One of the terms of the agreement with the Towns is for them to provide an annual accounting of where the funds were allocated/expended. The County did not dictate what or where the funds could be used, only that the County be made aware of how the funds were utilized. Presented to Council was correspondence from each town advising of how the allocation of funds were utilized. In the case of Hinton, the funds ($1.9 million) were utilized to offset the mill rates. Edson split the funding ($5.1 million) between policing costs, a utilities project and to reserves for future capital initiatives.

    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.

    Land Use Bylaw

    Land Use Bylaw September 2013 BYLAW 16.13 How to Use the Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw The following is intended for information purposes only and does not form part of the Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw. The Yellowhead County Land Use Bylaw establishes regulations for the use of land and buildings in Yellowhead County. Regulations differ depending on the location and type of development contemplated. Land Use District Maps provide direction for development and use of land on specific parcels throughout the County. The Land Use Bylaw also includes general regulations which apply to some or all development. It is important when reviewing the Land Use Bylaw to consider both the general and specific regulations that may apply to your property. The Land Use Bylaw reflects County regulation only – other bylaws, regulations and Acts of the County, province and federal government must also be observed. Where possible, the Land Use Bylaw attempts to outline these other requirements. This is not to say, that the Land Use Bylaw contains an exhaustive list; instead, it is up to each individual to ensure that the laws of each level of government governing the use of land and development are observed. When using the Land Use Bylaw, it is suggested that the user follow these steps: 1. Locate the subject property on the Land Use District Maps. Note the district title that applies to the property. 2. Cross check with the Table of Contents in the Land Use Bylaw to determine the location of the specific Land Use District. The Land Use Districts are included in PART FOURTEEN.

    Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron

    Field Guide to Selected Geological Sections of the Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron Edmonton Geological Society Field Trip Guide September 22-23, 2007 Introduction The Rocky Mountains can be divided into Foothills, Front Ranges, and Main Ranges as shown in the cartoon below (Fig. 1). Outcrops in the foothills are dominated by softer weathering Mesozoic rocks of the foreland basin: mainly sandstone and shale but also including conglomerates and coal. Most of the clastic rocks represent material eroded from earlier-formed parts of the orogen to the west, which was subsequently cannibalized as the thrustbelt advanced westward in late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic time. Locally in the foothills, the more resistant late Paleozoic carbonate rocks come to the surface in elongated ridges. Saturday's traverse will begin in the foothills of the Cadomin area and proceed southwest into the Front Ranges. In the Front Ranges carbonates dominate the landscape. These represent the late Paleozoic continental margin of the Laurentian continent, now sliced into multiple imbricated thrust sheets. Mesozoic clastics are confined to narrow valleys. On Sunday morning we will take the Yellowhead Highway further into the Front Ranges and eventually into the Main Ranges of the Rockies. In the Main Ranges, lower parts of the stratigraphy are preserved, including widespread outcrops of older, Early Paleozoic carbonates, clastics, and the underlying Proterozoic succession of the Windermere Supergroup. The structural style is different, too. Although thrust sheets are present, they are generally much larger in scale, and their dips are gentler. In addition, the rocks were more ductile when deformed, so that cleavage and folds are much more widely developed in the mudrocks.

  • Graveyards of Industry – Exploring the Effects of a Resource-Reliant

    Graveyards of Industry – Exploring the Effects of a Resource-Reliant

    Graveyards of Industry – Exploring the effects of a resource-reliant economy on the towns of early Alberta Aaron Kyle Lang – [email protected] Website: http://www.ghosttownsofcanada.com/ Summary This research focuses on Western Alberta’s ghost towns, and how resource focused economies have led to the formation, the prosperity, and eventually the demise of these now desolate localities. This project investigates the local geology, socio-economic climate, and broader historical events that have shaped these areas, and how it has impacted modern life and industrial activity. The areas explored were mostly coal-based economies, which include the Alberta Coal Branch, Banff National Park, Crowsnest Pass, Kananaskis, and Southern Alberta. The findings from this research highlight that rapid changes in technology and relying on a single industry to maintain economic activity will result in the creation of a ghost town. The extent the localities have changed in recent years has dramatically varied based on its value to locals, industry, and the government. Introduction Alberta has always been reliant on its abundant natural resources, such as coal and oil. However, in a fast- changing world with the prominence of modern issues such as climate change and renewable energies, we must look to history to examine what has happened in the past to understand the future. To do this, there must be a careful study of the epitaphs of Alberta's rich industrial history to find the warning signs of the adverse effects of a region relying on one industry. We must understand the ghost towns of Alberta. A ghost town in the Alberta context is a locality that experienced a period of rapid growth due to the economic advantages of a single-resource based or agrarian economy, which provided access to amenities required for a healthy municipality, such as hotels, restaurants, general stores, and hospitals.

    School News April 2018 LOBSTICK ZONE Evansview School, Evansburg March has been a busy month at Evansview School. We were working on the school value of respect this month, and we managed to grow a LOT of it in our hallways! The students are starting to realize that their participation matters, and that the more they participate, the better their chance of winning the monthly draw for a book order coupon. We all learned how to be respectful to our school, teachers, parents,other students - and even ourselves, and a few were rewarded with the opportunity to get more books to enhance our literacy: a win-win situation all around! Next month, in conjunction with Earth Day, we will be focusing on global citizenship and responsibility. We celebrated ‘Substitute Teacher Appreciation Week’ with homemade cards, and gifts went home with each one of them to remind them how much we depend on their help, and that they truly are appreciated by all of us here. Mrs. McKinnon’s kinder- garten class is enjoying the upward swing on the thermometer lately, and the children are enjoying their time spent outdoors. The Forest School Program has been very well received this year, and the students enjoy the opportunities that they have to spend time outside for a great portion of the day, learning through experiencing, and discovering things in nature and the environment. They set up outside - snowsuits, hats and mitts and all - carrying their supplies, having their snacks, and getting time to question, to explore, and to play outside. With the weather changing, the kindergartners are learning that different weather requires different gear.
