  • Vegetation Management in Banff National Park: a Survey of Local Residents
    Vegetation Management in Banff National Park: A Survey of Local Residents Bonita L. McFarlane David O.T. W atson And Tara %. McGee2 Natural Resources Canada Canadian Forest Service 5320 , 22 Street Edmonton AB T./ 3S5 2Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences 22. Earth Sciences Bldg. 3niversity of Alberta Edmonton AB T.G 2G8 Prepared for Banff National Park of Canada August 2008 Introduction Vegetation management activities are undertaken in Banff National Park to restore ecological integrity, when serious negative effects will occur to neighbouring lands outside the park, when facilities, public health or safety are threatened, or when other park management ob8ectives cannot be achieved. Both forest thinning and prescribed fire are used to manage vegetation. To be successful, vegetation management must have a broad base of public support. In particular it re:uires understanding and collaboration among local citizens and other 8urisdictions such as municipalities and provincial natural resource management agencies. This re:uires both the acceptance of Parks Canada vegetation management activities within the park and the participation of near2by communities and residents in wildfire mitigation measures (e.g., FireSmart= activities). National Park and nearby residents' perceptions of the risk from prescribed fire and wildfire, their acceptance of vegetation management strategies within national parks, and their preferences for residential wildfire mitigation measures were first studied in collaboration with the 3niversity of Alberta during 200. using personal interviews. That study was used to identify salient aspects of wildfire and vegetation management among a small sample of key residents in the area. This second component of the study examines the prevalence of these views among the broader resident population.

  • March 2017 MONTHLY STATISTICS PACKAGE CREB® Region Report Mar
    March 2017 MONTHLY STATISTICS PACKAGE CREB® Region Report Mar. 17 REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS April 3, 2017 First quarter sales totalled 294 units in Airdrie, which is ten per cent above the same period last year and comparable to the long- term average. Much of the gain was due to a rise in the number of attached sales. Persistently lower new listings in Airdrie also helped prevent further inventory gains in the resale market. However, competition from the new home market continues to weigh on resale pricing, particularly in the attached market. The unadjusted benchmark price for detached homes averaged $381,433 in the first quarter of 2017, similar to the previous quarter, but 2.6 per cent below the same time last year. There were 114 residential sales in Okotoks through the first quarter of 2017. Improved demand in March led sales to a twelve per cent increase year-over-year in first three months of the year. Stronger sales, combined with steady reductions in inventory, have prevented steeper price adjustments. The unadjusted benchmark price for a detached home totalled $431,333 during the first quarter of 2017, which is 0.20 per cent below levels from the previous quarter and 2.9 per cent below the first quarter of last year. First quarter sales in Cochrane were the second highest on record and remain well above long term trends. Increased SHARE OF SALES March 2017 activity in the attached sector has been a key driver for this market. The attached segment now 1% Calgary 2% accounts for a 31 per cent share 5% of total residential sales activity Airdrie 5% compared to only 25 per cent in 2% 2014.
