Legacy Parks Phase 3 - Tier 2
CPS2017-0311 ATTACHMENT 7 Legacy Parks Phase 3 - Tier 2 OVERVIEW Recommended Capital Legacy Parks Phase 3 – Tier 2 Projects (Haskayne Regional Park Development, Century Gardens Project Description Park Redevelopment) Executive summary Council created the ENMAX Legacy Parks Program in 2003, and since that time it has been instrumental in the acquisition and development of new regional parks and the redevelopment of existing regional parks across Calgary. Many of the projects listed in this business case were approved in during Action Plan 2015 – 2018 deliberations as part of Legacy Phase 3 Program (LPC 2014-0823). However, due to the current economic conditions in Calgary, the funding to be allocated towards the ENMAX Legacy Phase 3 projects has been suspended. Calgary Parks developed mitigation strategies to address funding shortfalls of Tier 1 projects that were underway. However, funding shortfalls still exist for Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects. This program supports the systematic, holistic development and redevelopment of regional parks in Calgary which includes all phases including public engagement, detailed design, tendering and ultimately construction. Once approved, the proposed funding request will support the completion of Phase 1 of Haskayne Park and contribute to the redevelopment of Century Gardens. The remaining six projects will remain unfunded until funding becomes available. Expected Key # Project Name Expected Key Results/Benefits Deliverables 1 Haskayne Park To be fully funded through this request directed towards required Park amenities park amenities). • Enhanced connection between Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park and the City proper • Phase 1 of a new regional park • Fulfilment of private financial contribution 2 Century Gardens After funding Haskayne Park development, remaining balance to be Park redevelopment allocated to Century Gardens for park redevelopment activities.

Archaeology and Calgary Parks Territorial Acknowledgement
UNCOVERING HUMAN HISTORY: Archaeology and Calgary Parks Territorial acknowledgement We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that Indigenous people were the first stewards of this landscape - using it for sustenance, shelter, medicine and ceremony. Calgary’s landscape falls within the traditional territories of the people of Treaty 7. This includes: the Blackfoot Confederacy, comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations; the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. Calgary is also homeland to the historic Northwest Métis and to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We also acknowledge all Indigenous urban Calgarians who have made Calgary their home and Calgary’s parks their parks.

Alberta's Culture-Historical Model and the Southern Alberta Flood
After the flood: Investigations of impacts to archaeological resources from the 2013 flood in southern Alberta ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALBERTA OCCASIONAL PAPER NO. 37 Alberta’s culture-historical model and the Southern Alberta Flood Investigation Program Trevor R. Pecka* a Archaeological Survey of Alberta, Alberta Culture and Tourism, 8820-112th St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2P8 *contact: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Southern Alberta Flood Investigation Program resulted in the recovery of substantial amounts of archaeological material. Excavations were conducted at highly threatened sites. The artifact assemblages recovered from these ex- cavations both support our current understanding of Alberta’s past and challenge some long-held ideas. The new in- formation supports recently conceived ideas of the Calderwood Complex, Bracken Phase, and Avonlea-Old Women’s Transition. As well, long-held notions of the Old Women’s Phase are supported. Still, the study provides substantial evidence that the protohistoric Old Women’s Phase/Blackfoot is more complex than originally believed, with a possi- ble intrusion by the Highwood Phase/Shoshone. Furthermore, there is evidence during the protohistoric Old Women’s Phase/Blackfoot for a more rapid change than previously considered from traditional to European goods. KEYWORDS Flood Investigation Program, Protohistoric, Highwood Phase, Shoshone, Calderwood Complex, Bracken Phase, Old Women’s Phase, Blackfoot 1.
