The Alberta Growth Summit gave Albertans the opportunity to identify issues and concerns, propose solutions, and help set the future directions for the province. The outcome of the Summit included a 300-page final report with 243 recommendations to the government. This publication is the government's response to the Summit recommendations, with comments from the appropriate government department(s) presented after each recommendation. The recommendations and responses are arranged under eight major issues identified as priorities in the summit: people development, health and quality of life, a vision for the province, infrastructure, regulatory and tax issues, the role and function of government, partnerships, and a framework for policy development and management.

Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
“A visitor from down south stared at my apple tree and said: ‘Those don’t grow here you know. It’s too cold.’ If the apricot tree in Highlands knew it couldn’t live here, it might stop scattering white blossoms over three lawns.” – Bert Almon Edmonton has a rich and diverse horticultural history. Vacant lot gardeners, rose gardeners, and horticultural societies have all contributed to the beautification of the capital city of Alberta, and through the enthusiasm of florists, seedsmen, and plant breeders the city has developed a distinct horticultural character. In this collection of nine essays, each with a different theme, Kathryn Chase Merrett depicts the development of Edmonton’s social, cultural, and physical landscape as it has been shaped by champions of both nature and the garden. Edmontonians and all urbanites interested in gardening and local history, as well as professors and students of history, cultural studies, and urban design, will delight in the colourful storytelling of Why Grow Here.

Alberta Premiers of the Twentieth Century
Author: University of Regina. Canadian Plains Research CenterPublisher: University of Regina Press
ISBN: 9780889771512
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
From the optimism associated with provincial status in 1905, through the trials of Depression and war, the boom times of the post-war period, and the economic vagaries of the 1980s and the 1990s, the twentieth century was a time of growth and hardship, development and change, for Alberta and its people. And during the century, twelve men, from a variety of political parties and from very different backgrounds, led the government of this province. The names of some--like William Aberhart, Ernest Manning, and Peter Lougheed--are still household names, while others--like Arthur Sifton, Herbert Greenfield and Richard Reid--have been all but forgotten. Yet each in his unique way, for better or for worse, helped to mould and steer the destiny of the province he governed. These are their stories.
Boom and Bust Again
Author: David L. RyanPublisher: University of Alberta
ISBN: 0888646895
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
In many commodity-based economies, rollercoaster boom-and-bust cycles have come to be viewed almost as an unavoidable characteristic. Framed mainly in the context of the Alberta economy, the articles in this volume explore a wide range of issues associated with the historical phenomenon of recurring periods of boom and bust, including reasons for their apparent inevitability, dealing with revenue volatility, possible diversification strategies, savings policy, and challenges faced by policy makers. Re-examining and shedding new light on these struggles, Boom and Bust Again is an important contribution to the literature on policy issues for readers in the fields of economics, business, finance, and public policy.
