	Calgary, Alberta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calgary is well-known as a destination for winter sports and ecotourism with a number of major mountain resorts near the city and metropolitan area.
		Unlike most cities with a sizable metropolitan area, most of Calgary's suburbs are incorporated into the city proper, with the notable exceptions of the city of Airdrie to the north, Cochrane to the northwest, Strathmore to the east, and the sprawling Springbank district to the west.
		The inner city is, in turn, surrounded by relatively dense and established neighbourhoods such as Rosedale and Mount Pleasant to the north, Bowness and Westgate to the west, Park Hill, South Calgary, Altadore and Killarney to the south, and Forest Lawn/International Avenue to the east.

	Calgary Sun Columnist - Michael Platt: Idea of waste lost on early rising council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But on this morning, Calgary's council hopes to prove the merit of their sizable contingent, as the FCM's annual list of resolutions is debated, then passed or rejected.
		It's not that Calgary aldermen are at the meeting, it's that nearly the entire Calgary council is at the meeting.
		Calgary's city council may be rising early and working as hard as possible, but they still don't get it.

	AFL urges Calgary city council to show some movement on transit strike
		CALGARY — An agreement to end Calgary’s 41-day old transit strike is within reach if city council is willing to show some movement on the key issues of shuttle buses and a wage study for ticketed trades people, says a spokesperson for the Alberta Federation of Labour.
		Unfortunately, the city is still refusing to budge from its demand that shuttle buses make up nine percent of the city’s fleet.
		The city is also refusing to consider a wage study to determine if the mechanics, electricians and other ticketed trades people working for Calgary transit are being paid fairly compared to other trades people in the province.

	Ash v. Director Southern East Slopes and Prairie Regions, ERS, AEP Re: City of Calgary, Rep & Rec.
		The Director and City rightly characterize the Approvals as a considerable improvement over the 1994 approvals, because they are more specific in locations and application techniques, they require a reduction in pesticide use near open water and, through the IPM approach, they allow the use of pesticides only "when necessary".
		The City listed "hand pulling," "hand removal," "mechanical control," and "mechanical removal" in response to the same question on the application form with respect to the City's request to use pesticides to control several other target plants.
		The Board believes that giving the City discretion is appropriate, as long as there are clear, rational criteria for the City to exercise its discretion on a site-by-site basis, and there is a mechanism for the public and the Director to ensure that the City's ad hoc pesticide use decisions are consistent with these criteria.

	CRFA - Issues - Calgary defers changes to smoking bylaw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		An intensive lobby by CRFA and other hospitality industry associations paid off on May 6th when Calgary City Council voted to delay proposed amendments to the city's smoking bylaw until Sept. 30, 2002.
		Calgary bar and restaurant operators were outraged to learn that the city's Bylaw Implementation Committee was seeking Council approval - without public input or debate - of a series of "principles" that would dramatically change the existing bylaw to the detriment of bar and restaurant operators.
		It was only last October, after public consultations and debate, that Calgary City Council scrapped a proposed, partial smoking ban, which would have left operators with only the costly option of installing a separately ventilated DSR that could occupy no more than 25% of customer service space.

	Vote to keep ambulance service under city control Calgary EMS an “exemplary service” that other cities emulate ...
		CALGARY — City Council should vote on Monday, Nov. 22, to keep its emergency medical services (EMS) under municipal control and not move it to the regional health authority, Calgary Paramedics urged today.
		Calgary EMS is widely recognized as an exemplary service, leading other cities to study it as a model, including Ottawa, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton.
