Rebecca Fast, Office Administrator, Irrigation Secretariat. - 670 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, MAY 31, 2012 Culture Decisions on Geographical Names (Historical Resources Act) Notice is hereby given that pursuant to Section 18, Subsection 3 of the Historical Resources Act the following decisions on geographical names were duly authorized on February 14, 2005. APPROVED NTS Map Sheet 83 A/11 – “Chain Lakes” Berdine Lake (lake) Located at: Sec. 7, Twp. 42, Rge. 24, W4 and Sec.12, 13, 24, Twp. 42, Rge. 25-W4 (52° 36′ 43″ N & 113° 27′ 54″ W) Approximately 9 km south-east of Ponoka, the northern-most of the Chain Lakes. This name commemorates the Berdine family, long-time residents of this region. In 1913, J. M. "Mack" Berdine arrived in Alberta from Oregon. After looking at a number of locations he purchased land south-east of Ponoka at NE12-42-25-W4; the presence of the Chain Lakes being a deciding factor in his selection. Mack Berdine returned to Oregon to settle his affairs. He returned in July 1914, bringing with him a boxcar of livestock, wagons and household goods. His family arrived shortly after. The Berdines farmed and raised sheep, being one of the first in the region to specialize in sheep. Mack Berdine was also known as an avid hunter, using his hounds to track coyotes. The family was very active socially and one of Mack Berdine’s sons being in demand as a square dance caller. Descendants of Berdine family continued to reside on the family land as of 2003. The name Berdine Lake has been in use locally since at least the 1950s and possibly since the 1910s. The lake is also known locally as "Earl's Lake" in reference to Earl Berdine, a son of the original settler.

SouthGrow attended a meeting with the Minister alongside a number of our members to discuss projects that are important to the region or of particular concern. Mason listen as representatives from the MD of Taber and Lethbridge County talked about the challenges they are facing with bridge repair and replacement, as well as water infrastructure. Cardston was present and was able to confer with the Minister about their hopes for the Caraway border crossing. The Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and the Highway 3 Twinning Association discussed the economic importance of our trade corridors to the economic well-being of the province. Finally, SouthGrow presented on the time-sensitive need for a decision from the Province regarding funding for the Southern Alberta Electric Vehicle Network. The Southern Alberta Regional Electric Vehicle Network is a partnership between the Alberta Southwest Regional Alliance, the SouthGrow Regional Initiative, the City of Calgary, the City of Medicine Hat, and the City of Lethbridge. This project plans to deploy 19 or 20 Phase 3 fast charging stations across Southern Alberta in order to make electric vehicle travel in the south fully viable. Right now the initiative has almost half the money we need in order to break ground, and we can have assets in the ground by November of this year if we are able to secure matching funds from the Province.

Our municipality was neither informed nor considered while this decision has been progressing. Multiple municipalities from Nonhern Alberta met with Minister Hoffman (Apri|18) to voice our concerns and were assured that we would be advised/consulted/informedbefore any decision was made. It was very disheartening to hear from Gordon Bates (Executive Director — Air Ambulance Services) at AHS, that a decision to award the contract to a single proponent was imminent. This bad decision will be very devastating for the residents of Northern Alberta for the following reasons: - Key components of the RFP process have been completely ignored. For example, one of the criteria identified within the RFP was the condition that hangar space he provided at the air base. The successful proponent does not have hangar space as there is no available space to be had. This calls the entire RFP process into question. Ifthere is no hangar space available, response time will increase as the service will have to come from some other community. Since Peace River had the most Air Ambulance flights last year (1400+), it seems counter-intuitive to bring the planes from outside the community.

  • Allan A.Warrak
    1 ALLAN A. WARRAK Allan Alexander Warrack was born on May 24, 1937 in Calgary, Alberta and was raised in Langdon, southeast of the city. He attended Olds Agricultural College before going on to the University of Alberta where he received a B Sc degree in agricultural sciences in 1961. He then attended Iowa State University where he obtained MS and PhD degrees in 1963 and 1967, respectively. He began teaching at the University of Alberta and, in 1971, ran for provincial office in the riding of Three Hills. He defeated the Social Credit incumbent by eight votes and was part of the victory that brought the Progressive Conservative party to power ending 36 years of Social Credit rule. The new Premier, Peter Lougheed, appointed him to the Executive Council of Alberta and Minister of Lands and Forests. Warrack ran for a second term in office, in 1975, and readily defeated three other candidates, and was appointed Minister of Utilities and Telephones. Warrack retired from provincial politics at dissolution of the Legislative Assembly in 1979. He returned to the University of Alberta where he initially taught agricultural economics and later business economics in the Faculty of Business. He moved up the academic ranks and became a tenured professor as well as serving for five years as University of Alberta Vice-President Administration and Finance. Warrack also served as Associate Dean of the Master of Public Management Program. He is the recipient of a number of awards including the Province of Alberta Centennial Medal (2005) and the University of Alberta Alumni Honour Award (2009).

  • CTF Report on Expense Claims Filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice As Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
    CTF Report on Expense Claims filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice as Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development August 29, 2014 Derek Fildebrandt Alberta Director Canadian Taxpayers Federation Summary of Findings The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has conducted a review of the Honourable Jim Prentice’s expense claims as the federal minister of Indian Affairs (now Aboriginal Affairs) and Northern Development and found at least one major irregularity worth bringing to attention. The CTF was informed by the department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AAND) that Mr. Prentice’s expense claims as the minister of that department – requested in an Access to Information (ATI) request – were destroyed. The CTF filed subsequent ATI requests to ascertain if this was true or not and was soon informed by AAND that in fact, the records were not destroyed. The CTF questions the validity of the reasons given for the “destroyed” records and the completeness of the records eventually released. Mr. Prentice also chartered a private aircraft from the Calgary International Airport with three of his staffers, where it flew to the Calgary Springbank Airport to pick him up. The chartered aircraft then flew to Fort MacLeod, a small town a short driving distance away from Calgary. The aircraft flew at between 27 per cent and 50 per cent capacity and cost an average of $742.73 for each passenger to travel the short distance. This appears to be in clear contravention of travel rules set out by the Parliament of Canada. Background After the resignation Alison Redford from the premiership, Albertans were concerned about the abuse of expenses and entitlements of politicians.

  • Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017
    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.
