PUBLIC INPUT SESSION Public Input Session Reeve B. Guyon opened the Public Input Session.

Laurie Jackson, Valley View Estates, recently noticed an increase in heavy traffic on the Ring Road two weeks ago when the road ban sign went down. She stated that this road was not built for this type of traffic. She was going into town and was almost driven off the road by a tank truck. She has issue with the amount of traffic, kind of traffic, and no walking area. She is here to ask, in the name of health and safety, for Council to go back and revisit the plan in place from 15 years ago. If it cannot be rebuilt, then close the road for local traffic only. The intersection has been deemed illegal by Alberta Transportation, but buses are still using it. Please close the road off before there is an incident and you have to do something. Do what’s right. It doesn’t seem like anyone is doing anything right. See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil. When you do discuss this keep in mind health and safety. Think proactive rather than reactive. A lot of bandaids have been put on this road. Please be proactive and take the bull by the horns.

1 25 SuperNet & Broadband Internet

Brazeau County Council March 14, 2017

26 Who am I? • Assistant Deputy Minister in Service Alberta • With responsibility for: • SuperNet • Alberta First Responders Radio Communications System (AFRRCS)

2

27 Presentation Purpose

• To tell you the truth about SuperNet

• Discuss the current state of broadband internet in the province

• Propose ways we can improve services for Albertans

3

28 SuperNet: The History: 2001

. In 2001, government committed $193 million to build, and own, a network connecting public sector facilities in 402 rural communities. . This investment was made in 402 of 429 SuperNet communities, as few services or competition existed. . Bell also committed $102 million to . SuperNet: Fibre optic cables & complete an urban network wireless towers, formed into a connecting 27 of the 429 SuperNet network by electronics carrying communities. signals to public facilities; .

SuperNet Operator: delivers communities. services directly to the public sector, and sells wholesale services to rural ISPs to use in delivering internet to rural Albertans and businesses. 4

29 SuperNet: The History: 2005

. Although most of the rural network was initially owned by government, renegotiated contracts in 2005 transferred ownership of the majority of rural fibre and wireless infrastructure to Bell. . Government holds exclusive rights to the infrastructure until 2045 through fibre and wireless leases. . At the time, this recognized Bell’s The two major 2005 changes to additional investment of over $300 SuperNet agreements were: million to complete the construction . Bell provided a revenue shortfall of the rural network. guarantee through to the .

30 SuperNet: The Way Forward

. In November 2015 Service Alberta received Social Policy Committee, and subsequent government leadership support, to proceed with a pre-qualification process for SuperNet 2.0; . In July 2016, while the industry engagements were underway, Service Alberta received Cabinet There is a need to: approval to continue its dialogue with 1.

Identify what, if any, role the schools and hospitals remain government will take in connected, and rural ISPs can advancing the interests of continue to provide internet service Albertans by enabling rural to their customers. broadband funding as part of SuperNet 2.0.

6

31 SuperNet: Analysis . In its early years SuperNet acted as the scaffolding for the new and emerging broadband environment in Alberta. . While there has been significant broadband investment by the private sector since 2005, there are still areas of the province where SuperNet is the best or only option for ISPs. . SuperNet is only one piece of Alberta’s internet infrastructure. ISPs can purchase the wholesale services they need for internet delivery from SuperNet, Telus, Bell, Shaw, Rogers, and other telecommunications providers in the province. . However with telecommunications federally regulated, and in the absence of a national broadband plan, Albertans have turned to the government for solutions.

7

32 SuperNet 2.0: Priorities

Job 1 is to ensure SuperNet service continuity, improve quality and support future growth needs for our schools, hospitals, libraries, government offices, and municipalities province-wide.

At the same time we can use our buying power and other innovative mechanisms to support the continued improvement of rural internet delivery.

During these tough economic times it is also important to achieve these SuperNet priorities without the need for long-term increased funding.

8

33 Today in Alberta • Current internet service depends how rural you are • Rural community – fibre/wireless • Rural outside community – wireless • Rural remote - satellite • Some locations find it difficult to attract service providers • Some locations lack competition

• Geography and competition impact cost • Areas of the province are at or over infrastructure capacity • Many rural locations encounter speed limitations • Some less than 1.5 Mbps • Some at 1.5 Mbps • Relatively few at the federal recommended 5 Mbps for residential broadband internet

9

34 Speed Matters

500 Kbps – 1.5 Mbps . Seniors can call their family using Skype . Students can send their teacher a simple email . Parents can browse the internet to find a doctor

1.5 Mbps – 5 Mbps . College students can research complex websites with fancy graphics and streaming video . Farmers can watch their livestock with remote surveillance or manage online auctions . Rural accountants can send large documents to their clients

5 Mbps – 10 Mbps . Rural children can develop motor skills and keep in touch with their friends playing online games . Families can watch a movie online

10 Mbps – 100 Mbps . Students can interact with teachers using real-time video streaming . Families can watch movies online in high definition . Farmers & business can remotely monitor building alarms with high definition surveillance 10

35 Current State Continued… • For much of the province transport infrastructure isn’t an issue • SuperNet helped to address a gap back at the start of this century • Now multiple options are available in many locations (but not all), including

• We have 36 ISPs operating in Alberta • BUT an outstanding problem is the middle mile and especially the final mile/local loop 11

36 So What Do We Need?

12

37 What Do We Need?

• Solutions for the final mile/local loop • Technologies now and future • Determine what role you will play • Where will funding come from • Encourage ISPs to provide services • Depending on model, may encourage competition • Address transport bottlenecks • Upgrade equipment • Fibre to the tower • The ability to access transport infrastructure outside points of presence e.g. hand holes • In summary; we need continued investment across the province; private and public sector

38 Enhancing Rural Broadband

Fibre may not be the answer

Washington Post article from October 26, 2016 regarding Google Fiber https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the- switch/wp/2016/10/26/why-google-fiber-is- no-longer-rolling-out-to-new- cities/?hpid=hp_hp-more-top- stories_switch-google- 1040pm:homepage/story Google Fiber boxes rest on a sofa in the home of Becki Sherwood in Kansas City, Kan., in 2012. Sherwood's neighborhood was the first to receive Google Fiber. (Julie Denesha/Bloomberg News)

14

39 Enhancing Rural Broadband

“Even as Google Fiber pays lots of money to lay down cables and secure access to TV programming, a different type of technology is coming down the pike: wireless fiber. In some respects, you can think of wireless fiber as similar to the 4G LTE you get on your cellphone. But in other ways, it's a totally different ballgame.

Verizon's version claims to be 50 to 100 times faster than LTE.

AT&T is working on something called AirGig, which envisions a network of wireless hotspots mounted on utility poles that constantly beam out high-speed wireless signals.

There are signs that Google is moving in this direction, too. In June, it acquired Webpass, a provider of wireless broadband.

And in its announcement Tuesday, Google Fiber said it would be looking at new technology and deployment methods to make superfast Internet more abundant than it is today.”

15

40 Improving Services Federal • ISED Connect to Innovate program • Launched December 15, 2016 • $500 million rural broadband internet program to be spent by 2021 • Priority is middle mile (1 Gbps link to within 2km of an underserved community) • Portion of the fund will be made available to last-mile and resiliency initiatives • Funding is open to both public and private sector • Submission intake: January 16, 2017 to noon EST on April 20, 2017 • https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science- economic-development/programs/computer-internet- access/connect-to-innovate.html

16

41 Improving Services Federal • December 21, 2016 CRTC ruling • Internet is now considered a basic telecommunications service for all Canadians • Very ambitious target speeds; 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload – interim steps will likely be required • Unlimited data options for fixed wireless broadband • Additional $750 million of funding will be available; appears that any broadband service provider with $10 million in annual Canadian telecommunications revenues will be required to contribute • Indications are that funding requests will need to include contributions from private sector and other levels of government • CRTC will meet in “early” 2017 to finalize the funding mechanism/procedures • CRTC didn’t set a price for basic service and isn’t regulating the ISP community 17 42 Improving Services • There are discussions currently underway regarding work that needs to be performed to enhance the broadband file • I think we need a provincial broadband strategy • Funding will be required at all levels • Many municipalities are considering the role they should play in broadband internet: • Technology owner • Partner – funding, tower infrastructure, anchor user • There are multiple options and opportunities • Not advocating one model; there is a need for tools that help municipalities decide what is right for them • I think REDAs will play an important role

18

43 My Advice • If you haven’t already, start thinking about your role: • If you chose to “build it so they will come”, make sure you build the right things in the right places; you can’t always rely on one consultant’s perspective • If you partner with an ISP be clear about roles. If the ISP is paying for the infrastructure at least make sure you have contract clauses that enable competition and give your municipality an option to buy the infrastructure, at an agreed price, should the ISP chose to leave your jurisdiction • Where possible look at broadband internet at a regional level; this may reduce some costs and also encourages ISPs • Think very carefully before entering into any long-term agreement with an ISP before the future of SuperNet is known; if in doubt contact my SuperNet Secretariat • Consider applying for Connect to Innovate federal funding • Don’t dismiss partnering with TELUS for CRTC funding 19

44 Improving Services

ISPs • SuperNet 2.0 will:  Take steps to level the playing field for ISPs  Look for ways to encourage the growth of ISPs • The province is also exploring ways to assist with the creation and support for new ISPs in areas that are currently underserved

Thank you for the clarity Kara

In light of your comments below I will place your request before council on March 14, 2017 for their consideration and direction via resolution.

In having shared the aforementioned should Winston and his team be in a position to have enough information as well as be far enough along the land negotiation process I will encourage him to be prepared for a detailed discussion. If this is the case we would ask council to go in private to discuss land issues

Also, have we started expropriation in Whitby Hall or beginning to? Those are the kind of thoughts and questions I have. I'm afraid if we wait till May we won't have the option on moving onto roads that don't have issues going forward.

188 189 190 The 2017 Ag Services Board conference was a well planned conference containing current

farming issues to be managed with a glimpse of agriculture in the future.

The first speaker, Adam Kreek offered a perspective on leadership and illustrated his life

experiences of it. One as an Olympic Gold Medalist in rowing and the other as a voyager who along with

three others attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a canoe.

Our next speaker, Krista Zuzak spoke on canola disease and pea crop ailment Aphanomyces. The

pea crop problem is usually more prevalent in a damp year. This disease can be spread by equipment

and so the same cleaning of equipment should be employed as with Clubroot.

Kevin Kossowan presented on the importance of selling/marketing your product. He suggested

that our consumer is not just in your back yard. He showed the importance of identifying your specific

product and marketing it globally i.e. the small dairy farms in Switzerland may not be the most

profitable but they aide in Switzerland's tourism (dairy cattle on the Alps) and Switzerland appears to

support their existence for their tourism industry.

The second day opened with panelists who illustrated that growing and selling locally works and

merits seeking out unique partnerships.

A farmer, Wayne Schneider, with wheat to sell, met a future customer in Geof Stewart who

wanted to set up a craft distillery. He uses wheat to produce Vodka at Big Rig Distillery and he sells the

mash by-product to Carlton Gruger, a mushroom grower who intern sells his mushrooms to Sylvia

Cheverie , a Beaumont restaurant owner. Sylvia also gets her meat locally from a Barrhead producer.

This is a very exciting example of networking and local value added to our products.

Timothy Caufield spoke of the misinformation that is out there and our need to do something

about it. In sarcasm he suggested that there is a study out there that says "Studies" are bad. He shared a

few ideas on how to combat this issue.

1: Use independent science

2: Be creative in communicating the facts

3: Be assertive in countering misinformation with independent science based facts.

I guess you can conclude; even if we produce sheep, don't be one! Be a leader.

191 John Knapp, a retired Deputy Minister of Agriculture, gave his perspective on the current state of Agriculture and where he feels it is heading. He feels that by 2050

1: We will be seeding in central Alberta by April 1st•

2: Temperatures will be 3% warmer.

3: About 1/2 of our beef will be grass fed and 'A will be finished in the feedlots.

4: Boidigesters at feedlots will produce electricity for greenhouses.

5: Alberta will be a major exporter of fruits and vegetables.

6: Agriculture land value will increase tremendously, 400-500%

7: We will see

-small market farms

-intense large farms

-30% of farmers will be landowners

-70% will have a quarter section and rent their land base

John predicted that farmers will be the dominating sector of population in policy setting.

The next two speakers offered behavioral outlooks. First Micheal Kerr using humor suggested how there is a time for play and a time for work in the workplace. He felt the play occasions spurred more productive work hours. Kevin Van Tighem then spoke on interaction of farmers and society with wildlife. He showed how work between ranchers and wolves allowed for peaceful cohabitation. By changing the rancher's pattern of caring for his cattle, he was able to outline a safe territory for his herd and still allow the wolves to exist. No hunting extremes were needed. Kevin felt the benefit of wildlife is for society and so the losses from and the costs of preserving wildlife should be borne by society. curpro red The results of day 1 Resolutions were

1: The highway roadside spraying.

2: Ensuring competition for seed and crop protection products.

192 3: Incorporating Agriculture in the class room.

Emergent Resolution #1-

Carbon levy exemption on natural gas and propane for agriculture production.

Day 2 concluded with the finishing of our Resolutions.

Brazeau County's Emergent Resolution on Agriculture Disaster Policy was defeated. The majority vote did not seem to support additional help for our farmers who experienced extreme weather conditions this year.

There was a third Emergent Resolution-Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis and

Brucelosis prevalent in Bison within and surrounding Wood Buffalo National Park. It was passed.

Our last day Doug MaCaulay, the ASB manager reported on some ASB programs and particularly on the Wild Boar program. Dr. Keith Lehman, the new Chief Provincial Veterinarian spoke on the recent

Bovine Tuberculosis outbreak in southern Alberta. The conference concluded with Phyllis Kobasiuk summarizing the events of the conference.

It was a well planned and worthwhile conference.
