Knight, Vice Chair Sian Anderson, Recording Secretary FANTASYLAND HOTEL SAVE NOVEMBER 8–10TH 2017 THE DATE! INTRODUCTION The FCSSAA, along with the planning committee from Yellowhead Region, is excited to highlight some of the dynamic and interesting speakers and activities that will take place during this year’s Power of Inclusive Communities Conference. Building on the theme of diversity and inclusion, the group has developed a program that will stimulate discussion and provide effective strategies that can be used by your community to make it welcoming to all. Dave Meslin OPENING KEYNOTE SPEAKER Building a Culture of Engagement Apathy is all around us. People have become disengaged not only from politics, but also from our schools, neighbourhoods, workplaces and associations. Dave Meslin encourages us to recognize apathy as a web of barriers that reinforce disengagement – and that we can work together to dismantle the obstacles. By inverting the traditional pyramid of hierarchy we can create meaningful opportunities to engage. We’re stronger and smarter when we’re all involved. Mary Gordon CLOSING KEYNOTE SPEAKER Examining Wellbeing in Childhood and Building Inclusive Societies through the Cultivation of Empathy Mary Gordon is recognized internationally as an award-winning social entrepreneur, educator, author, child advocate and parenting expert who has created programs informed by the power of empathy. In 1996 she created the Roots of Empathy program. The organization, Roots of Empathy, offers programs in every Province of Canada and in The USA, Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Wales, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland and Costa Rica. She is the recipient of several awards recognizing her contribution to innovation in education and international social entrepreneurship, including the Manning Innovation Award for the top social entrepreneur in Canada. Rapid Fire Theater ENTERTAINMENT Rapid Fire Theatre is Edmonton’s premiere improv comedy company.

  • 2008 Wmus 505 and 507 Moose
    2008 WMUs 505 and 507 moose Section Authors: Hugh Wollis and Curtis Stambaugh Suggested citation: Wollis, H. and C. Stambaugh. 2009. WMUs 505 and 507 moose. Pages 87‐91. In: N. Webb and R. Anderson. Delegated aerial ungulate survey program, 2007‐2008 survey season. Data Report, D‐2009‐008, produced by the Alberta Conservation Association, Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada. 97 pp. Wildlife Management Unit 507 is a very popular hunting area for local residents and urban dwellers from nearby Edmonton. Previous surveys were conducted in 1995, 1999 and 2004. In 2006, a significant change in moose management occurred with the elimination of the General Moose Archery season. This change caused concerns from local archery hunters who met with the Minister, citing among other things poor and out‐of‐date data for aerial surveys. The Minister supported the season change but agreed to give 507 a high priority for aerial surveys in 2008. Wildlife Management Unit 505, which is adjacent to WMU 507, had been flown in conjunction with 507 in 2004 and was also surveyed in 2008 in order to coordinate aircraft charters and reduce overall survey costs. Study area Wildlife Management Unit 507 extends roughly from Whitecourt to Barrhead, which is 100 km northwest of Edmonton (Figure 18). The WMU is bisected by the Athabasca River, an important feature for wildlife. The WMU is in the Boreal Mixedwood natural region and is a mixture of patented agricultural land east of the Athabasca where the land is primarily dominated by forage crops and pasture with some grain. West of the river the land is primarily Crown with some patented land that features mostly forage and pasture land near Ft.

  • Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock
    Alberta Provincial Electoral Divisions Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock Compiled from the 2011 Census of Canada and National Household Survey Introduction This report presents the statistical profile for the Provincial Electoral Division (PED) of Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock. This profile is based on the electoral boundaries as defined by the Alberta Electoral Divisions Act, Chapter E-4.2, 2010. A PED is a territorial unit represented by an elected Member to serve in the Alberta Provincial Legislative Assembly. Data in this report have been specially tabulated from Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Canada and the 2011 National Household Survey, by allocation of Statistics Canada block face reference points to PEDs. These data include the following characteristics: age, sex, marital status, household types, language, Aboriginal identity, ethnic origin, place of birth, mobility, dwelling characteristics, education, labour force activity and income. The global non-response rate (GNR) for the PED of Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock is 36.0%. The GNR combines both complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The GNR is an indicator of data quality, where a smaller GNR suggests more accuracy. When the GNR is 50% or above, the data are suppressed. The GNR is identified for each region. A higher GNR indicates the need for user caution. Users are advised to refer to the endnotes of this PED profile for further information regarding data quality and definitions. A map for this PED can be found at the end of
