Background
Canmore Community Cruisers (CCC) is a registered not-for-profit, grassroots society founded October 10, 2007 in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.
We aim to nourish a strong cycling culture in the Canmore. CCC is
propelled by the efforts of several committed volunteers and our activities
have evolved over time.
CCC started out as a bike share program, inspired by the Natural Step to
a Sustainable Canmore and other international bike share programs,
celebrating universal access to bicycles as a sustainable of transportation.
The bike share evolved into a bicycle recycling and maintenance
workshop and CCC became known for three annual events ReCycle
Round up, ArtSpoke and Bike Shorts.
Page 4 of 121
B-1
ArtSpoke was a program to up-cycle bikes and bike parts into ride-able
works of art, bike picture frames, bike trailers, bike racks and bikepowered blenders. CCC maintain an ongoing, casual connection to the
creative community, providing access to recycled bike parts for art
projects.
We continue hosting our annual Recycle Round-up in early June, collecting
bikes donated from the community and after minor repairs selling them
back into the community at an accessible cost. In 2015, thirty-five bikes
were donated and twenty were sold back into the community. In 2016
thirty-one bikes were sold back into the community and 10 were donated
to other organizations.
Since 2009 we have celebrated cycling by hosting the annual Bike Shorts
Film Festival. In 2015, a capacity crowd of eighty-five attended this event
held at ArtsPlace. Bike Shorts is one of our primary fund raising events. We
also raise funds through government grants, workshop membership dues,
and the sale of recycled bikes.
The community HUB – bicycle maintenance workshop continues to be the
centre for our activities. In June 2015 we established a permanent
workshop location in the Canmore Recreation Centre. Members access
the workshop tools and equipment to work on their own bike project and
learn from volunteer mentors. The workshop has programming of DIY
events throughout the 2016 summer.
CCC has also introduced new programs to promote a community culture
that embraces cycling. In 2014 we used $7,000 from an Eco Trust grant to
initiate Bike Friendly Canmore in partnership with the Town of Canmore,
Canmore Business and Tourism, the Canmore Folk Festival, and the
Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley. Forty-three businesses were involved
promoting Canmore as the most bike friendly town in Alberta. Bike Friendly
Canmore is now run by Canmore Business and Tourism and in 2015 there
were more than fifty businesses involved in the program. In 2014, CCC
provided bike racks, staffing and promotional support enabling the
Canmore Folk Festival to become the first “bike friendly” event. Hundreds
of festival goers now prefer to bike to the event as a result.
In June 2015 CCC launched SafeRoads with close to $14,000 funding from
Alberta Traffic and Safety Program (ATSP). The mandate was to champion
safe roads for all users, but primarily drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. 10
volunteer hosts were recruited and 9 trained in CanBike traffic safety. The
3
Page 5 of 121
SafeRoad Hosts staffed a booth for 8 hours x 12 market days, 3 Folk
Festival days, 1 WILD day, and 1 Canada Day exhibit. They also hosted
several evening and weekend ride-arounds as well as one tour with Town
of Canmore engineers. Hosts dispensed safety gear and tips, traded
insights about and learn reaction to developing bike infrastructure, and
performed ABC bike safety checks. They reached over 2,000 people;
distributed hundreds of bells, honka-hootas, lights, reflectors, water bottles,
treats and safety publications; gathered hundreds of quotes from visitors
and residents all while educating everyone in safe-road-practices.
Children embraced the Spin to Win game as an invitation to learn.
CCC and SafeRoads extended our reach by participating actively in
social media campaigns on Facebook and Twitter. We also received
newspaper coverage as part of a double page spread on cycling
infrastructure in Canmore. A full report of findings will be completed by
June 16 2016.
In September 2015 CCC hosted the 3rd annual Alberta Bicycle Commuters
Conference attended by over 80 individuals represetnating the spectrum
of cycling advocacy and municipal support in which we showcased our
SafeRoads project to other Alberta communities and provincial
government representatives. The presentation was also distributed
electronically to about twenty-five cycling organizations.

SUBJECT:
Bow Valley Early Childhood Coalition
SUBMITTED BY:
Patricia de Boer, Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Coalition
Coordinator
PURPOSE:
To update Council on the activities of the Bow Valley Early Childhood
Development Coalition.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Coalition (The Coalition) builds nurturing communities,
stable families and thriving societies that raise healthy, happy children.
There is powerful multidisciplinary evidence that the early years of development from conception to age six,
particularly for the first three years, set the base for competence and coping skills that affect learning,
behavior and health throughout life. Communities that invest in young children raise healthy children who
then become productive members of society, which will increase the economic prosperity and overall social
well-being of a community.
At some point in a child’s life, however, 10 to 20 per cent of children face at-risk circumstances such as
parental low income, low education, poor health, social isolation, and lack of supportive networks.
Communities that provide responsive supports and programs can help protect children and build resiliency to
toxic life stress. According to research released from the ECMap project, every $1 invested in early childhood
is equivalent to $3 spent on school-aged children and $8 spent on young adults (Attachment 1).
The Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Coalition brings together service providers and other
interested stakeholders who share a common goal of supporting children and families through coordinated
and collaborative work. The Coalition currently has 98 Bow Valley members with representation from
schools, community groups, daycares, day homes, Alberta Health Services, and many more.
The Coalition works with local data that demonstrates school readiness for Bow Valley children using the
Early Development Instrument (EDI) tool. This population level measurement tool supports responsive
program development in the Bow Valley by providing The Coalition with information on how Bow Valley
children are doing as well as provincial comparison data. The five key developmental areas that EDI
measures include:
1. Social Competence: Responsibility and respect, positive approach to learning, curiosity
2. Language & Thinking Skills: Basic literacy skills, interest in literacy/numeracy and memory, basic
numeracy skills
3. Physical Health & Well-being: Physical readiness for the school day, physical independence, gross
and fine motor skills
4. Emotional Maturity: Pro-social and helping behaviors

5. Communication & General Knowledge: Ability to listen and participate in storytelling, ability to
communicate and articulate information effectively.
DISCUSSION
The Town of Canmore is the fiscal agent for The Coalition. Ellen Thuringer, Supervisor of Bow Valley
Parent Link (BVPL), manages the provincial contract and facilitates communication between the province
and The Coalition’s Coordinator. The Coalition and BVPL have a synergetic relationship that together
provide our community with an evidence-based, wrap-around early years’ foundation.
The Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Coalition meets on a quarterly basis and is organized into
working groups that meet throughout the year. These working groups ensure that actionable steps are made
towards The Coalitions strategic goals and target areas. Bow Valley specific EDI statistics are also examined
and analyzed. As per the 2014 Bow Valley-specific EDI data for participating Bow Valley kindergarten
children, there were two areas of greatest concern:


29.5 % experienced difficulty in the area of Emotional Maturity.
27.5% experienced difficulty in the area of Communications and General Knowledge.
The EDI data highlights the important reciprocal relationship between raising healthy children and building
healthy communities. With this in mind, The Coalition developed a Strategic Plan (Attachment 2) to focus the
goals and activities in 2016. The Coalition will focus on 4 main strategic target areas:
1. Community Engagement: Engage community members across the Bow Valley to increase awareness
of the importance of Early Childhood Development.
2. Collaborative Planning and Partnership: Nurture positive collaborative relationships within the ECD
community.
3. Knowledge Mobilization and Communication: Increase awareness and provision of education about
the importance of Early Childhood learning and development within the Bow Valley.
4. Coalition Development: To Broaden community membership, capacity and leadership in the area of
ECD.
As a result of The Coalition, great programs have already been successfully launched throughout the Bow
Valley. Some examples include: Spring and Fall “Early Years” Fairs, a monthly Young Children’s Calendar
(Attachment 3), ‘Gearing Up for Kindergarten’ program and a Social Media presence.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
 Canmore’s services and programs respond to the aspirations of its residents and visitors and are
delivered in an effective, innovative, and fiscally responsible manner.
 Canmore is a viable community for people of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds
 We value and support “people” as the corporation’s and community’s strongest asset.

Investing in early
childhood development:
What’s the payoff?
The early years (from before birth to age five) are the most critical
period in a child’s development. A child’s experiences during this period
of time influence how well the brain develops and genetic potential is
fulfilled. A child’s early experiences and
environments have a lifelong impact
on everything from mental and
physical health to success in
school, work and
relationships.
supportive
Parents and caregivers
families
play the most important
role in providing young
children with the nurturing
experiences that they need to thrive
and do well. But other adults, the
community, government and society as a
whole play an important role too in creating
safe, stimulating early environments and
making sure parents have the resources and
support they need to raise healthy children.
Positive early development is a shared
responsibility that involves everyone
working together, including parents, families,
community members, businesspeople,
service providers, educators, policy-makers
and governments.
strengthens our communities and our
economy. Studies in Canada, the U.S. and
elsewhere report that supporting positive
early development is a solid investment that
can reap tangible economic benefits many
times the value of the original input —
anywhere from seven to 16 per cent a year1
The benefits of investing in the early years
extend far beyond the individual child and
family. Giving children a good start in life
Supporting healthy development for all
children is not just a moral issue, but a
practical consideration that pays off.
Did you
know?
• More than one in four
children in Alberta and
Canada are struggling
in their development by
kindergarten.
• Children who grow up
in impoverished and
disadvantaged homes
are more likely to
experience difficulties
in development. BUT,
the greatest number
of Canadian children
who are experiencing
developmental difficulties
come from middle-class
homes because of the
sheer size of the middle
class in Canada.
• Making sure that all
children have the supports,
programs and services
they need for healthy
development is the best
way to ensure that no
children are left behind.

=$
That’s the return on investment in early childhood programs, according
to U.S. economist and Nobel Prize winner James Heckman. Heckman
calculates that $1 invested in early childhood is equivalent to $3 spent
on school-aged children and $8 on young adults.2
The economic costs of delayed development could
be as high as 20 per cent of Canada’s GDP over the
next 60 years as young children fail to reach standard
benchmarks of development.3
50%
The child poverty rate in Quebec was reduced
by half after the province introduced quality,
low-cost early childhood care, as well as beforeand after-school programming. Tax revenues from
mothers who were then able to enter the workforce
covered the cost of the programs.4
94%
The percentage of elementary school children
who were diagnosed with behaviour disorders
every year in Revelstoke dropped by 94 per cent
after the B.C. town mobilized to promote positive
early development. Revelstoke has one of the
lowest rates of young children experiencing
developmental difficulties in the province.5
Taxpayers in Ontario saved nearly $1,000
on public services for every child who participated
in the Better Beginnings, Better Futures program by
Grade 9. The enriched, community-based pilot program
for children aged four to
eight in three disadvantaged
communities is expected
to show even higher cost
savings as the children who
participated grow older.6

Improving the high school completion rate in Canada by
one per cent would save $7.7 billion annually (in 2008
dollars) in social assistance, costs of crime, lost earnings,
tax revenues, employment insurance and other public
expenditures.7 About one in five students in Alberta and
Canada fail to graduate from high school.8 Studies show
that children who do well in their early years are more likely
to complete high school.

BACKGROUND
The Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Committee first began working
together in 2008 when key early learning service providers (Bow Valley Parent
Link, FCSS Banff, Canadian Rockies Public Schools, Alberta Health Services, Canmore
Community Daycare) started meeting as a group. In 2009, selected Bow Valley
schools participated in a pilot early childhood mapping initiative. The original
stakeholders received the data and began working together to coordinate and
improve services for families and young children.
In 2011, this original Bow Valley ECD Committee officially became a coalition and
had financial support from a $50K seed grant through the Early Child Development
Mapping Project (ECMap). This enabled the hiring of a part-time Coordinator and a
focus away from fundraising and towards identified goals.
In February 2011 and 2013 EDI data was collected in all 3 Bow Valley School
divisions (Canadian Rockies Public Schools, Our Lady of the Snows Catholic
Academy of Christ the Redeemer School Division and École Notre-Dame des Monts,
Francophone School District). This data was received, widely shared and has
informed the coalition’s on-going work. In Feb 2016, another round of EDI was
collected and the Coalition is eagerly awaiting the updated data and plans to use it
to further develop and refine the priorities and focus for its continued work.
In 2015, the BV ECD Coalition was successful in securing $22.5K bridge funding
from Alberta Education. The Coalition has also received donations from other
community groups. i.e. $3100 from the Banff Community Foundation, $5000 from
LaFarge and $10,000 from the 100+ Women Who Care Rockies in 2014 and 2015.
This money funds the ongoing work of the coalition, i.e. part-time coordinator costs
as well as specific activities the Coalition plans and delivers, i.e. Gearing Up for
Kindergarten program, and the Early Years Fairs, for example.
In 2016 the Coalition received $22.5K from the Family and Community Support
Services Association of Alberta (FCSSAA). This funding is used to cover the
Coalition’s ongoing operational costs for 2016 and will be applied for on an annual
basis.
This Strategic Plan documents and focuses the activities of the Bow Valley Early
Childhood Development Coalition in an effort to improve the lives of children and
families in the Bow Valley community.

VISION
Thriving families, invested communities.
MISSION
The Bow Valley ECD Coalition consists of service providers, community partners,
parents and businesses committed to the creation of a child and family friendly
community. By investing in the critical years, 0-6, the health of the whole
community is strengthened.
THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT INSTRUMENT (EDI)
The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a standardized tool that measures the
development of five-year-old children. It has been widely used across Canada and
internationally since it was developed in 1998 by the Offord Centre for Child Studies
at McMaster University. Kindergarten teachers complete questionnaires on ageappropriate indicators of development for each child in their classroom. The results
are grouped together to provide population-based information. The EDI is not a
diagnostic tool. It provides families, service providers, educators, communities and
policy makers with a current picture of how young children are doing, so they can
work to support and improve outcomes for children in their community.
The EDI provides information on five main areas of children's development:
1. Social competence
2. Language and thinking skills
3. Physical health and well being
4. Emotional maturity
5. Communication skills and general knowledge
According to the Bow Valley community profile published by ECMap in April 2014,
25.4 per cent of kindergarten children are experiencing great difficulty in one or
more areas of development as compared to 28.9 percent of kindergarten children in
Alberta and 25.4 per cent in Canada. Approaching one in three Bow Valley
kindergarten aged children struggle with emotional maturity.

The EDI research data provided by the Alberta Early Childhood Mapping Project
assists the Bow Valley Early Childhood Development Coalition in monitoring early
childhood development outcomes. We use the data as a baseline to guide our
annual activities and in setting our goals. Link for the most recent Bow Valley data:

has lifelong implications on everything from learning to school success, family life
and other relationships, and mental and physical health.”

CONCLUSION
The goals, strategies and actions outlined within this Strategic Plan have been

fluid as the needs of the community emerge and change and the Coalition responds.
Through our effort we can make a difference and create a community where all Bow
Valley Children thrive.
“We labor under a sort of superstition that the child has nothing to learn during
the first five years of its life. On the contrary, the fact is that the child never
learns (afterwards) what it does in its first five years.” Mahatma Gandhi, 1925

Briefing
DATE OF MEETING:
June 14, 2016
Agenda #: D-1
TO:
SUBJECT:
Bow Valley Parent Link update
SUBMITTED BY:
Ellen Thuringer, Supervisor, Bow Valley Parent Link(BVPL)
PURPOSE:
To update Council on the activities of Bow Valley Parent Link.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Since 2006, Bow Valley Parent Link (BVPL) has provided early years’ programs and services for families with
young children (under 6 years old).
The early years are a critical time in children’s developmental trajectory and experiences in this timeframe set
the stage for all future development. Research has linked early brain development with a child’s social
competence, cognitive skills, emotional well-being, language, literacy skills, physical abilities and it is a marker
for well-being in school and life-long resiliency.
Raising a young child can often be both a positive and a stressful experience. BVPL supports young families
by providing evidence-based programs that enhance parental confidence and skills, increase their connections
in the community and provide relevant referrals to community resources. BVPL is one of 54 provincially
funded Parent Link Centres across Alberta. Investments in programs that enhance the five core areas outlined
below are linked to positive long-term community outcomes:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Early Childhood Development and Care,
Parent Education,
Family Support,
Information and Referrals, and
Developmental Screening.
BVPL is an inter-municipal collaborative partnership between the Town of Canmore, Town of Banff and the
MD of Bighorn. The BVPL team operates within the Town of Canmore with a mandate to support young
families across the Bow Valley (including Lake Louise). Being provincially funded as an inter-municipal team
provides a consistent standard of care across the Bow Valley while allowing municipalities the opportunity to
flexibly respond to community needs.
DISCUSSION
Bow Valley Parent Link operates 13 Family Connections, Stay and Play, Drop-In programs weekly across the
three communities: Canmore, Banff, and Exshaw and offers ongoing events in Lake Louise. The Drop-In is
an important ‘gateway’ program that draws families in and ensures they have crucial opportunities for
connection with each other, BVPL staff, and the many community supports.

Drop-In numbers from April 1st 2014- March 31, 2015 totaled 14,582 (adults and children).
Drop-In numbers from April 1st 2013- March 31, 2014 totaled 13,964
Drop-In numbers from April 1st 2012- March 31, 2013 totaled 15,887
While Drop-In participation numbers vary slightly from year to year, overall data shows that there is a
consistent need for young families to access Bow Valley Parent Link programs and services. In 2014-2015:



Parent Education program participation increased by 88% (as compared to 2012-13)
Family Support program participation increased by 38% (as compared to 2012-13)
Total hours of service provided for families increased by 23% (as compared to 2012-13)
As the demand for Bow Valley Parent Link programs and services grows, this vital service continues to look
for ways to meet the increasing needs. In 2016, Town of Canmore council approved an additional $35K in
funding that enabled a 0.65% increase in staffing levels spread over 5 BVPL positions.
As a result of this funding, plans have been made to pilot a number of new programs over July and August,
including:

Capital project 1406 – Data Backup System
SUBMITTED BY:
Allan Wingenbach, Supervisor of Information Technology
PURPOSE:
To inform Council about a change in the implementation of this project
which will result in a reduction in capital costs and create ongoing operating
costs in subsequent years.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Capital project 1406 for a Data Backup System was approved as part of the 2014 Budget process in the
amount of $35,000. A copy of the project justification sheet is attached (#1) for reference purposes. As a
means to ensure that the Town’s data is secure, this project involved the acquisition of software and offsite
hardware that data could be replicated to.
We engaged an external I.T. services planning company to assist us in identifying an appropriate solution. As
a result, I.T. has installed hardware at a secondary Town facility to which data is replicated on a daily basis.
We have also been able to increase our capabilities in the area of backup by changing the licencing for our
existing backup software platform, resulting in capital costs being far less than anticipated. Total
expenditures for this project to date have been $ 12,390 leaving a balance of $ 22,610 remaining in this capital
project’s budget.
At this time we have a stable and reliable backup system that provides three copies of Town data every week,
stored in separate locations within Canmore. Data is now backed up to storage in our server cabinet,
replicated offsite to another Town facility and then copied to tape which is also stored offsite.
DISCUSSION
Since the initial planning of this project, the technologies and solutions available to us have changed
significantly. Canadian based services are now available that our existing backup software can replicate our
data to. As these services all use data centres in major cities in Canada, we are able to comply with privacy
regulations and keep a full backup of our data at a location that has a significant geographic separation from
an event or disaster that could impact Canmore. Additionally, if we were to completely lose the ability to
operate our systems, we could start up our servers at the backup provider’s location and access them remotely
within a few hours.
We plan to implement this type of service in addition to the current protections in place to provide an
additional safeguard for our data and support business continuity in case of disaster.
This item is coming to a Council as an information item, as the project’s scope, budget, and funding source
have not changed, thus, it does not require a decision of Council. At the time of the preparation of the capital
Page 35 of 121
Data Backup System
Page 2 of 2
project justification sheet, the actual technological solution that would be implemented was not known and at
the time, it was not known if there would be any resulting ongoing operational budget impacts, thus, none
were included.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There is an initial implementation cost of $ 1,000 and annual costs for this service are $ 7,000 based on the
current size of the Town’s backups. We are funding the 2016 costs from the existing capital project and will
be adding the annual cost in subsequent years to the operating budget under Information Technology Professional Services. This will allow us to move forward with the implementation in 2016 and plan for
expenditures in subsequent years.
Council was informed of the initial scope of the project through the capital budget request. Town
Management was consulted through conversations during the course of the project.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This change aligns with the vision of Service by supporting delivery of services in an effective, innovative and
fiscally responsible manner.

SUBJECT:
Recreation Fees
SUBMITTED BY:
Jim Younker, Manager of Recreation Services
PURPOSE:
To obtain Council’s feedback on a proposed three-year fee schedule for
recreation facilities and services.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Recreation Services has not completed a fee review in some time. In some cases, fees have fallen behind
those charged by other proximate communities for identical services. In June 2012 the Town adopted a
Recreation Services User Fee and Rental Rate Policy. The proposed pricing schedule attempts to bring
pricing into compliance with this policy, where sufficient information is available to apply it. Elevation Place
opened in 2013 and usage fees have not been adjusted since. Elevation Place attracts close to 600,000 people
annually and currently serves 5,251 members. Expenses related to the provision of recreation services and
facilities continue to rise. It is desirable to provide certainty as to rate changes to stakeholders. More
frequent, incremental price increases are generally easier to digest than large sporadic increases. Recreation
Services has therefore prepared a three-year fee structure for 2017, 2018 and 2019, upon which operating
budgets will be based.
DISCUSSION
Revenues generated through recreation facility rentals and program and membership fees have increased
steadily since the opening of Elevation Place and the adoption of the Enterprise Operating Model. For
Recreation Services to continue to meet financial targets, fees will need to reflect the rising costs of
operations. While revenues have grown substantially over the past four years, so too have expenses. The
steep growth curve enjoyed over the past four years has flattened out and the prudent management of both
sides of the ledger is now required to maintain current financial performance, while continuing to broaden
participation.
Participation in recreational opportunities and the health and wellness of residents is the ultimate determinant
of the success of Recreation Services. The proposed fee schedule should not elevate barriers to participation,
nor negatively impact stakeholders. Posting fee increases well in advance allows key stakeholders, such as
Elevation Place members, Canmore Minor Hockey (CMHA), Canmore Skating Club (CSC) and Canmore
Minor Soccer (CMS) to prepare their budgets in confidence with no fear of surprises. The schedule also
provides business certainty for private sector service providers.
The attached schedule (appendix 1) details the proposed fees. Increases are highlighted in yellow. It also
provides comparable rates at other similar facilities and projects the impact of the proposed changes on
revenues. You will note that the largest increases have been applied to non-resident users and adults. Fee
Page 39 of 121
Proposed 2017-2019 Recreation Services Fee Schedule
Page 2 of 5
increases for child and youth services and programs have been minimized. This is consistent with the cost
recovery pyramid contained in the Recreation Services User Fee and Rental Rate Policy. You will also note
that the most impactful changes are in Go Beyond memberships to Elevation Place and ice rental fees at the
Canmore Recreation Centre.
Elevation Place
The total cost to operate Elevation Place in 2015 was approximately $3.8M. Recreation Services was able to
generate approximately $2.6M in revenue thereby recovering 69% of the costs. This level of cost recovery is
the midpoint of the cost recovery pyramid, which is relatively high for services and programming serving
child, youth, and seniors, and a bit below recovery guidelines for adults. Detailed cost allocation is not
available, but it is estimated that the aquatics facility, which is heavily used by children and youth, recovers
less than 25% of its operating costs, the climbing gym 80% and the fitness spaces over 100%. Since precise
costs aren’t known, a market comparison was used to evaluate current pricing at Elevation Place.
Splash
Splash fees are for admittance to the Aquatics Centre only at Elevation Place. A review of comparable
facilities revealed that the rates currently charged for Splash single use or memberships at Elevation Place are
generally on par with, or slight higher than, comparable facilities. For this reason, no changes are proposed to
Splash fees through 2019.
Go Beyond
A review of comparable facilities, both public and private sector, suggested that the current fees charged for
all day access to aquatics, fitness, and climbing are generally less than market, particularly in comparison with
annual memberships. For this reason it is proposed that daily Go Beyond fees be increased $1 in 2017 for
young adults (18 – 25), adults (26 – 64), and seniors (65-79). This represents a 6 to 8% year over year
increase, but only an average 1% annual increase from the time of Elevation Place’s opening, to the effective
date of the increase.
It is further proposed that the daily family rates also be increased $1 in 2018. This represents a 3 to 5% year
over year increase and annualized increase from opening of 1%. All term memberships will increase
proportionately. A 12 month Adult Go Beyond membership will increase $19. A two parent family will
increase $51. No increases are proposed for children, youth, or seniors over the age of 80.
Canmore Recreation Centre
Industry benchmarks have established the average cost of providing a sheet of ice for an hour in a two pad
facility at $170. The cost recovery pyramid would therefore suggest that resident not-for-profit youth groups,
such as CMHA, CSC and Pond Hockey should be paying $128 to $170 per hour. Resident Adult groups
should be paying between $170 and $255.
A review of comparable facilities in the same market revealed that Canmore is charging significantly less. The
proximity of Fenlands Arena and the integration of youth programs between the two municipalities implies
that rental rates should be synchronized. The current discrepancy encourages stakeholders to use a
disproportionate amount of Canmore ice. While this is certainly more convenient for Canmore residents, it
exacerbates conflicts over ice allocation.
Page 40 of 121
Page 3 of 5
It is therefore proposed that ice rental rates be increased 2% to 8% in 2017 and again in 2019 depending on
the user group. The highest increases are on non-resident ice use and adults. Youth prime time rates will be
unchanged through 2019. Youth non-prime will be increased from $80 in 2016 to $90 in 2019 in an attempt
to bring this rate closer to the comparables and bridge the current price gap with Banff.
Recreation Services also proposes to change the definition of prime time as it relates to the rental of facilities
at the Canmore Recreation Centre, to start at 3:30 PM weekdays. Prime time currently starts at 4:00 PM, but
most of our stakeholders start their programs at 3:30. There is limited demand for weekend ice in the
summer months, so this will be designated non-prime to hopefully attract greater utilization. The fees
associated with summer ice rentals have also been increased to better reflect the higher costs of maintaining
ice through the warm months.
Room, Fields, Courts and Parks Rental Fees
A number of other fee increases, and a few decreases, are proposed in the detailed schedule. The fee for
renting the event site at Quarry Lake was increased in 2015, from $99 for residents and $175 for
nonresidents, to $150 and $300 respectively. An increase in 2017 to $175 and $350 will bring this more in to
line with similar par spaces in Banff.
School Program Fees
Recreation Services seeks to encourage the broadest possible participation in recreation and this involves
reducing and/or eliminating barriers. The base of the cost recovery pyramid prescribes that basic, “learn to
programs”, which reach community wide, need recover 0 to 49% of their cost. Recreation Services seeks to
overcome the economic, social, and cultural barriers to participation in recreation through partnering with
our educational partners to offer low cost opportunities during school hours, when these facilities have excess
capacity. Recreation Services proposes to hold the line on school pricing.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
 Go Beyond Fees
It is estimated that these price changes will generate an additional $52K in revenue in 2017, $18K in 2018,
and a three year cumulative effect of $208K.
 Ice Rental Fees
It is estimated that these increased fees will generate an additional $37K in revenue in 2017, $57K in 2018,
and a three year cumulative effect of $150K.
IMPLEMENTATION
It is proposed that fee changes proposed for 2017, 2018 and 2019 will take effect July 1 of each year. This
will allow Elevation Place to benefit from the Go Beyond fee increase over the busy summer tourism season
and avoid any mid-season adjustments for our winter ice users.
Stakeholder engagement will occur after feedback is received from Council and will provide a year’s advanced
notice of fee changes. Recreation Services will work very closely with key stakeholders to mitigate the impact
of any fee increases by making more efficient use of facilities.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Resident/nonresident pricing differentiation
The rental of most recreation venues is subject to a discount for resident groups. Qualification is determined
by the composition of the actual users, which must be at least 50% residents. The Recreation Services team
debated whether the same logic should apply to services, such as access to Elevation Place and public skating.
The practice of differentiated resident/nonresident pricing has been adopted by a number of communities,
including Fernie, B.C. Canmore is a very popular tourist destination and Elevation Place a well-liked venue.
Revenue derived from second owners or tourists helps recover operating costs. This strategy is challenging
to administer and can appear to penalize visitors. Recreation Services does not want to infer that visitors are
unwelcome and therefore is not recommending split pricing at this time. The membership options at
Elevation Place are the vehicle which allows permanent residents to enjoy this facility at a discount.
Weekday/weekend and holiday
An alternative pricing strategy, which at least appears to be more equitable, is charging a premium to access
popular venues during peak attendance periods, such as weekends and school holidays. The pool and
climbing gym often have long waiting lists at these times. This strategy can also be presented as a discount in
non-peak times, and does, at least, relate cost to the demand for service. Recreation Services is not
advocating this approach at this time, but believes this is worth revisiting in 2017.
Seniors 65- 79 and 80+
5% of Elevation Place’s membership is comprised of residents aged 65 and over. Age 65 to 79 enjoy a 25%
discount from the annual rate charged to adults aged 26 to 64. Members 80 years of age and over enjoy free
memberships. The 2014 Canmore Community Monitoring Report reported that, “In terms of total
community income, Canmore proportionally reports more than double the investment earnings of Albertans.
This indicates that some portion of the community has significant sources of investment income, one which
is likely not evenly distributed amongst local residents.” It is impossible to conclude from this that residents
over the age of 65 actually enjoy higher incomes than other age groups. That said, the continuation of
discounts for seniors should be reevaluated in light of actual information as to need. No changes are
recommended at this time. Elevation Place currently counts 393 members between the ages of 65 and 79 and
73 over 80 years of age.
Fee Assistance and Campership
Any fee increase has the potential to discourage participation, and this is why Recreation Services is working
with the Communications Department to increase awareness of all recreation related financial assistance
opportunities. We are also working with Community Social Development to develop a more effective and
inclusive fee assistance program, which goes beyond recreation. This program will be brought to council in
the near future.
No Change
We could continue to keep fees as they are and make no changes. This is not recommended as it will
eventually require a significant increase which is often harder for individuals and user groups to manage.

3. DEFINITIONS: 3. 1 Recreation Includes all those activities in which an individual chooses to participate in his/her leisure time, including: artistic, creative, social, sport, physical, environmental, educational and intellectual activities (adapted from the National Recreation Statement, 1987) 3. 2 Programs Formal, planned, instructor led opportunities for individuals to develop skill or understanding in a specific content area, whether through registered or drop‐in activity. It does not refer to community led activities that are accessed at public open spaces or through admission / permitting a facility, nor the rental / permitting of parks or facilities by individuals or groups. 3. 3 Program Fee A fee charged for access to a Town coordinated and delivered program. 3. 4 Facility A Town owned and operated indoor or outdoor space. 3. 5 Facility Rental Rate A rate that grants utilization and enjoyment of Town owned spaces. 3. 6 Drop‐in Fee A fee charged for access to Recreation programs and services. 3. 7 Annual Membership Fee A fee charged for yearly use of Town owned and operated facilities and predetermined programs and services. 3. 8 Direct Operating Costs Direct operating costs are those expenses directly related to the provision of recreation programs and services. For the purpose of this Policy direct operating costs include: a.
All program instructional costs b.
The rental cost of non‐town facilities for community based programs. If the program is provided in a Town facility then the overhead cost will be applied. c.
Cost of all equipment and supplies. d.
A 25% overhead cost (percent of full time administration wages, advertising, insurance, software licensing and other overhead to implement the program) will be charged for Recreation Centre programs and services. e.
For those programs identified to be of the highest individual benefit, an additional 50% will be added to the program fee. 3. 9 Cost Recovery Pyramid Philosophical Principal The Pyramid is based upon the philosophy that users of recreation services that are perceived to have a highly individual benefit will pay a higher price, while users of recreation services with a perceived higher community benefit will pay lower prices. June 14, 2016 Committee of the Whole 1 p.m.

3. 10 User Classifications User classifications define and differentiate among the following user groups; 3.10.1 Preschool –an individual 3‐5 years of age inclusive 3.10.2 Youth – an individual 6‐17 years of age inclusive 3.10.3 Adult – an individual 18‐59 years of age inclusive 3.10.4 Senior – an individual 60+ years of age inclusive 3.10.5 Senior Plus – an individual 80+ years of age inclusive 3.10.6 AISH – Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) individuals 3.10.7 Jump Start / KidSport / Everyone Gets to Play – Sport & Recreation Subsidy Programs 3.10.8 Family – 1‐2 adults of the same household and their dependent children under the age of 18 who reside partially or fully with one or both parents / guardians 3.10.9 Resident ‐ an individual who, or a business that, resides within the Town of Canmore boundaries or pays Town of Canmore property taxes 3.10.10 Non‐resident – an individual or business that resides outside of the Town of Canmore and does not pay Town of Canmore property taxes 3.10.11 Not for Profit – a registered not‐for‐profit agency or public entity 3.10.12 Commercial – Any individual, company or organization engaged in the pursuit of business for profit 3.10.13 Private ‐ Any individual or organization which does not meet the requirements of the “Not for Profit” or “Commercial” definitions 3.10.14 Corporate – A group of 5 or more business people who provide business services within the Town of Canmore 4. POLICY PURPOSE 4.1 To provide a cost recovery framework and general guidelines for the establishment of pricing for recreation services that are in alignment with the Council approved User Participation and Cost Recovery Philosophical Principles. 5 POLICY FRAMEWORK This Cost Recovery Framework provides a methodology for determining the appropriate percent of cost recovery desired by the Town for both current and future recreations services. The adoption of this model will assist the Town in delivering services that are in alignment with the approved user participation and cost recovery philosophical principles, as well as meeting the established goals for cost recovery levels and budgeting. Recreation Services will implement a Cost Recovery Pyramid model that is a widely used best practice in the Recreation industry. This Cost Recovery Framework will provide guidance in the establishment of appropriate and fair pricing for Recreation services with consideration of lower fees that have the most community benefit and are aligned with market rates. This framework is based on a continuum that considers the community wide benefit and individual benefit of a program or activity. Further it supports the notion that the use of general purpose tax revenues is appropriate to subsidize services that have the most community wide benefit, while higher user fees are appropriate for services which have higher individual benefit. Based on this continuum, pricing will be adjusted to recover a portion or all of the direct operating costs for the delivery of recreation services and be aligned with market rates.

6 POLICY DIRECTIVES
2. 1 Program Fees and Facility Rental Rates
Pricing for access to Recreation programs and facilities will consider: the identified user
classifications, local and regional market analysis, degree of benefit and direct operating costs.
Fees will reflect priority consideration to residents, not for profits, youth and seniors. Factors
such as number of non-permanent residents and tourists will also be given consideration to
ensure access to selected services on a drop-in, daily and punch pass system.
Pricing will be designed to recover a percentage of the direct operating costs required to
provide a specific service depending on the level of individual benefit versus community benefit
as described in the Cost Recovery Pyramid.
7 RESPONSIBILITIES
Recreation Services will:
a. Provide and maintain recreation programs and facilities for use by the general public.
b. Provide trained and qualified personnel for supervision and instruction of recreation programs.
c. Welcome public input into the planning and evaluation of recreation programs and facilities.
d. Provide access for all residents to participate in programs and to optimize use of the recreation
facilities.
e. Establish pricing and provide reporting in accordance with the requirements of this policy.
8. VISION ALIGNMENT:
This policy aligns itself with the Mining the Future Vision, the TOC Business Plan, the Approved User
Participation and Cost Recovery Philosophical Principles and the Enterprise Governance Model. It
will encourage Community participation in Recreation services and programs and ensure that social,
personal, economic, educational, environmental and recreational wellness is promoted and
supported in the Community.

Briefing
DATE OF MEETING:
June 14, 2016
Agenda #: D-5
SUBJECT:
Recyclables and Waste Disposal Bylaw 2016-11
SUBMITTED BY:
Simon Robins, Supervisor of Solid Waste Services
PURPOSE :
That the Committee of the Whole review the proposed Recyclables and
Waste Disposal Bylaw that will be submitted for Council approval at a future
Council business meeting.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The existing Waste Control Bylaw was approved in 2001 and included several amendments over the years,
namely changes to the utility rates. Administration is currently reviewing and updating the bylaws that are
more than 10 years old. It is proposed that the revised bylaw consist of a complete update to include changes
that support recycling, update fines, simplify the disposal process, remove non - waste animal attractants and
provide a new bylaw format. The most significant change to the bylaw is that disposing of recyclables in
waste containers would now be a contravention subject to a fine.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION OR POLICY
Waste Control Bylaw 09-2001 was approved in 2001. Annual amendments are made to address rate changes
and minor changes were made when sections were moved to the Animal Control Bylaw.
DISCUSSION
Draft Bylaw 2016-11 would repeal and replace the existing Waste Control Bylaw (Bylaw 09-2001). This was
done rather than create amendments as there are substantial changes to the content of the bylaw (although
not the intent). The 2016 utility rates will remain unchanged and any future changes to rates would be
brought separately to Council as part of the 2017 budget process.
The current Waste Control Bylaw is 15 years old and is due for an update. The proposed bylaw has been
updated with participation from Public Works, Protective Services, and the Municipal Clerks office. It has
included a review of similar bylaws from several nearby communities.
Changes to the bylaw can be separated into 5 key categories:
1. Support recycling by banning any recyclables in waste containers,
2. Improve and make definitions more clear;
3. Changes that provide clearer language or minor changes of intent;
4. New sections or additions that administration feels are required to better protect the waste
infrastructure and the environment; and
5. Penalty increases.
To assist with the discussion the changes have been consolidated in Attachment 1 - Summary of Changes.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS – N/A
Page 63 of 121
RFD – Waste Control Bylaw 2016-11
Page 2 of 4
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Financial implications are limited to Schedule A: Fees for Recyclables and Waste Collection and Schedule C:
Specified Penalties. Generally, changes in fine values are consistent with penalties in other similar
communities and with the intent of providing a financial deterrent. Very few fines are issued under the
current bylaw; therefore administration does not foresee increased revenues as a result of this change.
No formal stakeholder engagement has occurred. Once the Bylaw is passed there will be an educational
campaign, using advertisements and social media, to inform residents and businesses of the new material
bans.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Aligns with Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. The revised Recyclables and Waste Disposal bylaw
specifies the prohibition of any recyclables in the waste which supports the goal of reducing the amount of
waste that the community sends to landfill.

Briefing
DATE OF MEETING:
June 14, 2016
Agenda #: D-6
TO:
SUBJECT:
Update on Smith Creek Area Structure Plan process.
SUBMITTED BY:
Alaric Fish, Manager of Planning and Development.
PURPOSE:
To provide an update to Council and the community on the Area Structure
Plan process to date and next steps moving forward.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Late in 2014 representatives of the new owners of Three Sisters Mountain Village Properties Ltd. expressed
their desire to prepare an Area Structure Plan (ASP) for the remaining area of the Three Sister’s lands not
currently covered by an ASP, an area now known as Smith Creek. Administration was interested in trying a
new approach to planning these lands and a collaborative approach has been undertaken in accordance with
the working together guidelines approved by Council on April 21, 2015. In June 2015 Council approved the
Terms of Reference for the Smith Creek Area Structure Plan. The process has not been easy or fast, but
progress continues to be made.
DISCUSSION
The project timeline included five phases. Work is currently underway on what has morphed into a single
phase and was previously described as Phases 3 and 4; specifically development and refinement of concept
plan, policy, and mapping. The project is behind the original estimated timelines and there is a strong desire
by the applicant to make their submission in August 2016. This is putting pressure on the project team to
complete their work and is not without challenges. Council has not had an update recently, and prior to the
Council’s summer break an update was felt to be useful. A summary of the Phase 3 engagement will be
forthcoming. A verbal presentation will be made at Council with the intent to provide information on four
main topics:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Wildlife corridor discussions between the Province and the land owner.
Provide an update on the timeline and some of the challenges.
Identify upcoming options for public engagement.
Provide information on the participation of the Community Advisory Group that has provided input
on the process.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
None.
None related to this update.

Soap Run and Walk was also held over the same weekend. These events contributed to filling
every hotel room in the Bow Valley.
b) The Canmore Eagles hockey team enjoyed a strong 2015-2016 season, advancing to the second
round of the playoffs. The team also enjoyed off-ice success as it moves forward with the
business plan developed in 2014. The Eagles made their first $10,000 payment on repayment of
deferred ice rental fees and are current in payment for their ice rentals. The organization is
approaching sustainability through their off-season programming, which now includes, “Learn to
be a Canadian hockey player”. The program, developed in concert with Tourism Canmore
Kananaskis, is offered Fridays at the Canmore Recreation Centre and is proving to be popular
with tourists from all over the world.

and attracts all of the scouts from the Western Hockey League. The organizing committee, led

surplus. Canmore is the first Town to host a third year. The 2017 Alberta Cup is scheduled for
next April.
d) The Recreation programming team met with representatives of the private sector fitness business
on May 25. Recreation Services provided an update on plans for the balance of 2016 and 2017.
The relationship is good and Recreation Services consistent communication is valued by the
private sector. Opportunities were identified for greater collaboration in the near future.
3. Municipal Clerk/Records
a) We have received notice of two complaints filed with the Office of Information and Privacy
Commissioner (OIPC) regarding the Town’s response to a request for records related to the
urban reserve lands in the Peaks of Grassi subdivision. The subject request for records was
received on February 5, 2016. Our search returned 400 paper and electronic documents and
3282 emails possibly related to the request. We estimated total time needed to produce the
records at 246 man hours, with 131 of those hours eligible for a fee calculated at $3,550. We
believed we could not complete this request in the 30 calendar days stipulated in the FOIP Act,
and so extended our response time to 60 days, as permitted by the Act based on the complexity
and breadth of the request.
At the request of the applicant, records other than email records were provided at the 30 day
mark, on March 7, 2016. The remaining records were provided on April 7, 2016, which was day
60. Total time needed to process the request was 125 hours, with 65 of those hours eligible for a
fee of $1,753.


The first complaint, submitted to the OIPC by the applicant on February 26 and received by
the Town on April 15, requests an investigation of the municipality’s need for a time
extension to provide records, the calculation of fees, and an unwillingness to respond to the
request in installments. The OIPC advised us of the documentation required for the
investigation, and we provided this on May 19. We have not yet been assigned an
investigator, however the original notice anticipates a completion date of August 25.
The second complaint, submitted to the OIPC by the applicant on March 22 and received by
the Town on May 27, requests an investigation of the municipality’s release of the contents
of the request for records to the Rocky Mountain Outlook. We have not yet been contacted
by the OIPC, either for their documentation requirements or for assignment of an
investigator. The original notice anticipates a completion date of September 19.
4. Protective Services
a) Fire-Rescue - With the addition of the Protective Services administrative assistant the
department has developed a new system to better track and follow up on false alarm calls. The
false alarm bylaw prescribes that any person who causes a false alarm receives two warnings prior
to a $250 fine.
b) Emergency Management – The May Cougar Creek emergency training exercise was scaled back
to an Emergency Coordination (ECC) exercise. The ECC activation plan was tested, the updated
3
Page 103 of 121
Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) was reviewed and a new ECC activation tool
was tested.
c) Bylaw Services –Bylaw Services officers will be stepping up the education and enforcement of 2
hour parking in the downtown core. This came as a result of consultation with the BRZ. Prior to
commencing this one of the Community Peace Officers attended the majority of the businesses
downtown to inform them of the increased enforcement.
Starting in June Community Peace Officers will be working until 8pm, 6 days out of 7. In
addition to this the new seasonal Bylaw Services Officer/Ambassador will start mid-June. This
officer will primarily focus their time conducting education in the downtown and on parks and
trails. 288 hours (36-8 hour shifts) was approved for this position in the 2016 budget.
d) RCMP – There was an increase in property crimes in the first quarter of the year. Upon review
these were crimes of opportunity by random suspects generally passing through town. There was
no one, isolated area as the identified occurrences were in various areas of town. Victims had left
items unsecured, unlocked motor vehicles, with keys left in them allowing for theft from motor
vehicles and theft of motor vehicles. These are where the noted spike in property crimes has
occurred. There have been more people travelling thru town seizing these opportunities.
Summer enhanced shifts will include a bike patrol component to enhance visibility and will
include patrolling residential areas.
Four Canmore RCMP members were deployed to assist with the efforts in For McMurray.

C. MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE
1. Planning & Development
a) Railway Setbacks - A new set of Guidelines were released last year that suggest municipalities
should take a significantly more cautious approach to allowing development next to railway lines.
Although our current land use bylaw has provisions for building setbacks from the railway, the
Guidelines propose much further setbacks. Implementing these Guidelines would make many
parcels of land difficult to develop based on current zoning, particularly for visitor
accommodation and residential uses.
There have been two recent proposals for development on lots adjacent to the railway tracks
through Canmore, although they are still in preliminary stages. These “infill” developments are
not being required to meet the Guidelines, but some additional mitigation beyond current land
use requirements is being discussed. There is a lack of understanding of the risk presented by the
railway in Canmore and to better understand this a capital project will likely be proposed in 2017
to undertake a broad risk assessment in relation to the Guidelines and accepted risk levels.
2. Engineering Services
a) General
 We say goodbye to Julia Eisl who returns to Austria after a very successful two year term
leading our Mountain Creek Hazard Mitigation Program. Her contributions have been
invaluable and we’ll be sad to see her go. Felix Camire will take over the lead role for the
program in addition to leading the Cougar Creek project. With Julia leaving we may require
further support through additional term positions through capital and grant funds as
necessary to complete program.
 We are welcoming back intern Katherine Clark for a three month term to backfill for team
members working on Smith Creek and Resort Centre ASP.
 ‘Little House’ parking lot complete and in use.

b) Mountain Creek Hazard Mitigation:
 Pigeon Creek short-term mitigation underway. This project is implemented by the M.D.
 Cougar Creek environmental impact assessment and detailed design work nearing
completion. To be submitted for permitting approval in July. Process is to be 12 to 18
months from there until permits in place to allow construction to begin.
 Risk assessments for Pigeon Creek and Stoneworks Creek in draft. We are nearing
completion of hazard and risk assessment for all five priority creeks! Long haul but lots of
very good science and excellent information to inform decisions on policy, development and
mitigation for future generations. Next up is to complete assessment on secondary priority
creeks X, Y, Z and Echo and we are actively seeking grant funds.
 Mitigation engagement, design and tender preparation for Cougar Creek channel works and
Three Sisters Creek parkway improvements underway.
c) Capital Projects
 Traffic signals at Main and 8th require careful consideration of corridor design. Work is
underway and signal install is expected later in 2016 or in spring of 2017.
 Engine Bridge rehabilitation ongoing. Work scheduled through end of June. The bridge will
be closed to pedestrian traffic as required by the contractor for the work.
 Awaiting agreement for legacy trail to Nordic Centre work, this is delaying tender and
construction and we’re hopeful for resolution soon.
 Dyrgas Gate – submitted grant funding amendment to the province that would allow for
permanent remediation per recommendations from recent exploratory program.
 Design and engagement continues for:
 CPR/BVT Crossing – August – Oct construction anticipated
 Benchlands Roundabout – August – 2017 construction anticipated
 Spring Creek Drive - engagement and design underway. Community walk-through held
on June 2nd.
 Parking study underway – draft to be completed in September.
 Stormwater rehabilitation (drywell replacement) at several locations complete.
 Town Centre laneway one-way pilot begins on June 6th. Pilot will inform rehabilitation to
take place after September long weekend.
 Preparation for local transit ongoing. Bus stop and bus barn design underway.
3. Facilities
a) Arena Shut Down Update
 Thelma Crowe Arena shut down will occur from June 13 to July 24.
 Each arena undergoes a full or partial shutdown every 2 to 4 years depending on the
amount and type of maintenance required. Shut downs are alternated between the two
arenas to minimize service disruption and optimize resources.
b) Lantern Studio (821 9th St.) Demolition Project
 Project complete and parking was made available prior to the May Long Weekend.
7
Page 107 of 121

Waste diversion of 93% was achieved, which was higher than expected (note that this
figure includes the Animal Shelter Decommissioning Project, which also had a waste
diversion requirement).
c) Animal Shelter Decommissioning
 Project complete ahead of the Province’s June deadline to decommission and re-locate
the animal shelter components of the facility.
 Temporary holding pens have been established within the Public Works Yard and are
now in use.
d) Elevation Place Exterior Wall “Efflorescence”
 The Contractor is expected to start remediation efforts starting May 30th, and is expected
to last 3-4 weeks.
 Sidewalk closure behind Elevation Place will be required to allow crews to complete
their work
 Some service disruption within the pool is planned, but the facility will remain open.
The main impact will be on the east (railway side) area of the deck and adjacent
swimming lane.
4. Public Works
a) Public Works Day

Public Works Day with the
theme “We Are Here To
Help” occurred on Saturday,
May 14 between 11AM and
2PM. This was the second
year of the event and over
250 members of the public
attended. There were
information booths for
Invasive Weeds, Community
Clean Up, street maintenance
and water conversation. In addition to Town staff and equipment, Volker Stevin and Epcor
Water Services were also represented. The public had an opportunity to learn more about
the Public Works department, play on the equipment, and learn about specific services and
programs.
b) Parks
 Most seasonal staff have been hired and working on prepping the various green spaces for
regular maintenance.
c) Streets & Roads
 The 2016 annual spring street sweeping program was launched on March 22nd and
completed on May 5th. Over 700 tonnes of sweepings were recovered from all roads and
8
Page 108 of 121
boulevards compared with the 1,433 tonnes of sand applied to streets during the winter,
resulting in a recovery rate of 50% for 2016. The following graph illustrates the success of
the program from 2014 to 2016. Many factors play into the recovery rates including the
number of snowfalls and how quickly staff are able to begin the formal program.

d) Solid Waste Services
 The Toxic Round Up took place on May 7th, 2016. Nine, 1,000 litre totes and 30 barrels of
product were collected for proper disposal. This is less than half of what we have collected
in previous years. With the new Household Hazardous Waste and Paint collection facility at
the Boulder Crescent Recycling Depot the plan is to host only one Toxic Round up per year.
e) Utilities
 Regulatory: There were 3 reportable contraventions:
1. April 19 (not reported in previous COW report): A failure to collect a TTHM
(Trihalomethanes) sample for Q1 of 2016 at Pumphouse 2. The cause was operator
error. Instructions were given to collect this sample for PH1 only and should have
included PH2. TTHM samples are collected every 3 months per the approval to
operator.
2. May 3: A release of raw wastewater occurred at Lift Station 6 at the bottom of Elk Run
Boulevard (beside RCMP detachment). During regular rounds, an operator noticed
untreated wastewater coming out of a valve casing. An emergency repair found a loose
flange on the isolation valve. The repair required a full excavation and was completed
by noon on May 5.
3. May 4: An unauthorized release of wastewater from the Wastewater Treatment Plant
occurred that did not receive final UV treatment. This was a result of a software
upgrade that did not notice a UV critical alarm. Effluent quality before and after the
contravention were well within approval limits. Epcor’s operators with the support of
the Southern Alberta Maintenance group have begun a critical review of all current
alarming and monitoring trends to ensure all systems are functioning as per design.

BVRH Monthly Bulletin
June 2016
2016 ASCHA Conference and Tradeshow
Chair, CAO and board member Chip Olver attended this annual seniors housing event.
The event, held in Red Deer in April, is well attended by seniors housing operators from
across Alberta. CAO presented 2 sessions on Fund Raising, and also facilitated a group
discussion about the financial challenges faced by public housing bodies. The conference
offered educational opportunities, a tradeshow featuring products and services used in the
industry, government information sessions, and networking opportunities.
2016 Municipal Requisitions
BVRH is empowered to requisition the ratepayers of the region to contribute to our
supportive living programming through deficit and capital funding. In 2016 we have
managed to reduce our need for such funding by 5.3% compared to 2015. This means we
will be collecting $67,000 less through our contributing municipalities this year. This is
possible due to responsible management of our programming, along with the introduction
of the Rent Geared to Income revenue model in our lodges, which is reducing our
dependence on external sources of income.

Bow River Lodge Redevelopment “This is Home”
Schedule:
Phase 1: The building is closed in. Siding is nearing completion, while interior work
continues, including dry walling. The schedule still indicates substantial completion in
mid-October 2016, with full commissioning in late December 2016. Current progress
stands at approximately 60%.
Phase 2: Substantial planning will begin soon, now that we have initial agreements with
the provincial government and agencies and a Project Manager assigned by Alberta
Seniors and Housing. Construction on this phase cannot start until Phase 1 is complete
and fully operational. At this point in time we anticipate completion of Phase 2 in late
2018.
Design:
Phase 1: The design includes 63 new residential lodge units, replacing 43 aging units and
giving us 20 more, maximizing the available space in anticipation of the looming needs
of our aging population in the region. This design means that all of our seniors will be
housed in safe, new and fully functional spaces instead of some that are retro-fitted,
ensuring more effective and efficient accommodation along with much improved ability
to increase care services in the future. Aside from the better facility afforded by this
design it is important to also highlight the creation of a valuable and substantial piece of
property to be used to meet regional needs in the future. The area currently taken up by
the old parts of the original lodge will be used to bring higher levels of supportive living
to the region for true aging in place in Phase 2.
Phase 2: This facility will be purposely designed to meet the needs of designated
supportive living level 4 and dementia operations, including enhanced safety and careprovision considerations. AHS has provided design guidelines that the facility must
consider so as to secure a DSL agreement, which is the goal to meet the current and
future needs of the people of the region. Next steps include: Project Coordination, and
negotiation of a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with AHS.
Economics:
Phase 1: Alberta Seniors-Housing representatives remain supportive of the 80/20 sharing
model, whereby the Province will pay 100% of the project costs and BVRH will pay our
20% over time. The current total project cost estimate is $14.2 million.
Phase 2: The current capital cost estimate is $18.5 million. We have received a
commitment of a $6 million ASLI grant from the Government of Alberta. We have also
received word that Alberta Housing would like to fund this project under the model being
used to fund Phase 1. We plan to fund our share through a combination of fundraising
and financing.
It is expected that this development will improve our operating model to the point that we
are able to achieve economies of scale and eliminate the need to requisition for operating
costs at Bow River Lodge in the future. However, we may have to take on financing
related to the provision of staff accommodation.

Page 114 of 121
Communications:
Phase 1: Our communications strategy continues; site signage will be in place in late
2016.
Phase 2: Planning for the communications plan for phase 2 is being incorporated into our
overall communications strategy.
About Bow Valley Regional Housing
Bow Valley Regional Housing (BVRH) is a Housing Management Body (HMB) for the
Government of Alberta. The Provincial Government created HMBs to serve as operators
and administrators of provincially-owned social housing facilities. The Province owns a
large portfolio of these facilities through the Alberta Social Housing Corporation
(ASHC), serving many needy and vulnerable Albertans. Each HMB is self-governing
under the Alberta Housing Act, managing the ASHC assets in a particular region. Each
region is comprised of multiple municipalities, improvement districts, etc. HMBs may
operate other kinds of housing and may own buildings that house accommodation
programs.
Every municipality in Alberta is a contributing member of their regional HMB. They are
required to have at least one appointee on the governing board, which is responsible for
acting in the best interests of the HMB. The board must consider the needs of each
contributing municipality in its governance of the HMB.
HMB operations are funded through various means. Tenants pay rent and/or lodge fees,
however since these are set at affordable rates the revenues cannot cover the costs of
operations. Seniors Lodge deficits are funded through municipal ratepayer requisitions
and provincial grants. Social Housing deficits (including independent seniors housing and
community housing) are funded by Alberta Seniors and Housing.
As the HMB for the Bow Valley region we are responsible for social housing, as well as
affordable supportive living accommodation for seniors throughout Kananaskis Country,
the Bow Corridor, the MD of Bighorn and all of Banff National Park, an area covering
about 13,500 square kilometres. This region has two towns and seven hamlets containing
about 25,000 people. Our five contributing municipalities are: Kananaskis ID, MD of
Bighorn, Town of Canmore, Town of Banff and Banff National Park ID9. The people of
the region are able to access all of the programs we offer, subject to eligibility
requirements.
The BVRH Mission Statement
Bow Valley Regional Housing commits to provide accommodation services for the Bow
Valley region seniors and residents of modest means who struggle to secure and maintain
appropriate housing.
We manage:
 seniors’ lodges in Canmore and Banff that currently house up to 85 residents

accommodations to our vulnerable seniors while alleviating pressures in local
hospitals
seniors’ independent housing buildings in Canmore and Banff that include 62
one-bedroom apartments
58 family housing residences in Canmore
Interim relief housing for two households displaced by the June 2013 flooding

assistance to approximately 40 Bow Valley households
All told we currently house, or help to house approximately 425 residents of the Bow
Valley in 8 permanent and 1 interim housing projects encompassing 36 separate
buildings between 3 separate communities.
We are a self-governing body. We partner with two provincial ministries and five
municipal governments, along with numerous local and community agencies to provide
and promote safe and appropriate housing to our region.
The BVRH Vision Statement
Bow Valley Regional Housing aspires to collaborate with relevant agencies to ensure that
suitable programming that will mitigate the housing needs of our client base is available.
We will:
 Make decisions and recommendations using relevant and valid data regarding
community trends and housing needs.
 Obtain funding to develop infrastructure that meets identified needs for social and
senior’s affordable housing programs.
 Embrace operating principles that incorporate innovation, service excellence and best
practices.
 Attract and retain highly qualified and caring staff.
BVRH has approximately 36 employees based in either Bow River Lodge (Canmore) or
Cascade House (Banff). Our Administration and Maintenance Teams are based in
Canmore but serve all of our operations. We have Housekeeping and Food Service
Teams in both of our lodges.
BVRH Values
Service: client-focus; empathy; caring; commitment to quality and; a guiding philosophy
of serving our clients in their homes.

Summary of Executive Director’s Update for May 27, 2016
Biosphere Institute Board Meeting
CURRENT PROJECTS Since March 17, 2016 meeting update
Sustainable Action Canmore (SAC)/Small Steps Campaign
SAC (Town of Canmore funding) and the Small Steps Campaign (The Calgary
Foundation funding) are evolving together. These projects engage mainly Canmore’s
residents and its business community in sustainability actions. BIBV’s twice monthly
SAC email tips for sustainable homes are going to more than 700 Canmore/M.D. Bighorn
recipients. Other activities include:
 The Facebook Small Steps campaign is up and running. The 158 entries include
four Canmore councillors and the mayor.
 In large part due to our Small Steps program, our social media presence has
expanded greatly. We have 457 Likes on Facebook, 287 followers on Twitter, and
we are just initiating Instagram for BIBV.
 MW attended a Business After Hours event at the new Rocky Mountain Soap
Workshop on April 20 and announced the Small Steps program, highlighting
participants in attendance.
 Biosphere Institute Sustainable Home Toolkit Booklets continue to be distributed
to Canmore Real Estate Agents and property managers. Most recently, PEKA
requested more for ongoing distribution to all new renters (50 additional Booklets
to PEKA on April 28).
 Facebook posts and SAC email tips are sent out to encourage participation in the
Small Steps program by featuring local individuals and businesses.
 As part of the SAC/Small Steps program, BIBV hosted a lightbulb exchange from
January - March. Forty-six Canmore residents swapped out a total of 373
incandescent bulbs for energy efficient ones. Collectively, this saves more than 25
tonnes of eCO2 emissions/year and 28,000 kWh/year of energy.
Environment Canada EcoAction Community Funding Program
Riparian Rehabilitation: Invasive Species Removal and Restoration is a 36-month project
which started in 2015 and involves removing invasive plants and garbage from aquatic
sites throughout the Bow Valley and Kananaskis.
 We are now in the process of planning 2016 clean-up dates with several groups
including Alberta Government staff and Bow Valley Stewards.
 BG led a Riparian Rehabilitation and cleanup of Policeman’s Creek with 37
Grade 8 students and 6 teachers from Mitford School, Cochrane. JAF and BS
assisted with the cleanup.

(May 5-13). In April we visited the Exshaw Water Treatment Plant to prepare for the
“Save our Water” youth movie with Exshaw School Grade 7 students then worked with
16 students to film the movie short. It was edited and posted on YouTube for the Exshaw
launch of the Water EduKit (see it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPbgJf87aBc).
The previously filmed Canmore movie “Only Rain Down the Storm Drain” by LGMS
students, was shown to LGMS students. During Science Odyssey week, MW, JAF, KM
and BS presented the Water EduKit to 11 classes (127 students) from Exshaw School and
Lawrence Grassi Middle School. As part of the program, 52 invasive plants activity
books were given out to students.
Wildlife EduKits
 The new Cougar EduKit has been completed and was launched during Science
Odyssey week (May 5-13). MW, KM and BS presented the Cougar EduKit to 15
classes (192 students) at Exshaw School, Lawrence Grassi Middle School and École
Notre-Dame-des-Monts.
 MW and BS presented a Bear EduKit to 13 Mountain Munchkins (3 year olds) on
May 18.
