    Minister Brian Mason Visits Lethbridge

    Share this Newsletter with your Community Post Tweet Forward Headline Article: Minister Brian Mason visits Lethbridge On Monday, May 28th, Minister of Transportation, Brian Mason, came through town on a listening tour to talk all things Transportation. SouthGrow attended a meeting with the Minister alongside a number of our members to discuss projects that are important to the region or of particular concern. Mason listen as representatives from the MD of Taber and Lethbridge County talked about the challenges they are facing with bridge repair and replacement, as well as water infrastructure. Cardston was present and was able to confer with the Minister about their hopes for the Caraway border crossing. The Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and the Highway 3 Twinning Association discussed the economic importance of our trade corridors to the economic well-being of the province. Finally, SouthGrow presented on the time-sensitive need for a decision from the Province regarding funding for the Southern Alberta Electric Vehicle Network. The Southern Alberta Regional Electric Vehicle Network is a partnership between the Alberta Southwest Regional Alliance, the SouthGrow Regional Initiative, the City of Calgary, the City of Medicine Hat, and the City of Lethbridge. This project plans to deploy 19 or 20 Phase 3 fast charging stations across Southern Alberta in order to make electric vehicle travel in the south fully viable. Right now the initiative has almost half the money we need in order to break ground, and we can have assets in the ground by November of this year if we are able to secure matching funds from the Province.

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.

    Allan A.Warrak

    1 ALLAN A. WARRAK Allan Alexander Warrack was born on May 24, 1937 in Calgary, Alberta and was raised in Langdon, southeast of the city. He attended Olds Agricultural College before going on to the University of Alberta where he received a B Sc degree in agricultural sciences in 1961. He then attended Iowa State University where he obtained MS and PhD degrees in 1963 and 1967, respectively. He began teaching at the University of Alberta and, in 1971, ran for provincial office in the riding of Three Hills. He defeated the Social Credit incumbent by eight votes and was part of the victory that brought the Progressive Conservative party to power ending 36 years of Social Credit rule. The new Premier, Peter Lougheed, appointed him to the Executive Council of Alberta and Minister of Lands and Forests. Warrack ran for a second term in office, in 1975, and readily defeated three other candidates, and was appointed Minister of Utilities and Telephones. Warrack retired from provincial politics at dissolution of the Legislative Assembly in 1979. He returned to the University of Alberta where he initially taught agricultural economics and later business economics in the Faculty of Business. He moved up the academic ranks and became a tenured professor as well as serving for five years as University of Alberta Vice-President Administration and Finance. Warrack also served as Associate Dean of the Master of Public Management Program. He is the recipient of a number of awards including the Province of Alberta Centennial Medal (2005) and the University of Alberta Alumni Honour Award (2009).

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.

    AB Today – Daily Report January 9, 2019 Quotation of the day “I personally will be devoting more time to advocating for Alberta on the national stage through as many means as I possibly can.” Former Wildrose leader Brian Jean teases plans for his political future during a Facebook Live ​ ​ pregnancy announcement with his wife Kim. Today in AB On the schedule The government has not committed to holding a spring legislative session or to tabling a budget before next year’s election, which must be held between March 1 and May 31, 2019. Should no changes to the parliamentary calendar be made, the House will resume on February 12. Province to release photo radar report this month A long-awaited report on the future of photo radar in the province will be released by the end of this month, according to Transportation Minister Brian Mason’s office. ​ ​ In a statement to AB Today, a spokesperson for the minister confirmed the results of the review ​ ​ — which launched more than two-and-a-half years ago — will be released alongside an announcement about the province’s plans for the file. Minister Mason announced the photo radar study in 2017 to ensure the devices are improving ​ ​ road safety and not just serving as a revenue tool for municipalities. Mason originally claimed the review would be completed by fall of that year, but the province ​ waited until March 2018 to hire a consultant. On Tuesday the minister’s office said the report’s release was delayed while the government continued “to consider how best to operationalize the results of our study.” Also Tuesday, Freedom Conservative Party Derek Fildebrandt held a press conference calling ​ ​ ​ for an immediate end to the use of non-red light cameras and releasing his party’s own policy ​ report on the devices.
