Air Ambulance Letter
F’.O.Box 34 BERWYN,AB MUNICIPALDISTRICT T0” 050 _ of _ Phone: (7ao) 333-3845 M06 No. 135 F3” (730) 3359222 Email: [email protected] _ May 9, 2017 Premier Rachel Notley Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta TSK 2B6 RE: Provincial Air Ambulance Service We have just recently been informed of the impending awarding of the Provincial Air Ambulance Contract to a single proponent and are in complete shock with regard to the entire process. Our municipality was neither informed nor considered while this decision has been progressing. Multiple municipalities from Nonhern Alberta met with Minister Hoffman (Apri|18) to voice our concerns and were assured that we would be advised/consulted/informedbefore any decision was made. It was very disheartening to hear from Gordon Bates (Executive Director — Air Ambulance Services) at AHS, that a decision to award the contract to a single proponent was imminent. This bad decision will be very devastating for the residents of Northern Alberta for the following reasons: - Key components of the RFP process have been completely ignored. For example, one of the criteria identified within the RFP was the condition that hangar space he provided at the air base. The successful proponent does not have hangar space as there is no available space to be had. This calls the entire RFP process into question. Ifthere is no hangar space available, response time will increase as the service will have to come from some other community. Since Peace River had the most Air Ambulance flights last year (1400+), it seems counter-intuitive to bring the planes from outside the community. -

March 17, 2020 Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta [email protected] Honorable Jason Nixon, Minister of Alberta Environme
ALBERTA WILDERNESS ASSOCIATION "Defending Wild Alberta through Awareness and Action” March 17, 2020 Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta [email protected] Honorable Jason Nixon, Minister of Alberta Environment and Parks [email protected] Re: Proposed Sale of Public Land-Golden Sunrise (SE 31-9-13-W4) in Taber, Alberta Dear Premier Kenney and Minister Nixon, For a number of weeks, AWA has been working with AEP Department staff to understand the rationale behind the decision made to sell the quarter section of public land, SE 31-9-13-W4, located near Taber. We are concerned with the decision making process involved and who and how the assessment was made that described this land as “very little multiple use value to the support Department programs e.g. grazing or wildlife habitat” (email correspondence to AWA from R. Simieritsch, 2020). To the best of our ability we found this land consists of native prairie (classified as a Category 4 under the Native Prairie Vegetation Inventory), a threatened ecosystem in Alberta. The land also has a relatively large wetland or ephemeral water body. Native grasslands contribute significantly to carbon sequestration and drought resiliency, and in general, provide habitat for almost 75% of Alberta’s species at risk. There has been no public consultation, and a complete lack of transparency surrounding this sale. As such, AWA believes that the offer to sell this land should be withdrawn. It seems department officials may have failed to appropriately monitor, and protect the ecological integrity of this parcel from infringing agricultural activities. During the course of our research, AWA found that the southwest corner of this section was irrigated, and we have not received confirmation about whether there was permission given to irrigate this land. -
