  • Researching the Edmonton Story by Catherine C. Cole a Report
    Researching the Edmonton Story By Catherine C. Cole A report commissioned by the Edmonton Heritage Council February 2014 Researching the Edmonton Story Executive Summary The objectives of this study were: • To provide the Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) with a framework of the Story of Edmonton from 1939 to the present and • To increase knowledge of Edmonton’s history, heritage and shared culture. This report is intended to be used to inform efforts by the Council to enhance the interpretation of Edmonton’s history with a focus on identifying the important stories to tell, that are not currently being told, and how to ensure they are incorporated into our understanding of the city. An underlying premise for this study is that it is important for all Edmontonians to have access to and understand our history and heritage and the shared cultural heritage of people who have adopted Edmonton as their home. Whether people grow up in Edmonton and learn about local history in school or have moved here as adults and adopted Edmonton as their home, there’s relatively little information available about local history, particularly recent history. Historical narratives are valuable in shaping the community and foster local identity but these narratives must be inclusive of both the positive and negative aspects our our history and be a history that resonates with immigrants, migrants and Edmonton’s relatively large urban Aboriginal population, not just with the dominant society. Although Alberta’s population has been predominantly urban since the middle of the last century – and Edmonton’s population has grown exponentially since the end of the war, historians studying Alberta history have continued to focus on the rural rather than the urban, on pre-WWII rather than more contemporary history.

  • Regulatory Forbearance and the Status of District Energy Systems Under the Public Utilities Act
    August 12, 2019 Regulatory Forbearance and the Status of District Energy Systems Under the Public Utilities Act By: Nigel Bankes Decision Commented On: AUC Decision 24056_D01-2019, ENMAX Independent Energy Solutions Inc., ENMAX District Energy Edmonton Exemption Application, August 1, 2019 In this decision, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) had to decide whether a proposed network that would provide a service (in this case steam) to customers and that fell within the definition of a public utility should be granted an exemption under the provisions of the Public Utilities Act, RSA 2000, c P-45, (PUA). The AUC concluded that an exemption should not be issued. The PUA defines a public utility as follows: (i) “public utility” means (i), (ii) repealed 2007 c42 s5, (iii) repealed RSA 2000 cR-4 s61 (2002 c30 s27), (iv) a system, works, plant, equipment or service for the production, transmission, delivery or furnishing of water, heat, light or power supplied by means other than electricity, either directly or indirectly to or for the public, (v) an oil pipeline the proprietor of which is declared by the Alberta Energy Regulator to be a common carrier, and (vi) an electric utility; Clause (iv) is the important part of the definition for present purposes. All parties acknowledged (see ENMAX at para 33) that a district energy (DE) system would fall within this clause. While the definition of ‘public utility’ is an essential condition to trigger the application of the PUA, equally if not more important given the essential attribute of agency to trigger responsibility are those provisions of the PUA that apply to an ‘owner of a public utility’.
