Calgary Board of Education. Reporting and verification details The Project Proponent, by way of this Offset Project Report, is confirming that the project has been completed as of July 31, 2011. The Project Proponent has selected an accredited Verifier who has demonstrated: a) competence in the area being verified b) independence c) third party status d) is willing to sign a statement of non-conflict and e) meets additional requirements that may be imposed by the AOS at the time of verification. Project activity This project meets the eligibility criteria for the Alberta Offset System due to the following facts: a. This project occurs and the offsets are generated in Calgary, Alberta where the Calgary Board of Education operates its school facilities. b. The offsets generated result from actions not required by law, are beyond business as usual practices and are beyond sector common practices at the time of the project. c. The offsets generated result from actions taken after 1 January, 2002 and the offsets generated occur on or after January 1, 2002 because the equipment that generated the offsets was not installed until after January 1st 2002. d. The offsets generated were real because: they were measured from metered data, ECI, Offset Project Report - 4 December 19 - 2011 Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project they were demonstrable and quantifiable since they could be determined using techniques provided in the protocol, they were verifiable since the techniques, and data could be recorded and reviewed by a competent trained third party. e. The offsets have clear ownership outlined in a legally binding contractual document signed by all project participants. f. The offsets are counted once for compliance purposes. g. The offsets are implemented according to a Government of Alberta Approved quantification protocol as identified earlier in this document. h. The offsets shall be registered on the Alberta Emissions Offset Registry. i. The offsets generated as a result of this project plans shall be verified by a verification entity that meets the requirement for a third party auditor under section 18 of the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation and the verifier shall be required to issue statements supporting their eligibility under this criteria.

(ECI). Contracts for the assignment and transfer of emission reduction credits give ECI the legal right and title to the emission reduction credits from the Calgary Board of Education. Proceeds from the sale of emission reduction credits resulting from this project shall be shared amongst participating parties in accordance with contractual agreements. The project is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The specific locations of school buildings in which the energy efficiency upgrades were carried out was provided in Annex A to the Offset Project Plan. This project achieved GHG Emission Reductions through the application of two classes of technologies that decreased the schools consumption of fossil fuels and decreased the schools use of electricity. Technologies used to decrease the schools consumption of fossil fuels were the upgrading heating systems, reprogramming system controllers, the resealing building envelopes and the upgrading water heating systems. Technologies used to decrease the schools consumption of electricity consisted of the installation of more efficient lighting, motion sensors, programmable controllers and the use of light sensors. The project used the IPMVP “Whole Building” approach as outlined in the AOS Quantification Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Version 1.0, dated October 2010, Option C, Simple Approach to develop baselines and project improvements. Specifics are presented in the Offset Project Plan. Emission Reduction Offsets generated in this manner were multiplied by a factor of 0.9 to comply with the “Whole Building” approach methodology selected. ECI, Offset Project Report - 6 December 19 - 2011 Calgary Board of Education Energy Efficiency Project Baseline information was collected using existing system data and utility bills for a consecutive 12 month period in accordance with IPMVP1 guidelines. Baselines were normalized for degree heating days, were presented and discussed in the Offset Project Plan. Improvements

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

  • NOVEMBER 2004 Jim Coutts
    THE TENETS AND CONSTITUENCY ROOTS OF LIBERALISM — OVERHAULING THE RED MACHINE Jim Coutts When Prime Minister Martin’s campaign strategists discarded the Liberal brand to run under the Team Martin banner in the last election, they abandoned the political trademark of a party that has governed Canada for most of the last century. Jim Coutts, a lifelong Liberal activist who served Prime Ministers Pearson and Trudeau, writes that the Liberals’ fabled Red Machine has actually been in long-term decline and is overdue for a major overhaul. He identifies five major “policy markers” that must be renewed: reform, French-English partnership, Canadian identity, balanced economic management and an open-door immigration policy. “These markers,” he writes, “have been part of the Liberal fabric long enough, and pursued consistently enough, to have become part of the Liberal identity.” Along with intellectual renewal, he writes, the Liberal Party needs to be rebuilt at the grassroots, and Martin has the opportunity “to become the first Liberal leader since Mackenzie King to pay serious attention to constituency-level party recruitment.” En troquant l’étiquette libérale pour la bannière de « équipe Martin », les stratèges de campagne du premier ministre ont délaissé la marque d’un parti qui a gouverné le Canada pour l’essentiel du dernier siècle. Militant libéral de toujours et conseiller des premiers ministres Pearson et Trudeau, Jim Coutts juge que la légendaire « machine rouge » est en perte de vitesse depuis un bon moment déjà et qu’il est grand temps de la rénover en profondeur. Il faudrait ainsi renouveler cinq grandes doctrines libérales : réformisme, partenariat anglais-français, identité canadienne, gestion économique équilibrée et ouverture des politiques d’immigration.

  • Specialized Classes & Unique Settings Student Profiles & Placement Process
    specialized classes & unique settings Student Profiles & Placement Process September, 2016 0 Document Background and Rationale The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) believes that learning experiences must be as unique as every student and that in an inclusive educational system an array of programming is available to ensure that each student is taught in the way that they learn best. Personalization of learning for all students requires that we ensure the CBE has educational programs and settings that attend to each student’s unique needs, abilities, interests and learning goals. Personalizing learning for most students occurs within their community school where universal, targeted and specialized instructional strategies, resources, supports and services ensure student success. For some students the personalization of learning is best met in a specialized classes or unique setting which allows for specific strategies, resources, technologies, and personnel to attend to the individual learning needs of these students. Most of the CBE’s specialized classes are situated within community school settings. The principal, as the instructional leader, is responsible for ensuring appropriate staffing; resource allocation, instructional strategies and supports are in place for all learners in their school, including students in specialized classes. The goal of this document is to provide school-based administrators and members of Area Learning Teams with placement process information including: student profile information, placement timelines and required documentation for students to be considered for placement into specialized classes and unique settings. The focus of this document is not on a student’s disabilities, but rather on the specialized classes and unique settings offered in the CBE and how learning is experienced by students in these classes.
