Many of the projects listed in this business case were approved in during Action Plan 2015 – 2018 deliberations as part of Legacy Phase 3 Program (LPC 2014-0823). However, due to the current economic conditions in Calgary, the funding to be allocated towards the ENMAX Legacy Phase 3 projects has been suspended. Calgary Parks developed mitigation strategies to address funding shortfalls of Tier 1 projects that were underway. However, funding shortfalls still exist for Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects. This program supports the systematic, holistic development and redevelopment of regional parks in Calgary which includes all phases including public engagement, detailed design, tendering and ultimately construction. Once approved, the proposed funding request will support the completion of Phase 1 of Haskayne Park and contribute to the redevelopment of Century Gardens. The remaining six projects will remain unfunded until funding becomes available.

  • Alberta's Culture-Historical Model and the Southern Alberta Flood
    After the flood: Investigations of impacts to archaeological resources from the 2013 flood in southern Alberta ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALBERTA OCCASIONAL PAPER NO. 37 Alberta’s culture-historical model and the Southern Alberta Flood Investigation Program Trevor R. Pecka* a Archaeological Survey of Alberta, Alberta Culture and Tourism, 8820-112th St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2P8 *contact: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Southern Alberta Flood Investigation Program resulted in the recovery of substantial amounts of archaeological material. Excavations were conducted at highly threatened sites. The artifact assemblages recovered from these ex- cavations both support our current understanding of Alberta’s past and challenge some long-held ideas. The new in- formation supports recently conceived ideas of the Calderwood Complex, Bracken Phase, and Avonlea-Old Women’s Transition. As well, long-held notions of the Old Women’s Phase are supported. Still, the study provides substantial evidence that the protohistoric Old Women’s Phase/Blackfoot is more complex than originally believed, with a possi- ble intrusion by the Highwood Phase/Shoshone. Furthermore, there is evidence during the protohistoric Old Women’s Phase/Blackfoot for a more rapid change than previously considered from traditional to European goods.

  • The City of Calgary Biodiversity Report | 2014
    THE CITY OF CALGARY BIODIVERSITY REPORT | 2014 CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY GLOBALLY, THROUGH LOCAL GOVERNMENT The aim of the Local Action for Biodiversity (LAB) Programme is to assist local authorities in implementing the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). These are: 1) The conservation of biological diversity; 2) The sustainable use of the components of biological diversity; 3) The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. LAB is a global partnership between ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and IUCN (the International Union for Conservation of Nature). ICLEI is an international association of local governments and national and regional local government organisations that have made a commitment to sustainable development. ICLEI is the largest international association of local governments as determined by budget, personnel or scale of operations with well over 1,000 cities, towns, counties, and their associations worldwide comprise a growing membership. IUCN is the world's oldest and largest global environmental network – a democratic membership union with more than 1,000 government and NGO member organizations, and almost 11,000 volunteer scientists in more than 160 countries. LAB assists and interacts with local authorities in a variety of ways. Technical support is provided in the form of ongoing communication as well as guidelines and review of relevant documentation, presentations etc. and through access to IUCN’s extensive network of scientists. As participants in LAB, local authorities are provided various networking opportunities to share their challenges and successes. Profiling is also achieved at various international forums where the efforts of participating local authorities are exhibited and reported on.
