It outlines the project, the purpose of the public engagement, the activities we did, and a summary of what we heard at the events. A full list of comments received through public engagement is included in this report. This report does not outline what has happened as a result of the public engagement. That summary will be published at a later date, once all engagement has been completed and project plans have been finalized. Project overview In 2007, based on extensive citizen input, City Council adopted the Centre City Plan, a vision document that describes what the Centre City could look like in 30 years. The Centre City Plan is a coordinated strategy document that pulls together the vision for the Centre City along with strategies and actions relating to land use planning, economic, cultural, and social development, and governance. With the approval of the adoption of the Centre City Plan (CPC2007-049), it included a recommendation for regular monitoring and reporting. In January 2017 the Centre City Plan was identified as one of 28 Council policies to be amended. It’s time to review and refresh the original Centre City Plan. Calgary’s Centre City is the area south of the Bow River (including Prince’s Island Park) from 17th Avenue Southwest and 14th Street Southwest, to the Elbow River.

Fire Cadet Handbook Fire Chief’s Message The cadet program provides exceptional growth opportunities to young people who are fortunate enough to be chosen to participate in it. This program is about taking life skills, and combining them with Fire Department, values, training and culture to develop strong, competent leaders of tomorrow. I’ve seen the transformation of individuals who have come through this program in the past and it has been amazing. Although the Fire Cadet Program is designed to promote good citizenship rather than train prospective firefighters, many cadets have gone on to become members of the Calgary Fire Department. Others have become police officers, paramedics, emergency services dispatchers, or firefighters in other communities. The majority, however, become leaders who fulfill many important roles in their communities. Good citizenship is the foundation of firefighting. When you wear the cadet uniform, you are taking on part of the image of the Calgary Fire Department. You and the Department will be judged by how you behave. Wear your uniform wisely, but more importantly, wear your uniform proudly. We are happy that you chose to affiliate yourself with the Calgary Fire Department through this great program. We know that you will find it an enriching experience as you become leaders and role models in the community. The cadet program is about having fun and learning, first-hand about the Calgary Fire Department. It’s also about teaching and perpetuating our values – Pride, Professionalism, Teamwork and Respect.
