Did Social Media Help Naheed Nenshi Become Mayor of Calgary? Running Head: ALL A-TWITTER: CALGARY 2010 MAYORAL ELECTION i All a-Twitter: Did social media help Naheed Nenshi become mayor of Calgary? By Krista Stefan Submitted to the Faculty of Extension University of Alberta In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communications and Technology August 10, 2017 ALL A-TWITTER: CALGARY 2010 MAYORAL ELECTION ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Linda Trimble, for her encouragement, help, understanding, and support throughout this project and Dr. Lois Harder for her advice and support (both in the Department of Political Science in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta), and Kerri Calvert for giving me the push to get started in this program in the first place. I would also like to thank all of the instructors, supervisors, and staff in the MACT program for facilitating this incredible learning opportunity. Thanks also go out to my independent coders who helped with the data validation - Charlotte, Shannon, and Denise. Finally, a huge thanks goes to my family, friends, and colleagues, who have supported me throughout this process with kindness, understanding, and humour. ALL A-TWITTER: CALGARY 2010 MAYORAL ELECTION iii Abstract As the use of social media platforms such as Twitter increase, so has the user-generated information available online. As more and more people are taking debates into cyberspace, it seems to be difficult to determine how these tools influence opinions. Traditional media, on the other hand, appears to be losing influence. This has certainly been seen in the area of political election campaigns where traditional media, including opinion polls, are becoming less and less a reliable way of gauging public opinion and social media is being examined as a means of determining the political climate. This project looks at the results of the Calgary 2010 mayoral election in which Naheed Nenshi staged a surprise win, the way in which the newspapers reported on this election, and the way in which the mayoral candidates used Twitter. By examining these I anticipated gaining a better understanding of how the political communication landscape is changing. This study found that traditional factors that are normally used to predict election results, including news reporting, campaign funding and candidate name recognition, were not reliable predictors of the outcome. Twitter data provided a more reliable cue. The winning candidate, Nenshi, was the only one of the mayoral contenders who extensively used Twitter as a tool for conversation rather than as a substitute for other communication media such as pamphlets or static web sites.

    2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners Students explore the East Village model at the East Village Experience Centre In partnership with: “I feel more connected to my city and more in the know. I definitely get the process a lot more as well as how the people within the government work and their effect on local citizens.” ~ Grade 5 student Students find hidden murals in Chinatown Exploring the city This year at City Hall School, students have explored downtown from St. Patrick’s Island on the east side to the Beltline murals on the west side. They have investigated community while looking at “Bridge” by Katie Green. Students visualized in the +15 Soundscape at Arts Commons. They have observed old buildings on Stephen Avenue, building construction of Platform Calgary, and how people used the upgraded underpasses. Each class came to City Hall School with a big idea that could be questions or thoughtful quotes. Two years ago, Journalling in the new Central Library there was a focus on public art and last year, classes were interested in sustainability and the natural world. This year, the main themes were being an active and responsible citizen as well as how to think in an innovative way. This year ended with an unexpected change. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed in the middle of March. This led to many classes missing their chance to come to City Hall School. Fortunately, these classes are able to come during the 2020-2021 school year. How does City Hall School work? City Hall School is a five-day field study that is jointly run by The City of Calgary’s Calgary Neighbourhoods business unit and Campus Calgary/Open Minds.

  • A Tapestry of Peoples
    HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL TEACHING RESOURCE FOR THE PROMISE OF CANADA, BY CHARLOTTE GRAY Author’s Note Greetings, educators! While I was in my twenties I spent a year teaching in a high school in England; it was the hardest job I’ve ever done. So first, I want to thank you for doing one of the most important and challenging jobs in our society. And I particularly want to thank you for introducing your students to Canadian history, as they embark on their own futures, because it will help them understand how our past is what makes this country unique. When I sat down to write The Promise of Canada, I knew I wanted to engage my readers in the personalities and dramas of the past 150 years. Most of us find it much easier to learn about ideas and values through the stories of the individuals that promoted them. Most of us enjoy history more if we are given the tools to understand what it was like back then—back when women didn’t have the vote, or back when Indigenous children were dragged off to residential schools, or back when Quebecers felt so excluded that some of them wanted their own independent country. I wanted my readers to feel the texture of history—the sounds, sights and smells of our predecessors’ lives. If your students have looked at my book, I hope they will begin to understand how the past is not dead: it has shaped the Canada we live in today. I hope they will be excited to meet vivid personalities who, in their own day, contributed to a country that has never stopped evolving.

  • Heritage Park Annual Report 2018 Message from the President & Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Park and the Chair of the Heritage Park Society
    HERITAGE PARK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF HERITAGE PARK AND THE CHAIR OF THE HERITAGE PARK SOCIETY PHOTO: Leah Hennel – Calgary Herald was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” This quote from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities befits 2018 at Heritage Park. We accomplished “It great things, but faced many challenges. The worst of times? The ever-escalating cost of operations due to the minimum wage increase. Continued road construction outside our gates that created a barrier to entry for our guests. And the worst of the worst — flood mitigation work on the Glenmore Reservoir undertaken by the City resulted in the Moyie being dry-docked for the entire summer for the first time since it set sail in 1965. The result was a 22% drop in summer attendance, and the first deficit in more than fifty years. Even with these challenges, the Park educated and entertained its guests and provided meaningful employment and volunteer opportunities to hundreds of Calgarians. We will continue efforts to control costs without sacrificing quality content as we adapt to new operating realities. We held a joint board-management strategy session to explore ideas to attract and retain guests in the years ahead. We focused on ever-changing market expectations, education programming options, marketing opportunities, and the shifting demographics of our community. We are optimistic that continued adaptation and implementation will create winning results and foster relationships with guests who will become repeat visitors. The best of times? School program attendance grew. Our marketing excellence was rewarded with an Alto Award for Journey of a Lifetime.

  • The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics
    SPP Research Papers Volume 4•Issue 6• May 2011 IS THIS THE END OF THE TORY DYNASTY? The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics Anthony M. Sayers and David K. Stewart1 University of Calgary ABSTRACT The Alberta Tory dynasty begun by Peter Lougheed is now 40 years old. With only four leaders across four decades, the party has managed to maintain its hold on the political imagination of Albertans. It has weathered a number of storms, from minor party assaults during the tumultuous 1980s to the Liberal threat of 1993 and the stresses associated with the global financial crisis. Now it confronts a new challenge in the form of the Wildrose Alliance led by Danielle Smith. Just as the Tories stole the centre ground from beneath Social Credit in the 1970s, the Wildrose leadership team hopes to take what was a fringe right wing party and turn it into a broad coalition capable of appealing to a large number of Albertans. What challenges do they face in repositioning the party? And how will the Tories protect their home turf? In brief, the Wildrose Alliance must modify its policies and present them in such a manner as to be able to plausibly claim that it now reflects the core values of Albertans better than the current government. For its part, the government must select a new leader capable of successfully painting Wildrose as outsiders who cannot be trusted to cleave to the values that Albertans hold dear. What are these values? Strong support for individualism, a populist view of government – including wariness of the federal government – combined with a deep commitment to a role for government in providing core programs in areas such as health care, the environment, and social welfare.
