Headlines

“Healthy City” is Edmonton’s theme for Infrastructure Canada’s Smart Cities Challenge. “The Healthy City theme has the potential to address challenges such as reducing the incidence of disease, increasing social inclusion or reducing homelessness or related issues.” You can submit your ideas at the new Healthy City project website. Proposals are due to Infrastructure Canada on April 24.
The City is replacing Edmonton’s three oldest bus transit buildings this year, thanks in part to funding from the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund. “Work is currently underway at Belvedere and Jasper Place, and construction for Castle Downs will begin in March.” The work should all be completed this fall.
Paula Simons on the Valley Line LRT West: “The plan for a massive interchange at 149 Street and Stony Plain Road is one of those trial balloons that needs to be popped immediately. Preferably with a rocket launcher.”
The Edmonton Police Service unveiled its new $5.9 million Air 1 helicopter on Friday. “Because the new Air 1 is better, stronger, and faster than our previous helicopters, we can provide a greater level of safety and support across the city,” said Greg Preston, acting police chief.
Hello, Let’s Eat! is “a pilot project that encourages Edmontonians to connect over a meal.” You can apply to host a community meal at no cost for groups up to 24 people.
Mayor Don Iveson has launched a lobbyist registry. Anyone who wants to meet with the mayor’s office to discuss financial interests or policy changes will now have to register.

A new report from Stantec says “there is a general risk of committing new LRT lines to a 100+ yr. old bridge that has suffered serious corrosion and section loss prior to 1994, with some further deterioration since.” Apparently the concrete foundations can no longer carry the weight of LRT trains.
The Marc’s Patrick Saurette is the new board chair of Restaurants Canada.
The Oilers traded Mark Letestu to the Nashville Predators for Pontus Aberg. They also sent Brandon Davidson to the Islanders for a 3rd round pick. With the trade deadline looming, apparently seven teams are calling about Patrick Maroon.

We’re still in the fight!”
Here’s a recent edition of Social media watch in the Journal: Revolution and pipeline retweets.
I discovered recently that Edmonton Public Library members get access to Kanopy, a video streaming platform “with a large and unique collection of documentaries, feature films, shorts, and television series featuring over 30,000 films from hundreds of producers…and thousands of independent filmmakers.”

Edmonton Notes for February 4, 2018

It has been a couple of weeks since my last update, but I have a good excuse (which you can read about below). Here are my weekly Edmonton notes:

Headlines

Talk about a punch to the gut: “The city auditor issued a scathing critique of Edmonton’s waste management centre Thursday, a facility that’s been touted as best in class for years.” Turns out we’re nowhere close to the goal of diverting 90% of residential waste from landfill, and in fact our diversion rate has been trending down! Very disappointing.
DeepMind has announced funding for an endowed chair in the University of Alberta’s computing science department. “The new endowed research chair will be given full academic freedom to explore any interest that could advance the field of artificial intelligence, with the lab hoping its offer will attract a senior researcher with international renown.”
Details have been released for the 2018 Grey Cup which will take place right here in Edmonton from November 21-25. “Edmontonians love to rally behind a theme and in keeping with tradition, this year’s Grey Cup Festival will be focused on the city’s warm and welcoming hospitality,” said Brad Sparrow, Co-Chair of the Grey Cup Festival. The theme this year is “Bring the Heat”.
Congratulations to Chris LaBossiere and the team at Yardstick Software on the acquisition of Banister Research.
Why is it that people come to Edmonton to stay and don’t even realize it? Rita Neyer explores Still in Edmonton over at The Wanderer.

A new customer satisfaction survey has found that “89 per cent of respondents were satisfied with their experience using 311 in 2017.”
Edmonton has committed to continue with the FIFA 2026 bid process as City Council has agreed to support our city “as a candidate host city for the United Bid, a unique tri-country bid that brings together Canada, USA and Mexico.”
City Council has decided to keep looking at options for the pool at City Hall, even if they might have to spend a bit more. I understand that there are new provincial safety standards that the pool must comply with but is keeping the pool open with similar characteristics to today worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?
A new pilot program will rent out vacant municipal land to gardeners for a $100 fee starting this spring. “Applications for the pilot will be available on Feb. 12 with a deadline to apply by April 15.”
There’s a new climate change exhibition called Climate Change is Here now on display at the Meadows Community Recreation Centre. You can see it there until March 17.
Dave Mowat, ATB Financial’s well-known president and CEO, will retire from his position on June 30. His successor is expected to be announced in May.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a tough crowd here in Edmonton on Thursday evening. “Trudeau entered the hall in Edmonton’s MacEwan University to mixed chorus of applause and boos. His answers were interrupted periodically through the night by angry shouts, although Trudeau never lost his composure.”
The next application deadline for the Edmonton Community Foundation’s Young Edmonton Grants is February 15.
