Page 2 of 15 Northern Alberta Mayors’ & Reeves’ Caucus – October 16, 2015 Adoption of Agenda That the October 16, 2015, Northern Alberta Mayors’ and Reeves’ Caucus meeting agenda be adopted with the following addition: Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties Update. Moved by: Mayor S. Lindop Second: Councillor T.Caterina CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Adoption of Minutes – June 12, 2015 That the June 12, 2015 Northern Alberta Mayors’ and Reeves’ Caucus meeting minutes be adopted as presented. Moved by: Mayor B. Elliott Second: Councillor T. Caterina CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Business Arising Out of Minutes There was no business arising out of the minutes. Mayor G. Krischke introduced Danielle Larivee, Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta (“MLA”) for Lesser Slave Lake. MLA D. Larivee was appointed to co-chair a review of Alberta’s Mental Health Policies, and is here to share information on the Policy review. Government of Alberta’s Mental Health Review MLA D. Larivee thanked participants for their interest in the Mental Health Review (“Review”). As part of the Review, stakeholder engagement sessions were held all over the province. The Review heard from individuals in all walks of life including, but not limited to, non-profit, front line workers, people who live with mental illness, families of those living with mental illness and first responders. The stakeholders helped the government clearly understand that the Province of Alberta has not prioritized mental health enough and there is a need to place more value on it. The Review was conducted by MLA D. Larivee, Dr. David Swann and Tyler White, Health Director for the Siksika First Nation. As part of the Review there were 6 stakeholder sessions across the province that covered topics such as: • Senior mental health • Child abuse mental health • Diverse and vulnerable populations • Urban Aboriginal population Page 3 of 15 Northern Alberta Mayors’ & Reeves’ Caucus – October 16, 2015 • Rural and Northern mental health • Needs of Treaties 6, 7 & 8 As well the Review held one-on-one sessions with a variety of other stakeholder groups and an on-line questionnaire is also available, which will be open until October 23, 2015. There have been 2,000 responses to the on-line questionnaire to date, with 3,000 responses expected by closing. All of the information will be compiled and a team of experts from around the province will analyze the results and look at evidence-based practices from around the world. There are some very clear big-picture responses, with the biggest one being that Ministries need to speak to each other about mental health and housing, which is a huge issue for the mental health population. MLA D. Larivee answered participant’s questions. 1. Concern was expressed that the Mayors and Reeves were unaware of the Review or the stakeholder engagement sessions. MLA D. Larivee was asked what the criteria was for choosing stakeholder groups, as many in the audience had not heard about the Review. MLA D. Larivee advised that the team ensured they had a good geographic spread and as much representation as possible. 2. The Mayors and Reeves asked if the government can extend the time for online portion of the Review beyond October 23, 2015, to ensure better participation. Although not able to extend the time, the link was provided and all those in attendance were encouraged to complete the online survey. The survey could be printed off and mailed back and they will be accepted after the closing date. The timelines for the report are very tight and the report must be submitted to the Premier by December 23, 2015. 3. Has the Review looked at PTSD’s and the number of suicides among the military and emergency personnel? Yes, the first responders have had a very strong voice in the Review. 4. Have the RCMP and court system been involved? Absolutely. There has been representations from the Ministry to the frontline of the policing services and the justice system. 5. Are you looking at the transportation of patients from Northern Communities for treatment or assessment? Is it a proper use of resources to use an ambulance to transport patients for treatment? MLA D. Larivee advised that she was a nurse in Slave Lake for nine years and understands the northern perspective. The government will work to ensure proper access for rural communities to alleviate the problems relative to too few ambulances and not enough beds. Page 4 of 15 Northern Alberta Mayors’ & Reeves’ Caucus – October 16, 2015 Concern was expressed that the change has been requested for many years, yet Northern Communities have not seen results. 6. When asked if it would be better to extend timelines in order to get a better quality report, the response was that there have been a large number of studies done and this survey is a validation of information received, and issues that need to be attended to. In this survey, the Review panel has not really heard anything different. There is the understanding that there has to be ongoing review and feedback and that the Government must be responsive to the need. MLA D. Larivee advised that the Minister and the Premier expect that the recommendations of the review will be moved forward. The Premier has stated that mental health is a priority and changes need to be made. Participants urged the Government to use Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (“AUMA”), Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (“AAMDC”), Northern Alberta Mayors’ and Reeves’ Caucuses, etc. to get the word out on future initiatives. Mayor G. Krischke thanked MLA D. Larivee for her presentation. AUMA Update Mayor G. Krischke introduced Lisa Holmes, Mayor of Morinville and President of AUMA. Mayor L. Holmes stated she appreciated the opportunity to provide an update on the AUMA’s work. Mayor L. Holmes introduced two of the Vice-Presidents, Mayor Maryann Chichak, Town of Whitecourt and Tony Caterina, Councillor for the City of Edmonton. Both worked very hard in the last year to get so much accomplished with the MGA. AUMA has been focused, over the summer, with building relationships with new government and to raise awareness of the issues facing municipalities. In support of the meet and greets, two separate documents have been created: Municipalities 101 and AUMA 101 which are now available on the AUMA website. The AUMA submitted a document that profiled a number of compelling priorities for the October 27th budget that included the: • protection of Municipal SI funding • use of the Building Canada Fund for municipal projects and the need for provincial matching funds in order to keep pace with project requirements. This is a big focus for AUMA as there was not enough dollars for the number of projects. Page 5 of 15 Northern Alberta Mayors’ & Reeves’ Caucus – October 16, 2015 • need to restore water and waste water funding, while increasing supports for policing • importance of continuing the grant-in-lieu of taxes for social housing, and • need to freeze or reduce the education property tax.

  • Watershed Stewardship in Alberta: a Directory of Stewardship Groups, Support Agencies, and Resources
    WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA: A DIRECTORY OF STEWARDSHIP GROUPS, SUPPORT AGENCIES AND RESOURCES APRIL 2005 INTRODUCTION FOREWORD This directory of WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA has been designed to begin a process to meet the needs of individuals, stewardship groups, and support agencies (including all levels of government, non- governmental organizations, and industry). From recent workshops, surveys, and consultations, community- based stewards indicated a need to be better connected with other stewards doing similar work and with supporting agencies. They need better access to information, technical assistance, funding sources, and training in recruiting and keeping volunteers. Some groups said they felt isolated and did not have a clear sense that the work they were doing was important and appreciated by society. A number of steps have occurred recently that are beginning to address some of these concerns. The Alberta Stewardship Network, for example, has been established to better connect stewards to each other and to support agencies. Collaboration with other provincial and national networks (e.g. Canada’s Stewardship Communities Network) is occurring on an on-going basis. Internet-based information sites, such as the Stewardship Canada Portal (www.stewardshipcanada.ca), are being established to provide sources of information, linkages to key organizations, and newsletters featuring success stories and progress being made by grassroots stewards. These sites are being connected provincially and nationally to keep people informed with activities across Canada. The focus of this directory is on watershed stewardship groups working in Alberta. The term ‘watershed’ is inclusive of all stewardship activities occurring on the landscape, be they water, air, land, or biodiversity-based.

The survey was structured similar to the survey undertaken by the City of Calgary in 2000. The intent of the study is to provide planners with information to assess the transportation needs of both Alberta Transportation and the City of Edmonton. Roadside interviews were conducted between September and November 2001 at 24 sites on provincial highways entering the study area (Exhibit 1.2.1 Section 1.2) between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. In all just, over 6,500 truckers transporting commodities into and out of the Edmonton Region were interviewed entering and exiting the region on various provincial highways. The information gathered from the survey was scaled up to represent daily truck and commodity movement into and out of the study area. Findings of the study indicate: D Almost 16,000 trucks enter or exit the region on a typical weekday on a 24-hour basis; D Approximately 16,200 Commodity trips are made on a typical weekday on a 24- hour basis; D The highways that carry the majority of the trips into and out of the region include Highway 2 South (20%), Highway 16W (13%), Highway 43 (10%), Highway

Given that Covid- 19 remained a dominant force in Alberta, the 2020-21 fiscal year continued to be a challenging time for the AWC, as it was for many other sectors of Alberta society. However, staff, committee and board members adapted, even finding efficiencies in the ‘new way of doing business’, driven by the pandemic and its associated social and economic restrictions. Throughout the year, the Board of Directors continued to be well engaged, holding virtual board and committee meetings, and continuing to move the AWC forward. Despite working from home for the most part, staff played an integral role in supporting this work. We thank them for their extraordinary efforts in these trying times. A significant challenge was the retirement of our Executive Director, Janet Pomeroy. The Board and I express our heartfelt gratitude for Janet’s tireless commitment and work ethic demonstrated throughout her tenure with the AWC. We wish her the very best in her retirement.
