Alberta businesses need stability and consistency in government spending and taxes to encourage investment. Delaying infrastructure projects and raising non-residential property taxes could deter investment and limit economic growth. The document recommends restoring the contingency fund, disciplined spending, and building up the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund to provide stability for businesses.

Competencia y fútbol
Este documento compara las perspectivas de los niños y adultos sobre el fútbol. Explica que para los niños, el fútbol es principalmente un juego divertido, mientras que para los adultos se trata más de competencia, entrenamiento y ganar. También destaca la importancia de desarrollar en los niños habilidades técnicas, físicas, tácticas y psicológicas de manera integral y a través de actividades lúdicas con balón.
City Charters Presentation - Oct 2016
The Government of Alberta, the City of Edmonton and the City of Calgary are working to create city charter policies to build strong, vibrant cities that attract trade and investment. Learn more: http://www.alberta.ca/city-charters.aspx
Remembering the Heroes
Alberta Health Services staff volunteered at emergency fund disbursement centres to help southern Alberta flood victims access financial support and supplies like water. Staff helped with tasks like sorting donations and ensuring people had food and drinks while waiting. Animal rescue was also a priority during this difficult time. Transportation and environment staff inspected infrastructure damage and coordinated reconstruction efforts. Health services played an integral role on the front lines, setting up field hospitals and helping with clean-up efforts in impacted communities.
Watershed management along the Colorado River - Michael Gabaldon
Michael is an Associate Vice-President with AECOM and a presenter at Alberta’s Watershed Management Symposium: Flood and Drought Mitigation. Using the Colorado River and recent flood events in the State of Colorado as backdrops, Michael talked about bringing diverse stakeholders together to create an effective total watershed management plan.
Mountain creek hazards and risks in the Canmore area - Dr. Matthias Jakob
Dr. Jakob, Senior Geoscientist with BCG Engineering, presented at Alberta’s Watershed Management Symposium: Flood and Drought Mitigation. Triggered by a series of damaging debris floods in the Bow River Valley in June 2013, Dr. Jakob explained how ongoing hazard and risk assessments for steep mountain creeks in Alberta will be used to mitigate the risk posed by debris floods in the future.
Flood forecasting methodology in Alberta - Evan Friesenhan
Evan, Acting Director of River Forecasting with Alberta Environment and Sustainable, presented at Alberta’s Watershed Management Symposium: Flood and Drought Mitigation. He explained Alberta’s approach to river forecasting, warning systems, and tools and resources to keep the public informed.
Flood and drought mitigation - Matt Machielse
Matt, Assistant Deputy Minister with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development presented at Alberta’s Watershed Management Symposium: Flood and Drought Mitigation. He explained key findings from the Government of Alberta’s flood mitigation engineering studies are presented, along with next steps for major flood mitigation projects.
Mitigation Symposium - Richard Lindseth
The Community Flood Mitigation Advisory Panel examined leading flood prevention practices and innovative mitigation solutions. They recommend a water system for the Elbow and Highwood River basins combining dry pond detention berms and diversion channels. This includes 3 headwater berms, 2 foothills berms, and 2 diversion channels to protect urban centers. The estimated cost is $660-830 million and could significantly reduce flooding if a similar event to 2013 or 2005 were to occur again. Timely approvals and construction are needed to implement this crucial part of Alberta's flood mitigation system.

Christopher Skappak - Economic Summit
Graduate student Christopher Skappak speaks about using savings and investments to fund and diversify Alberta's economy.
Cliff Inskip - Economic Summit
Cliff Inskip with CIBC World Markets presents why the Government of Alberta should consider alternative ways to fund major infrastructure projects.
Stuart Landon -- Alberta Economic Summit
This document discusses rationales for saving resource revenues, including stabilization of expenditures and intergenerational equity. It also poses several questions about how to determine an optimal savings strategy, including how much to save, whether separate savings and stabilization funds are needed, how large the fund should be, whether to set nominal or percentage-based savings targets, and how invested funds can be used while still meeting savings objectives. The document suggests that saving a portion of volatile resource revenues can help stabilize government spending over time in a way that benefits both current and future generations.
Mitigation Symposium - Barrie Brand
The document discusses the importance of personal emergency preparedness. It notes several past emergencies in Alberta like floods and fires that have impacted thousands of residents and underscores that even smaller events can displace people from their homes. The document recommends having a 72-hour emergency kit and outlines the basic contents it should include, like water, food, flashlight, radio, cash and toiletries. It also stresses the importance of having an emergency plan and practicing it with your family, being informed of risks in your local area, and staying updated during emergencies through official alerts and media. Being prepared at a personal level is crucial as it only takes one household being impacted to demonstrate the importance of emergency planning.
Mitigation Symposium - Kim Sturgess
The document summarizes recommendations from a symposium on mitigating future floods in Alberta following the 2013 floods. The key recommendations are:
1. Anticipate and plan for more extreme weather by improving modeling of scenarios, understanding how development impacts flooding, and determining potential economic losses.
2. Improve operational capacity through better modeling, data management, and predictive capacity to understand flooding and drought risks.
3. Investigate physical infrastructure like dams and natural infrastructure like wetlands to reduce flooding in a cost-effective way. Consider multi-purpose storage and detention.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
