This Mobility Strategy sets the stage for a future update to Morinville’s transportation master plan by gathering public input, collecting necessary information on current conditions, and making high level recommendations for getting around Morinville for future studies to validate. While there is a focus on making streets and public open space safer, attractive and inviting to pedestrians, the Mobility Strategy recognizes the importance of balancing the needs of both pedestrians and vehicles in various contexts. Concurrently with this project Morinville updated it’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP), and that process was done in conjunction with this Mobility Strategy. Some graphics, images and text statements are shared between the two initiatives. The two processes also had coordinated public engagement to maximize the efficiency of surveys and the public open houses. While the two projects are not directly applicable, a significant requirement for the current MDP update was to recognize the importance of making streets and public open space in Morinville safer, attractive and inviting for pedestrians. Beyond the MDP, there are several related studies, both statutory and non-statutory, that were considered as influencing information to this plan. The Mobility Strategy identifies the gaps in each of those related studies regarding mobility so that each one, when updated, can better recognize the importance of moving people and goods through Morinville. The Mobility Strategy was guided by a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), comprising internal and external staff who met approximately monthly. The TAC contained an array of expertise related to mobility planning, implementation and governance, with knowledge sets from planning, engineering, landscape architecture, community engagement, public safety and bylaw, Council, etc. At the onset of this study, the TAC conceived “13 Big Ideas” that set the stage for some of the goals and objectives for the Mobility Strategy, and also future implementation planning. The goal is to have these big ideas achieved once all of the recommended actions of this plan are realized. Stakeholder engagements included live surveys, telephone surveys, on-line surveys, specific engagements with special interest groups, meetings and correspondence with local and regional stakeholders, and a public open house. Engagements confirmed the need for this study in that all groups highlighted challenges of various sorts regarding getting around their community. These engagements also highlighted the need for additional projects to be commissioned in the immediate, near and medium term, such as the importance of a trails master plan to identify missing gaps in community trails and ways of resolving current challenges in pedestrian movement in Morinville. This plan will be put into action as each of the recommended special studies and planning initiatives listed in Section 6.0 of this report are completed. VII “With a high proportion of residents under the age of 18 and very high population retention, Morinville should continue to grow at significant rates over future generations.” VIII 1.0 SETTING THE STAGE 1.1 Community Profile 1 1.2 Study Purpose: A Mobility Strategy 2 1.3 Key Concerns 4 1.4 Study Goals, Objectives and Expected Outcomes 4 1.5 Dream Big: Thirteen Big Ideas 5 1.6 Related Initiative: Municipal Development Plan Update 6 1.1 Community Profile Morinville is a beautiful western Canadian community celebrated by rich history, strong economy and surrounded by majestic agricultural landscapes. With a population of nearly 10,000 people (2016 Municipal Census), Morinville is located in the heart of Sturgeon County in central Alberta. Located just north of the cities of Edmonton and St. Albert, Morinville provides relatively close access to regional amenities such as the Edmonton International Airport, Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, and other amenities within the communities of the Capital Region. Other nearby communities include the towns of Legal, Bon Accord, Gibbons and Redwater. According to Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey, 26% of Morinville’s population is under the age of 18, with 80% of its population being residents that are third generation or more. With a high proportion of residents under the age of 18 and very high population retention, Morinville should continue to grow at significant rates over future generations. For a community of its size, Morinville has excellent amenities within the municipal limits. A mix of residential districts, commercial and industrial developments makes Morinville a great place to live, work, play and invest. Morinville has recently constructed obility Strategy a modern Community Cultural Centre, refurbished its Municipal Administration office, M and announced new school projects in some of the expansion areas of the community. Morinville is also in the process of developing a new multi-use recreational complex at the far-east side of Morinville, within Sturgeon County. Private developers continue to complete new area structure plans for growth areas of Morinville. Significant growth in Morinville is quite evident.

  • Lamont County
    Church Capital of North America LAMONT COUNTY The strange new world did not deter them To build a church they could ill afford Their way of life was not complete Without an edifice to the Lord. Welcome to LAMONT COUNTY’S SELF-GUIDED CHURCH TOURS Lamont County has 47 churches— more per capita than anywhere else in North America. Lamont County has a proud legacy as the birthplace of the oldest and largest agricultural settlement of Ukrainians in Canada. The nucleus of the pioneer Ukrainian colony was in the vicinity of Star, some seven miles (11.6 km) north- east of the modern-day town of Lamont. There, in 1894, four immigrant families filed for adjacent homesteads at what became the centre of a thriving bloc settlement that eventually encompassed the region that now comprises the Kalyna Country Ecomuseum. Not surprisingly, the historic Star district was also the site where organized Christian life first took root among the Ukrainians of Alberta, about the same time that the sod huts originally put up as temporary shelters by the pioneers began to be replaced by modest, thatched-roofed houses. As more and more newcomers from Europe made East Central Alberta their home, Lamont County experienced a remarkable church-building boom expressive of the deep Christian faith brought over from the Old World by the set- tlers. This rich spiritual heritage is still very much in evi- dence today, in the numerous churches that can be found in the towns and villages and on country roads in virtually every part of the municipality.

Charles Gutensohn P. 12 The Moravian Bell Letter from Mr. Bob Bell P. 64 FOREWARD Articles dealing with the history of the church frequently recognize and honour the service of people who have given their lives in longstanding meritorious service. In this issue we do that, with respect to Rev. Charles Gutensohn, but we also take a look at the accomplishments and activities of an outstanding organization: The Ladies' Aid of the Edmonton Moravian Church. In the annals of the history of the Moravian Church in western Canada, the conclusion of the 65 years of service by the Ladies' Aid, which took place in 2009, is worthy of commendation and recognition. The article covering their many years of faithful activity gives a glimpse of what held them together over those many years. The Rev Charles Gutensohn and his wife Edna came to Bruderheim, Alberta as a newly married couple in 1912. He was a recent seminary graduate, 27 years old. Neither of them could have imagined that their pastoral service would span the next 28 years, all of it in the Canadian District.
