Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan
Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan SUNDANCE PROVINCIAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN September, 2006 Preface The Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan provides a long-term vision and day-to-day guidance for stewardship of the park. Department staff, within the context of existing legislation and regulations, prepared the plan. It outlines the type and extent of outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities, facilities and services. The plan provides direction regarding the delivery of heritage appreciation programs that assist Albertans and visitors to understand and appreciate our natural heritage while ensuring its ongoing preservation. The management plan was developed with public input and is intended to provide for the periodic review and revision to reflect the current thinking of Albertans on how our natural heritage will be preserved for present and future generations. The Minister responsible for parks and protected areas has authorized the implementation of the management plan and retains authority to amend or interpret its provisions. VISION STATEMENT FOR THE PARK “Sundance Provincial Park will be managed through clear direction to maintain the health, biodiversity and uniqueness of this ecosystem. Rare and significant natural features will be preserved while providing opportunities for compatible backcountry recreational and educational opportunities.” Sundance Provincial Park Management Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION......................................................................................................................... -

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.
