Minister Kent Hehr’s <strong>April</strong><br />
Newsletter<br />
The Honourable Kent Hehr, MP<br />
w. kenthehrmp.ca p. 403-244-1880<br />
It has been over 100 days since I was appointed Minister of<br />
Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence.<br />
Each and every day I am honoured and proud to serve those<br />
who wear—or who have worn—our nation’s uniform.<br />
The opportunity to work with my caucus colleagues from across<br />
Canada is rewarding, and being a strong voice for Calgary and<br />
Alberta at the cabinet table is a tremendous privilege and<br />
responsibility that I do not take lightly.<br />
The Prime Minister has given me an aggressive mandate, one<br />
that I plan to fulfill through stronger relationships with veterans<br />
and the organizations that represent them.<br />
During my first days, I participated in a number of Veterans’<br />
Week activities, including Remembrance Day ceremonies in<br />
Ottawa. This special day was humbling and concluded a week<br />
of learning and listening. It reconfirmed my commitment to<br />
ensuring that we get Veterans the care they need, when and<br />
where they need it.<br />
Within the first month, I travelled across the country to engage<br />
with Veterans and Veterans’ organizations, and held my first<br />
Veterans’ Stakeholder Summit in Ottawa in December. Next, I<br />
travelled to Poland and Ukraine to meet our Canadian Armed<br />
Forces troops during the holidays and to thank them for their<br />
service on behalf of all Canadians.<br />
Veterans will once again be able to access services in offices<br />
closed in recent years. And, we have already re-hired more than<br />
175 front-line staff to provide more support to Veterans across<br />
Canada.<br />
I know that times are tough for Alberta and Canada. In the first<br />
100 days as a government, we have quickly begun work on key<br />
campaign promises that I believe will make a real difference in<br />
the lives of Canadians.<br />
We have already reduced taxes to the middle class. This will put<br />
more money in to 9 out of every 10 Canadian pockets.<br />
We have implemented a consultation process for pipeline<br />
projects that allows for industry, communities, first nations<br />
and people who are concerned about the environment to take<br />
part. I truly believe we are on a path to build public trust in our<br />
approach so that we can move forward in a thoughtful manner<br />
that will see success for our industry in the long run.<br />
The Prime Minister confirmed that $700 million in Infrastructure<br />
funds would start flowing to Alberta in the weeks ahead. Those<br />
investments in projects identified by our Provincial partners<br />
and their municipal partners will create thousands of jobs and<br />
generate economic benefits for our great province.<br />
My first 100 days have been exciting and I look forward to<br />
achieving much more in the future. My door, and my mind,<br />
will always remain open to the input and ideas of Canadians.<br />
We were elected on a mandate of real change, and part of that<br />
real change is a commitment to evidence based decisions and<br />
consultation with all of you.<br />
President’s Report<br />
By Sara Poldaas<br />
Plans are well underway to replace the playground at the ICA<br />
Community Hall. The Playground Committee has been working<br />
with both Parks Services and the Parks Foundation to secure additional<br />
funding and compile our wish-list. We expect to release<br />
a Request for Proposals by the end of March and have a preferred<br />
design chosen by mid-<strong>April</strong>. Installing the new playground<br />
using volunteer labour means more money to spend on equipment,<br />
so if you’re able to help us install, please let us know!<br />
Project Managers for both the <strong>12</strong> Street Bridge and Zoo Flood<br />
Mitigation Projects attended our General Meeting on March 7<br />
to listen to concerns and answer questions about the impact of<br />
both initiatives on our community. If you weren’t able to attend,<br />
you can read the (draft) minutes from that meeting on the ICA<br />
website, here: http://www.icacalgary.com/meeting-minutes/<br />
We’d like to express our sincere thanks to Katherine Hikita and<br />
Vivin Thomas for their continued willingness to meet with us as<br />
these projects progress.<br />
Finally, a focused effort to get the cob oven in working order in<br />
accordance with fire, health and safety guidelines has resulted in<br />
plans to fire it up for community-sponsored events this spring. A<br />
huge thanks goes to Shayne Dube, our ICA VP, Angie Lovegrove,<br />
ICA Hall Manager and Mieka West, Cob Oven volunteer, who<br />
have been driving this project in the last stages!<br />
As always, if you have any questions, comments or would like<br />

Parking Update<br />
Submitted by David Thomas, ICA B oard<br />
Director-at-Large<br />
Here’s an update on parking issues at present. As was reported<br />
at the general meeting of the ICA, the City and the Calgary<br />
Parking Authority (CPA) are proceeding with “angled parking”<br />
pilot projects. These will be implemented on 11th St between 8th<br />
Avenue and 11th Avenue (to where it joins <strong>12</strong>th St). Additionally<br />
there will be pilots on 13th Street and 14th Street, between 9th<br />
and 8th Avenues. Some final details are still being worked out,<br />
and these will soon be discussed with us.<br />
We asked the CPA what the duration of the project will be, and<br />
how it will be assessed, and have been told that “We’re thinking<br />
that the duration of the project will be until the end of Q2 2017,<br />
that should give us enough time to collect several seasons worth<br />
of data to determine how the changes are working. With that<br />
being said, if there’s something that clearly isn’t working we’re<br />
not hesitant to remove it right away. We won’t need to wait until<br />
the end of the project to remove anything that isn’t agreeable.”<br />
Our CPA contact person also noted that they are “still ironing out<br />
a few of the final details for assessment of the pilot, but we’ll<br />
be looking at occupancy data and doing visual inspections of the<br />

traffic and the parking throughout the period to determine the<br />
impacts.” She also added, and this is important, that “As well<br />
we’d really appreciate it if you keep the lines of communication<br />
open with us and let us know how it is living with the changes<br />
and what you’re hearing from residents.”<br />
In terms of other parking issues, the future of the Rouge<br />
parking lot is still being discussed within the larger context<br />
of bridge and road construction. There have been concerns<br />
expressed about the parking change process that led to the<br />
changes on 10th by the Lantern Church, and we are trying to<br />
makes sure that any future proposed changes are sent to the<br />
ICA Board for information. This process is run by the City and<br />
the residents who live on the affected street/avenue, but there<br />
may be occasions when the Board can ask a key question, or<br />
point out something that may have been overlooked, and it<br />
simply will keep the Board up to date. The contact person at<br />
the City who initiates and supervises parking rule changes of<br />
this type is Minh Huynh (Minh.Huynh@Calgary.ca;). His office<br />
handles requests for changes in the rules being applied and the<br />
signage needed if things are changed.<br />
Last but not least, we continue to be aware of the impact of<br />
new buildings and the parking needs of their residents and<br />
tenants on the community. LJ Robertson and her committee<br />
are wrestling with this on a monthly basis, and we are trying<br />
to ensure that we work closely with the City, the CPA, and the<br />
BRZ, on a coordinated approach.<br />

By Aditya Banerjee, IDI Chair, idi@icacalgary.com<br />
The IDI met with City planners on March 1 to begin a dialogue<br />
around a land use plan for the Inglewood/Ramsay Green Line<br />
station. We brought up five main themes that the community<br />
has identified as priorities to discuss in further depth:<br />
Parks and open space, including recreation and natural areas.<br />
Urban design and heritage preservation, to ensure new<br />
development is sensitive to existing heritage structures.<br />
A 9th Avenue urban design strategy and further information<br />
on streetscaping, traffic and parking strategies.<br />
Policy support, to help the IDI know about all of the policy<br />
documents and tools available for planning.<br />
Input into an amendment to the Area Redevelopment Plan<br />
and the enforcement of planning standards.<br />
We also discussed financial tools that may be used to<br />
fund future growth and public improvements such as Tax<br />
Increment Financing, Density Bonusing, and Off-site Levies.<br />
These options are being currently reviewed by The City’s<br />
growth strategies group for all established neighbourhoods<br />
in Calgary.<br />
The Green Line team recognizes that the community has been<br />
“over-engaged” in recent years on a number of projects and<br />
will look to test some of these ideas with the general public<br />
at a future open house. A first draft of the station land use<br />
plan will be completed by June, followed by an opportunity to<br />
provide feedback before the final draft that will be completed<br />
by December.<br />
On other matters, the IDI conveyed our feedback on the<br />
preliminary design of the <strong>12</strong>th Street SE Bridge to the Mayor<br />
and Councillors’ offices, along with our concerns about the<br />
omission of design and commemorative recommendations<br />
the community voiced through The City’s consultation<br />
process.<br />

Turning a Goal into a New<br />
Behaviour<br />
by Geoff Starling , Geoff@GrizzlyPT.com<br />
The concept of exercise serving as an effective method to<br />
treat a wide variety of medical conditions is not a new one.<br />
For decades studies have linked regular physical activity to<br />
improvements in heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes.<br />
Regular activity can also reduce the risk of falling, prevent<br />
injury, speed recovery time after surgery and heighten<br />
immune function. We all know that we should be more<br />
active but unfortunately, that’s typically not enough to make<br />
it happen. The missing component is often the ‘how’ more<br />
so than the ‘why’, especially when you are dealing with<br />
injuries or chronic disease.<br />
If you ask your family doctor for advice they might deliver you<br />
a copy of the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. The body<br />
behind these guidelines, the Canadian Society for Exercise<br />
Physiology, has recently updated their forms from a single<br />
poster to a broader guidebook (www.csep.ca/en/guidelines)<br />
which provides examples of appropriate activities for a<br />
variety of age groups. The Alberta Primary Care Network<br />
has also created Prescription To Get Active which can be<br />
issued by any physician associated with the network (www.<br />
calgaryareadocs.com). This slip provides access to most City<br />
of Calgary recreational facilities and an increasing number<br />
of other gyms around the city where eager staff are ready to<br />
get you on your way to greater health.<br />
Other resources for exercise advice include physiotherapists,<br />
personal trainers and other qualified fitness professionals.<br />
As with finding a family doctor who you trust with your<br />
life, finding a trainer who you are confident will lead you<br />
to better health can take some research. Quiz your social<br />
network for recommendations then contact the facilities<br />
close to your home and workplace, or the ones that lay<br />
along your commute between the two. Most should offer an<br />
initial consultation without any charge where you can get a<br />
feel for their personality and approach before you commit to<br />
any kind of ongoing relationship.<br />
The health benefits of engaging in regular physical activity<br />
are undeniable. Investing some time putting together a<br />
team of qualified professionals and sound advice to guide<br />
you through the process can lead to even greater success.<br />
Find what works for you and stick at it, the results will soon<br />
follow.<br />

Dear friends,<br />
I hope you have all had<br />
a safe and comfortable<br />
winter. It’s hard to<br />
believe that nearly a<br />
year has passed since I<br />
was elected! As we<br />
move into <strong>April</strong>, I’d like<br />
to deliver you a<br />
friendly reminder that<br />
the deadline to file your individual income<br />

for making sure you are able to access all<br />
of the credits and benefits you might be<br />
eligible for. Even if you have no income to<br />
report, it is still a good idea to file a return,<br />
as you may be eligible for certain benefits.<br />

with any questions or concerns you might<br />
have. Please do not hesitate to contact us at<br />

View from City Hall<br />
Gian-Carlo Carra, Ward 9 Alderman<br />
If you’ve heard me speak you’ve heard my ‘Great<br />
Neighbourhoods’ platform, the five-point plan that guides the<br />
work I do at City Hall and in our communities every day:<br />
1. Transforming Planning to increase vibrancy in our<br />
neighbourhoods<br />
2. Transforming Local Governance enabling citizens<br />
to play meaningful roles in the evolutions of their<br />
neighbourhoods<br />
3. Transforming City Hall to make The City more<br />
responsive to neighbourhood needs<br />
4. Taking Control of our Future by establishing a Big City<br />
Charter<br />
5. Building a City That Pays for Itself<br />
With the change in our City’s economy, my efforts have been<br />
more heavily weighted towards lessening the blow for our<br />
citizens by working to build a city that pays for itself. I have<br />
long advocated that connecting revenue with expenses and<br />
transforming taxation are essential. Here’s an update on some<br />
of what I am working on, and what I have supported within the<br />
last six months:<br />
Supporting and voting for the Off-Site building levy. This<br />
important vote affects future and current Calgarians, as<br />
taxpayers will now recoup 100% of the cost to build new<br />
communities - no longer subsidizing developers.<br />
Supporting the <strong>2016</strong> budget adjustments. This lowered taxes<br />
and provided more funding for infrastructure projects, putting<br />
people to work and stimulating our local economy.<br />
Diversifying our economy and supporting established and new<br />
businesses. I am working to remove provincial and municipal<br />
red tape, encouraging an environment that will create jobs<br />
through commercial and residential development, and within<br />
the service sector. I am doing this through Notice of Motions<br />
regarding the Airport Vicinity Protection Area, commercial and<br />
residential development along the LRT Red Line and Green Line,<br />
and introducing zoning changes to increase opportunities for<br />
businesses that deliver, or choose to deliver, child care services.<br />
Reviewing the property tax assessment process. I’ve heard<br />
primarily from flood-affected homeowners on the Elbow River<br />
about their repeated successful appeals to the Assessment<br />
Review Board since the 2013 flood. I am working to ensure<br />
that the assessment process is fair and uses the best methods<br />
to meet provincial law, while reflecting the realities faced by<br />
property owners.<br />
Through your calls, emails, tweets, and attendance at community<br />
events, your voices are being heard, and I promise to keep acting<br />
on them. Please continue to connect with me and share your<br />
ideas on how we can emerge from this downturn even stronger.<br />
Yours truly,<br />
Gian-Carlo Carra<br />
City of Calgary: Project updates - <strong>12</strong> Street SE Bridge replacement and Zoo Flood Mitigation<br />
Zoo Road and pathway closures starting March 7, <strong>2016</strong><br />
In order to begin construction on the Zoo Flood Mitigation Project<br />
and the <strong>12</strong> Street S.E. Bridge replacement project, Zoo Road will<br />
be closed from the west parking lot opposite the Zoo’s south<br />
entrance to the Baines Bridge. Please see the Zoo Flood Mitigation<br />
Project web page at calgary.ca/zoofloodproject for information on<br />
Zoo Road and pathway closures and detour routes. Zoo Road and<br />
pathway closures will continue until late 2017.<br />
The <strong>12</strong> Street S.E. Bridge will remain open to the Zoo’s<br />
Administration Building during construction. Please see calgary.<br />
ca/<strong>12</strong>stbridge for updates on the <strong>12</strong> Street S.E. Bridge Replacement<br />
project.<br />
Pathways on the north and south side of the river will be closed<br />
during construction of the bridge and the Zoo Flood Mitigation<br />
Project. The primary intention of the pathway closures is to<br />
maintain safety for everyone. There will be construction in the<br />
areas of the closures and large equipment moving in and around<br />
these spaces.<br />
The City also needs to make sure that any impacted pathways<br />
have appropriate detour routes in accordance with City policy and<br />
procedures. The City’s procedure is to detour existing pedestrians<br />
along an adjacent sidewalk and an alternate road for cyclists. The<br />
City cannot detour pathway users along a back lane or across<br />
grass. Pathways are multi-use facilities and the detours must be<br />
appropriate and safe for everyone to use.<br />
Tree Removals - north and south side of river<br />
On the south side of the Bow River and on St. George’s Island,<br />
trees have been removed from City land in order to construct<br />
the bridge in its new alignment and to install the Zoo flood<br />
barrier.<br />
The City has minimized the number of tree removals. The<br />
Inglewood Community Association also provided input to<br />
further reduce the number of trees to be removed.<br />
As is the case in all tree removal situations on City land, the<br />
project is required to provide compensation for any trees<br />
removed.<br />
A dollar value is placed on the removed trees and this amount is<br />
allocated to tree planting in the city. Trees may not be replaced<br />
in the exact same location because the bridge and other<br />
infrastructure will be occupying that space. Tree re-planting is<br />
part of the landscape planning for implementation after the<br />
bridge is complete.<br />
There is also an extensive restoration plan for St. George’s Island,<br />
which will be implemented when both projects are complete.<br />
The City of Calgary is taking cuttings from the poplars removed<br />
during reconstruction and will re-plant them.<br />
The removed trees will be used in flood recovery projects, such<br />
as for fish habitat and for projects in City parks.<br />

Heritage Committee Update: So Long<br />
to the St. George’s Island Bridge<br />
By Manfred Baum<br />
All the recent activity around the St, George’s Island Bridge (also<br />
called the <strong>12</strong>th St or Zoo Bridge) is bringing the stark reality that<br />
our beloved historic bridge will soon be removed and replaced by<br />
a modernistic one.<br />
The bridge’s history is intertwined with three islands in the Bow<br />
River (St. George’s, St. Andrew’s and St. Patrick’s), and Inglewood.<br />
Between 1888 and 1895, the islands were leased to the City by<br />
the federal government. Various attempts were made to connect<br />
them to land by boat or ferry without much success. In 1895, on<br />
the suggestion of William Pearce, the islands were donated to<br />
the City for park use on a condition. The condition was to build<br />
a bridge to connect the islands to land. This condition was met in<br />
1908 when the St. George’s Island Bridge was completed.<br />
The bridge is a Parker Camelback through-truss bridge which is<br />
one of four in the City. The steel apparently came from an easternbased<br />
Canadian company, Algoma Steel Bridge Company. In fact,<br />
the Algoma sign was on the bridge until recently. However, new<br />
research has discovered that some of the steel may have come<br />
from an American company. The bridge is a single truss. Similar to<br />
the current bridge, there was a long approach but it was primarily<br />
made of wood. Looking at the Bow River now, one wonders<br />
why the bridge was a single truss with a very long approach. The<br />
simple reason was that the single truss covered the water at the<br />
time. Land covered the area from the bank to the steel bridge.<br />
With the development of the bridge, the islands became a popular<br />
leisure site. One of the first major structures on St. George’s<br />
Island was a bandstand from 19<strong>12</strong>-1949. A collection of animals<br />
started to be kept on the island resulting in the Calgary Zoological<br />
Society in 1929 bringing even more people over the bridge.<br />
Changes were done over time to make the bridge better for<br />
the increased traffic and age. In 1972/1973, the Bow River was<br />
widened on the south bank for flood mitigation. This resulted in<br />
the current concrete approach. About a decade ago, the bridge<br />
was upgraded for the last time. After the 2013 flood, the historic<br />
bridge was deemed unsafe and the City decided that it along<br />
with the Ninth Avenue Bridge should be replaced.<br />
The bridge will remain open for local island traffic for some of<br />
the time while the new one is being built. By the end of December<br />
next year, the new bridge will be open and the old one<br />
will be removed. Sadly, none of the historic elements of the old<br />
bridge will be added to the new one, either real or faux. There is<br />
a continuing discussion between the community and the City on<br />
these concerns. Hopefully, some elements will be added and the<br />
new bridge will have a great gateway into Inglewood. I will definitely<br />
miss the old bridge that I walked across for many years.<br />
