JAMIE POST
There is a mass of policies and strategies that arewritten, approved, maintained and amended toguide and manage a city like Edmonton. In mytime as a community volunteer, I've read throughpolicies for Transit Oriented Development, publicinvolvement, and neighborhood infill, for recre-ational facility planning, top of (river) bank development, and community revitalization.Plans, policies and strategies exist for prettymuch everything, and while mostly well worded,can be a mixed-bag when ideas and directionbecome out-of-date, vaguely defined, or craftedwithout sufficient input and broader involvement.
The top-level guiding policy and principles forEdmonton is the City Vision, “The Way Ahead:Edmonton's Strategic Plan 2009-2018”. Theplan's long-term goals are broken into six strategic areas:
and advocating. It is well written, with the best ofintentions, but a broad outline of goals and idealsis almost a world removed from the reality ofschool closures, aging infrastructure, and dwin-dling community involvement and voter turnout.This is where implementation of the City Visionneeds specific strategies, tools and political will tobuild, sustain, and revitalize communities fromdowntown to the city limits. We need somethingfor residents, volunteers, and community groupsto rely upon and specific strategies and commit-ments for the City, Administration and Electedofficials to stand behind.
The Way We Live defines a number of “strate-gic policy directions” such as - The City of
Edmonton partners with community leagues,school boards, and other organizations to buildcommunity. It builds, revitalizes and sustainsGreat Neighborhoods, provides and promotesinnovative methods to reduce barriers to partici-pation and engages citizens in local government. Implementation needs to make these tangible tous, it needs to help turn broad goals into real action and decision making that benefits usand the places we call home. Planning &Development, Public Involvement, NeighborhoodRevitalization, Infrastructure Renewal,Enforcement, Partnerships - there's a lot that cango into this. In April, we'll talk specifics, startingwith some lessons for Edmonton from anothercity's “West LRT”.
Environmental Strategic Plan: The Way We Green
Edmonton's People Plan: The Way We Live
Municipal Development Plan: The Way We Grow
Transportation Master Plan: The Way We Move
Long-term Financial Strategy: The Way We Finance
Economic Development Plan: The Way We Prosper
It's frustrating when good ideas put to paperaren't reflected in decision making. We've seen itin our own backyard when the goals of neighbor-hood revitalization aren't mirrored in a decision byCity Council or the Subdivision and DevelopmentAppeal Board. While the City Vision defines laud-able goals and directions, it is implementationthat takes us from paper to practice, goals todecision making, policy to statutory plans.
The SPURR doesn't exist without community,without a population to serve and connect. Thesame goes for a city. For us, the residents of thiscity, the People Plan“The Way We Live” doescover ground. It acknowledges the importance ofmunicipal government to our day-to-day lives, itacknowledges that our population is aging, theimportance of people services, programs, andfacilities, of connecting people, communicating,

JPR UPDATEdesigner and an organizer with the Edmonton PermacultureCommunity Association. Megan isplanning a very fun, dynamic andeducational workshop. She is invit-ing everyone to participate in a potluck following the workshop with awonderful video on Permaculture.
The workshop is open to peoplefrom ages 16 - 99. Early-birdfee is $35 before March 20 and$60 after March 20. A fee sub-sidy is available. All proceedswill go towards the Stony PlainBRZ's future Holistic UrbanMarket. E-mail: [email protected] register; please see thePermaculture Ad accompanyingthis article.
Megan Wilson, “What isPermaculture”?Most of us want to live our lives ina way that feeds us, shelters us,keeps us healthy, and provides uswith a sense of contributing to theworld around us. It's getting moreand more difficult every year toachieve that. Rising food and fuelcosts, a shaky economy, and foodsafety scares are only the localeffects of global problems that areeven harder to grasp, much lessdo anything about. It's easy to getoverwhelmed and imagine thatthere's nothing to be done aboutany of those problems withoutsacrificing your own well-beingand way of life.
I'm here to tell you that that's notthe case. Permaculture providessolutions to some of the world's(and your neighbourhoods) mostcomplex problems in your ownbackyard through smart designand local action. Let me explain.
Permaculture is a system ofdesign which builds sustainablesystems to support human life(and all other kinds too). The word'sustainable' has been used somuch lately in so many contextsthat I'd like to provide my own def-inition: a sustainable system pro-duces at least as much energy asit consumes over its lifetime. Thisis in direct opposition to our cur-rent way of living, which requireshuge inputs of fossil fuel energy inorder to operate. For example,between farming equipment,chemical fertilizers and pesticides,processing, and transportation,each calorie of food energy thatenters your mouth requires aboutten calories of fossil fuel energy tobring to your lips.
If you take this example to a larger scale and look at it from theother side, if every U.S. citizen ate one meal a week consisting entirely of local organically grown food, it wouldsave 1.1 million barrels of oil everyweek! And before you protest thatlocal organic food is expensive, let me point out that there is nothing cheaper or more local than your own backyard.
Permaculture allows us to designfood-producing systems in smallareas that require little mainte-nance, so that nearly anyone canproduce at least some food withinmeters of their door. Producingsome of your own food has manybenefits. Firstly, you know exactlywhere it comes from and how it'sbeen treated - no pesticideresidues or bacterial hazards. Thereare also many health benefits tospending time being active outside,not to mention the social benefitsto your neighbourhood and yourselfof having more people out andabout on a regular basis.Conversations over the fence aboutyour yard are a great way to meetyour neighbours.
I can't emphasize enough the difference in flavour and nutritionthat you will find between toma-toes and carrots that have beenshipped in a refrigerated truckfor thousands of kilometers andthose that you have picked freshfrom your own backyard.
If you want to learn more abouthow to design a system that canfeed you healthy local food (whilesaving you money), why not join meat the Introduction to Permacultureworkshop on April 2nd!

New hospital beds reduce Emergency Department pressures, add capacity
Alberta Health Services is on track to complete its plan to open 360 new beds in Calgary and Edmonton before March 31, 2011 to help relieve pressures onemergency departments and improve access to care. Two thirds, or 239, of thesenew beds have been open since April 2010.
These beds include transition unit beds, hospice beds, medical assessment units,detoxification and mental health beds. This increased capacity is part of a largerstrategy to reduce pressures in emergency departments and improve accessacross the health care system.
New transition units are located in several Alberta hospitals, including the FoothillsMedical Centre and the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, and serve a need for patients who no longer require acute care, but are awaiting placement in a continuing care facility.
These beds also act as a stepping stone to continuing care. On the new transitionunits, nurses are supported by physical, occupational and recreation therapistswho keep patients physically, socially and emotionally engaged. Opening thesenew beds also frees up inpatient hospital beds for patients waiting for admissionfrom emergency departments, easing pressure across the system.
In addition to these 360 beds, there have been 502 new continuing care bedsopened in Edmonton and Calgary since April 2010.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planningand delivering health supports and services for more than 3.7 million adults andchildren living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality healthsystem that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Happy Gardening.

It is March in Edmonton, and timeto get ready for the growing sea-son. The most important tool inthe shed is the gardener, andoften the most neglected. Weneed our bodies in tune beforehitting the dirt, so to speak.
I have been taking a beginner'syoga class since September, andfeel much better doing so. Myyoga instructor, Barb, is very knowl-edgable and patient in instructingme on the proper techniques andposes. Every Wednesday nightfrom 7:30 until 9 p.m. at the JewishCommunity Centre is where youcan find me and my girlfriend,Trudy. The cost is really reasonable(most cost-effective I have found),
