NEW LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY
• Outdated legislation with previous MGA from mid 1990s
• Negotiation of City Charters for the two big cities in Alberta as a chance
• Importance of the environment in an urban context
• Recognition of impact of urban development on the environment
• Important role of two big cities in environmental stewardship
WHAT DOES THE NEW FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
• New municipal purpose to “foster the well-being of the environment”
(MGA section 3)
• No legal definition of “environmental well-being”
• Chance to create our own future and lead other municipalities in the
province

The City of Calgary is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis”. Calgary is
traditional territory of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes: The Blackfoot Nation tribes of Siksika, Piikani, Kainai; the Stoney Nakoda Nation
tribes of Wesley, Bearspaw, Chiniki ; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III, the Inuit, and other urban Indigenous Peoples.
