  • Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections
    Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections By: Robert Wayne Priebe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation University of Alberta © Robert Wayne Priebe, 2019 Abstract Edmonton, Alberta, has a unique approach to public spaces that sees conjoined creation and development sharing of public spaces for the collective benefit of the community and stakeholders; this approach began 100 years ago. Green or open spaces, natural areas, the river valley, City of Edmonton and community recreation facilities, and public education facilities share common sites in a system of public spaces, hereafter called a “park system.” Rather than narrowly focus on government entities and technical processes this dissertation posits that parks decision-making occurs more broadly through dialogue and perspectives of social actors engaging with one another and how they impact each other’s perspectives, positions and decisions over time. This dissertation identifies and examines the interplay and relationships between the land use planning processes and community engaged park development, programming and maintenance activities and processes in Edmonton, using Strategic Relational Institutionalist and Historical Institutionalist perspectives. Categories of social actors involved in both institutions include elected officials, senior and frontline administrators, community nongovernmental organizations, school boards, community residents, developers, landowners, and consultants. Each of these actors has different levels of power and agency within administrative processes and within institutions themselves. This dissertation is an exploration of how land use and parks decision-making occurred over time.

  • Mayor Don Iveson's Swearing-In Speech
    Speaking Notes Mayor Don Iveson’s Swearing­in October 29, 2013 130 pm, City Hall, Edmonton Check against delivery Justice Manderscheid, Grand Chief Kappo, Councillors, City of Edmonton staff, invited guests, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, fellow Edmontonians. Tributes I wish to begin by acknowledging that the City of Edmonton is on Treaty 6 territory, and that the city and all the people here are beneficiaries of this peace and friendship treaty. I also extend to the indigenous nations of the Cree, Nakota Sioux, Blackfoot, Tsuu T’ina [sue­tina], and Métis who have made Edmonton, and this region, their home before the coming of the forts — my respect and desire to build stronger relationships in the spirit and intent of Treaty 6. And to all indigenous people who make Edmonton their home today, I respect the spirit of WICIHITOWIN [we­chee­too­in], which means “helping each other,” that permeates this ancient gathering place, and which is the true spirit of Edmonton. And human beings continue to gather here, more and more of us, from all around the world. Now, as Edmonton strives to become more globally competitive, the stakes have never been higher. A week ago, our fellow citizens bestowed upon us their collective will and desire for Alberta’s capital city to continue to build on the strong foundation laid by the previous City Council. Today, as we swear in a new Council, we also honour our predecessors. They set a vigorous pace for those of us who will lead the city for the next four years.
