OFFICE OF THE CAO

Corporate Communications

Summary of Town Events and Promotion The first major project undertaken by Communications was the 2014 State of the Town Address. Mayor William Choy presented a 126 slide Power Point presentation to residents and business owners at the Stony Plain Golf Course on February 11th. A condensed version of this presentation was also given at the Realtors’ Reception, Builders & Developers Reception and at the Young at Heart Senior Luncheon.

After a successful Council Retreat in Westlock January 18-19th the Office of the CAO was able to draft a new Strategic Plan for 2015-2017. This guiding document was passed by Council March 9th. It can be viewed on the Town website and is ready for pickup at Town Hall as well.

In an effort to continue public engagement and transparency between Council, staff and the residents of Stony Plain; Communications implemented a monthly “Coffee with Council.” This gives both residents and Council/staff the opportunity to have casual conversations in a relaxed setting. These were held March 12th at the Stony Plain Public Library and April 14th at Freson Bros.

April 1st kicked off the 2015 Census. Legislative Services is responsible for this project

however, Communications organized all the advertising in both the paper and on social

media along with keeping the website up to date.

Throughout this first quarter of 2015, Communications brought attention through

newspaper ads and social media posts about the three big anniversaries the Town is

Page 5 of 41

anniversary for the Shikaoi twinning, and the 25th anniversary of the mural program in

Stony Plain.

months in conjunction with Public Works…..

Economic Development

Commercial Infill Policy As set out in the Strategic Plan 2014-2017 the Commercial Infill Policy is intended to target commercial vacant lands or underutilized commercial properties to enhance the core of the community. The policy provides a toolkit of incentives to address any barriers the development may encounter such as development permit fees, deferring offsite levies, parking requirements, etc. This is a proactive approach to encourage development in the community. The policy also speaks to the Town’s ongoing transparency. The Commercial Infill Policy has already been utilized to assist with two commercial development projects since being approved by Council at the end of January - a new commercial plaza on 49 Avenue and a new commercial office on 44 Avenue. Realtors Reception - February 5 The Town hosted the annual networking event for members of our local real estate community. The reception is an opportunity update realtors on achievements and upcoming projects around the community that would be of interest to their clients and new residents to Stony Plain. This event is also utilized as an opportunity to gather intelligence regarding what potential residents are saying about Stony Plain. In spite of the downturn in the economy and oil prices, the mood of the local real estate community was very positive about the upcoming year. The reception has been held for the past three years and with 30 members of the real estate community in attendance, the event is gaining momentum and has definitely created a positive rapport with those that are in the business of selling Stony Plain.

Builders & Developers Reception - March 5 The annual builders and developers reception has become an opportunity to connect with the development community, both those that have been in Stony Plain for many years and those that are new to working in the community. The objective is also to connect those in the industry with each other and create opportunities for new projects. The 80 firms and individuals that attend are critical to the future growth of Stony Plain and the Town uses this opportunity to communicate and encourage engagement from this sector. The one formal aspect of the reception is a presentation from the Mayor, providing an update on key achievements and upcoming projects. Tri-Municipal Business & Home Expo - March 27 to 29 The Town hosted a booth at the annual trade show in partnership with the Stony Plain Library. The Town profiled a number of new initiatives including 2015-2017 Strategic Plan, 30th Anniversary of the twinning with Shikaoi, 2015 Census, poverty survey and a number of upcoming events. This year's show was attended by 11,300 people. Many of the visitors that stopped the Town booth were looking for general information and answers to questions. The booths have a display of promotional materials for visitors to pick up and a draw prize.

Cultural Development

Tri-Region Tourism

The ongoing partnership between the Town of Stony Plain, Parkland County, and City

of Spruce Grove to promote the Tri-Municipal region as a tourism destination was

successful in two funding applications to Travel Alberta’s Cooperative Marketing

program. The first was used to rebrand the initiative and create a new map,

informational brochure and website. The second will be utilized throughout 2015 to

market the region through increased social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and

Pinterest, ongoing content addition to the website, and video creation.

Mural Tour Promotional Program

In an effort to broaden the market for the guided mural tour program run through the

Multicultural Heritage Centre a promotional program will be implemented this year. The

first piece of this program is a new marketing rack card promoting the various types of

tours available.

Fire Services

Stony Plain Fire Department (SPFD) had the busiest Q1 on record with 64 responses in

Town and 45 in the County.

Squad 3, our off road wildland firefighting unit was upgraded. This truck is used to

access areas where our larger and heavier firefighting engines cannot reach. The

current 1999 Ford F350 4X4 was replaced with a 2014 Ford F550 4X4, complete with

skid mounted tank and pump system. It was placed into service in March and

Firefighters have been training and becoming familiar with its operation. This was a

joint purchase unit with Parkland County. This truck is expected to serve the

Department for the next fifteen years.

Page 17 of 41

Five new Paid on Call (POC) Firefighters were hired in January 2015 and have been

progressing through their mandatory formal and in house training courses. While they

are still on probation, they have been cleared to respond to calls under supervision.

The new members are fitting in well with our system.

To fill our 2015 full time Firefighter position, an internal job competition was held. The

process included application stage, written exam, physical testing and an interview, was

held. Jon Schultz was the successful candidate and he started in mid-March. Jon

joined SPFD in 2013 as a POC and will be a great addition to our staff.

Bylaw Enforcement The months of January through to March yielded 395 reports generated by either proactive patrols or resident based complaints. The top three complaints stemmed from parking issues, un-shoveled sidewalks and dog and cats at large. In this quarter parking matters generated 108 total files. Un-shoveled sidewalks accounted for 74 files, while 31 dogs and 10 cats at large accounted for a total of 41 files. Agency Collaboration: This quarter our officers assisted the RCMP with traffic collisions, locating individuals for missing persons file as well as participate in Joint Force Operations with the RCMP Capital West Integrated Traffic Unit. Enforcements Services also worked with Planning and Development, Public Works and Town Administration. Provincial Statutes Enforcement Traffic complaints continued to be an issue this quarter and resulted in 160 files and the issuance of 227 citations. The most commonly issued provincial violations were issued for speeding, driver fail to wear seat belt, operation of a motor vehicle without subsisting registration and drive while using/holding hand held communication device. The fine amount reported for the quarter is $28 092.00; however, this number is not complete based on mandatory court appearances for excessive speeds, uninsured vehicles and some bylaw matters for which amounts will be determined at court. Community Service and Education This quarter Enforcement Services was out in the community. Our officers conducted foot patrols and participated in 3 Joint Force Operations with the Stony Plain RCMP and the Capital West Integrated Traffic Unit. The winter season brought hazardous road conditions during which Enforcement Services was on hand to provide traffic control as well as assist in minor collisions around town. The beginning of a new year provided the opportunity for our officers to attend several training courses. During this quarter all of the Enforcement Services Peace Officers successfully completed training and obtained Dangerous Goods Inspector designations from Alberta Transportation. All Enforcement Services Peace Officers also completed Animal Handling training, Active Shooter training and recertified in Defensive Tactics training. Peace Officer Wenmann and Peace Officer Anderson attended Traffic Stop Tactics training course. We are excited to report Peace Officer Montgomery successfully completed the DARE instructor’s course and is now teaching the DARE curriculum to students at Meridian Heights School.

Stony Plain Golf Course

The golf course management has implemented many no cost or low cost initiatives to

offer residents year long access to the facility for a variety of uses. Most recently they

held an Easter egg / golf ball hunt free of charge to families. Approximately 50 residents

came out for the fun despite the cool temperatures.

Participants searched for golf balls scattered on a few areas of the course by

management, then offered Easter chocolate treats! Parents were given brochures

highlighting many of the other resident access offerings at the golf course.

Page 28 of 41

Cross Country Skiing

The golf course has operated cross country [x-ski] trails since 2009. The trails are

groomed and opened as soon as possible each December and remain open as long as

the snow pack allows. A typical x-ski year would be December through 3rd week of

March or almost 4 months.

Winter 2014 saw multiple daily users of the trail systems. This use by a growing number

of active adults in the community coupled with 19 greens requiring winter tarp venting

sees the need for trail grooming and continued course access during winter.

Stony Plain Golf Course was the site of the local special Olympic cross country ski race

in November 2014. The event was cancelled due to poor snow conditions and

unseasonably warm weather. A driving range loop catering to special Olympic use is

slated for 2015.

The winter 2015 trail grooming plan is to try and implement 2 distinct set tracks for

traditional ski styles with a skate style set in the middle. Moderate alterations to current

grooming equipment may be required for this. Trail routing is also expected to include a

jack rabbit [children] loop around the main pond and an east and west loop that can be

combined to offer almost 8km of trails on the golf course.

For more information on community access programs at the golf course go here
