LAUNDRY ITEMS Yellowhead County Governance and Priorities Committee Meeting Agenda February 16, 2021 Page 3 of 70 Edson & District Homelessness Project SHELTERPOD PILOT CHALLENGE The Town of Edson and Yellowhead County has a significant population of individuals who are experiencing homelessness. This number averages, at minimum, anywhere from 50 - 80 people throughout the year. Over that past 5 ½ years with the Housing Plus+ Program, it seems that these individuals are about 70% Town of Edson residents and 30% are County residents. Many of these people sleep outside in the elements; through rainstorms, thunderstorms, snowstorms and the frigid temperatures of our winters. They hunker down in a variety of available spaces they can find in hopes to survive through to the next day. This becomes particularly evident during the winter months. The Edson Friendship Center, Housing Plus+ program has seen an increase in their client base since the start of the pandemic. On a daily basis, the Edson Recycling Depot has individuals accessing bins for sleeping. Local schools have people sleeping in their outdoor recycle sheds, which they have requested be removed. Tents have been pitched and then removed on an ongoing basis on town property. There have been a variety of houses and properties within and outside town limits where multiple people have been removed for squatting or overcrowding. This population is hard to house, as many are affected by mental illness and/or suffer from substance abuse disorder, affecting their daily lives. These people need an emergency room or space where they can get out of inclement weather during the night and feel safe and secure. COVID-19 has hit this vulnerable population hard with government funding disappearing and shelters or halfway houses closing such as the McCollough Centre, in Gunn. It is expected that our homeless population will continue to grow as this pandemic and economic climate continues. The Edson area currently does not have a shelter or space to house this vulnerable population. Rural communities are in a unique situation where there is limited funding but a significant need for housing, especially emergency housing. Historically rural communities have attempted MAT programs to address the issue of homelessness during the cold weather months. However due to the high reliance on volunteer base and lack of funding, it would seem that these programs are not sustainable long term. Proposal We would like to propose a PILOT project that we have currently dubbed Shelterpod. This is a space where persons can access a safe private room when they are unable to find another solution. The Edson Recycling Board has approved for one of their buildings to be partially converted into five separate small rooms. These rooms will be large enough to house one person and will provide a safe, secure and warm location for them to sleep without the threat of personal violence, theft of belongings or freezing to death. Five rooms will be built in the “plastics” building located at the Edson Recycling Depot. Persons will access these rooms from first avenue. The rooms will be built in accordance with the Alberta Building Code and Alberta Health Services. Page 1 of 3 Page 4 of 70 Each room will be approximately 40 square feet (8x5) which meets the MMHS of 32 sq feet for sleeping quarters. These rooms will open directly to the outdoors and have keypad lock that can be changed after each use. They will have heat, ventilation and a light that the client can turn on and off. Each room will have a smoke detector. Each pod will have a sleeping mat that can be easily cleaned and sanitized. The construction of these pods will also allow for easy cleaning after the person vacates in the morning. The Recycle depot is already outfitted with both cameras and alarms, so that the premises are regularly monitored. The leasing of these rooms will be done daily and managed by the Shelterpod committee. Clients will call a posted phone number or press the intercom to access an on-call worker to receive a code to open the door of one of the rooms. There will be an individual on call 7 days a week to manage the use of the rooms. This is meant for emergency housing only and will not be for long term housing. There will be a universal code programmed in for access to the pods. RCMP will be able to access an available room should they find an individual in need of emergency shelter. Access to the rooms will be from 6pm to 9am. At 9 am all tenants will be required to vacate the building so that cleaning and disinfecting of the rooms can take place. If tenants have not vacated the premises and assistance is required, the Registered Social Worker on the committee will be called to assist with their removal. If the client is violent or non-responsive the RCMP or emergency services will be called. A portable heated bathroom will be located onsite so that clients can access these facilities from 6pm to 9am. The pods will also address the COVID-19 requirements of maintaining 6 feet distance, while still being able to provide space for 5 individuals. We are proposing the location of the Recycle depot for several reasons. There are already individuals who are accessing bins for sleeping purposes. The pods will be built into an existing building. The location is away from residential housing and most businesses, so should minimize NIMBYs complaints. The camera and alarm systems are already in place. COST Initial One Time Cost Estimated costs to build to turn key: Heat, electricity, building materials, private entrance, extra cameras, ventilation, fire retardant, heated bathroom Total Costs $64,000 Page 2 of 3 Page 5 of 70 Operational Cost Cleaning, sanitization, phone, utilities about $1500/month Annual Operating Cost $18,000 ($10 per pod/night) FUNDING The Edson Friendship Centre is a non-profit agency and able to provide tax receipts. The RSW will be handling the donations. We are actively seeking donations at this time. To date in the community, we have raised $57,700. The Town of Edson has approved our project and we have received our development permit. The Town has committed to a $64,000.00 grant to the project from their COVID-19 Recovery Reserve. We would like to ask the Yellowhead County Council if they would consider some financial support of the project as well. BENEFITS This project will hopefully provide sustainable long term, low cost emergency shelter for our vulnerable population. This idea utilizes minimal volunteers and provides clients with a private space where they can feel safe. Should this pilot prove to be successful, we want to operate this facility year-round. Should the project not be successful, the pods can be removed and returned to the original use. COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS The daily running and responsibility of the facility will lie with The Edson Recycle Depot and the Housing Plus+ program. In developing the proposal, we have collaborated with the Town of Edson, Alberta Health Services, RCMP and Reflections. These partners are committed to supporting the project. TIMELINE We had anticipated having the pods ready for January 2021. However due to the fact that this is a pilot in the province, we experienced delays in receiving the building permit. Construction is well underway and we are anticipating being operational by mid/end of this month.

  • Brazeau Subwatershed
    5.2 BRAZEAU SUBWATERSHED The Brazeau Subwatershed encompasses a biologically diverse area within parts of the Rocky Mountain and Foothills natural regions. The Subwatershed covers 689,198 hectares of land and includes 18,460 hectares of lakes, rivers, reservoirs and icefields. The Brazeau is in the municipal boundaries of Clearwater, Yellowhead and Brazeau Counties. The 5,000 hectare Brazeau Canyon Wildland Provincial Park, along with the 1,030 hectare Marshybank Ecological reserve, established in 1987, lie in the Brazeau Subwatershed. About 16.4% of the Brazeau Subwatershed lies within Banff and Jasper National Parks. The Subwatershed is sparsely populated, but includes the First Nation O’Chiese 203 and Sunchild 202 reserves. Recreation activities include trail riding, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many of the indicators described below are referenced from the “Brazeau Hydrological Overview” map locat- ed in the adjacent map pocket, or as a separate Adobe Acrobat file on the CD-ROM. 5.2.1 Land Use Changes in land use patterns reflect major trends in development. Land use changes and subsequent changes in land use practices may impact both the quantity and quality of water in the Subwatershed and in the North Saskatchewan Watershed. Five metrics are used to indicate changes in land use and land use practices: riparian health, linear development, land use, livestock density, and wetland inventory. 5.2.1.1 Riparian Health 55 The health of the riparian area around water bodies and along rivers and streams is an indicator of the overall health of a watershed and can reflect changes in land use and management practices.

  • HDP 2006 05 Report 1
    Report #1 1998 CWS Air Surveys In response to a general lack of knowledge on the abundance and distribution of the Harlequin Duck within Alberta, the Canadian Wildlife Service in cooperation with Alberta Environment undertook helicopter surveys of the eastern slopes of Alberta in 1998 and 1999. In 1998 the survey area encompassed streams along the eastern slopes of Alberta between the communities of Grande Cache and Nordegg. Ground truthing was provided by foot surveys on the McLeod River conducted by Bighorn Wildlife Technologies Ltd. Local area biologists helped with selection of blocks of streams to be surveyed where harlequins were most likely to occur and assisted in the helicopter surveys. Helicopter survey methods are detailed in Gregoire et al. (1999). Global Positioning Coordinates (GPS) were recorded for all sightings as well as survey start and end points. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system was used for recording sightings of Harlequin Duck and other wildlife. Survey start and end points were recorded in Latitude and Longitude. Five digit numbers hand written in the field survey reports represent the BSOD (now WHIMIS) ID number for that observation.

  • 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.
