  • Recycling Issues Explored
    September 10, 2007 Recycling Issues Explored Edmonton... Having received over 100 written submissions on the Beverage Container Recycling Regulation, the Legislative Assembly’s all-party Standing Committee on Resources and Environment has scheduled public hearings in both Edmonton and Calgary. “Recycling is an issue that affects all Albertans,” said Denis Ducharme, MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake and Chair of the Standing Committee on Resources and Environment. “People have a lot to say about the issues, and we want to hear about it.” The public hearing in Edmonton is scheduled to take place at the Legislature Annex (4th Floor, 9718 - 107 Street) on September 18 beginning at 9:30 a.m. In Calgary the hearing is scheduled to take place at the Carriage House Inn (9030 MacLeod Trail South) on September 20 beginning at 1 p.m. People are asked to contact the Committee Clerk before the end of the day on September 12 if they wish to make a presentation. The length of the hearings will be determined by the number of scheduled presentations. The Standing Committee on Resources and Environment is one of four all-party committees established by the Assembly this spring. Among other responsibilities this 11-Member committee is holding public hearings into issues surrounding the Beverage Container Recycling Regulation. These issues include Beverage Container Collection System Is the number of existing bottle depots in Alberta sufficient? Should additional collection options be considered? Exemption of Milk Containers Should milk containers be included in the deposit refund system? Deposit Levels Should the existing deposit levels be raised?

  • Taber, Alberta I. D
    Structural Outline SSHRC MCRI Project Community Characterization Project Researcher: Merle Massie Community: Taber, Alberta I. Description Taber's advantageous location also means it is only a short drive to many scenic amenities - the Rocky Mountains are located to the west, the Cypress Hills to the south- east, and Montana and Glacier International Park to the south. Taber is located only 60 miles (98 Km) north of the United States Border and is situated 32 miles (50 Km) east of Lethbridge, 169 miles (272 Km) south-east of Calgary and 244 miles (392 Km) south- east of Banff National Park. The Town lies approximately 2 miles south of the Oldman River which flows into the South Saskatchewan River and, eventually, north into the Hudson Bay. The Town of Taber is a clean, friendly town of 7,671 people. First established in 1899 by homesteaders, the Taber area had its beginnings with coal mining. Coal was mined in Taber and shipped to Medicine Hat, first on the Oldman River steamers and, later by narrow gauge railway. Mining declined dramatically in the late 1920's, however, the extensive development of irrigation in Southern Alberta led to a major recovery in the early 1930's. The production of sugar beets re-established the town as an agricultural service centre. Roger's Sugar Ltd. (formerly, the Alberta Sugar Company) operates the only sugar factory in Alberta and it is the largest employer in Taber. The sugar factory is a landmark which can be seen clearly from Highways #3 and #36. Known as the "Market Garden of Alberta", Taber is the centre of the most varied crop production in the province and perhaps anywhere else in Canada.
