    Connecting the Dots: A Guide to Using Ecological Connectivity Modelling in Municipal Planning
    (Miistakis Institute, 2016-11) Greenaway, Guy
    The goal of this guide, and its companion technical guide1, is to clear some of the cloudiness. The technical guide (Pulling the Levers) outlines how the science can be used to give municipalities map-based illustrations of ecological connectivity. This guide (Connecting the Dots), outlines how planners can acquire and use that information to address planning questions, working in partnership with their GIS colleagues and local biologists.

    CRP Ecological Conservation and Protection Initiative: Summary
    (Miistakis Institute, 2017-02) Greenaway, Guy
    In the spring of 2014, the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP) approached the Miistakis Institute to provide support with the implementation of Principle 1. The upshot of this collaboration was the initiation in spring of 2015 of the Ecological Conservation and Protection Initiative. This research and planning project was undertaken by the Miistakis Institute, overseen by Calgary Regional Partnership staff, vetted at each stage by the CRP’s Calgary Metropolitan Plan and Regional Servicing Steering Committee, and ultimately approved by the CRP’s Executive Committee.

    CRP EcoPlan Strategies Catalogue: Summary description
    (Miistakis Institute, 2017-02) Greenaway, Guy
    The CRP Regional EcoPlan is a key component of the CRP Ecological Conservation and Protection Initiative. The EcoPlan is the implementation plan for the Calgary Metropolitan Plan’s Principle 1: “Protecting the natural environment and watershed.” The intent of the EcoPlan is to guide measurable action toward achieving the CMP’s Principle 1. It does so by identifying conservation and protection themes, and several measurable sub-themes. For each sub-theme, targets will be collectively identified by the Calgary Regional Partnership member municipalities, which will require both individual municipal action as well as coordinated action as a region.

    CRP Regional EcoPlan Themes - DETAILED
    (Miistakis Institute, 2016-10) Greenaway, Guy
    The Landscape Health theme centres on the conservation and protection of landscape-scale features which likewise support ecological processes at the landscape scale. This includes connectivity zones, escarpments and ridges, and large patches of natural vegetation.

    CRP Regional EcoPlan: A Summary of the Ecological Conservation and Protection Plan
    (Miistakis Institute, 2017-02) Greenaway, Guy
    The intent, therefore, of the CRP Regional EcoPlan is to outline how the region’s valued ecological features and functions can be maintained, and to do so by identifying measurable targets, describing specific actions that can be taken by the CRP and its members at both the regional and local level, and by integrating directly with the Calgary Metropolitan Plan.

    Human Footprint Intensity Mapping: A tool for tracking human footprint change in the Calgary Region
    (Miistakis Institute, 2017-02) Chernoff, Gregg; Greenaway, Guy
    The Human Footprint Comparison project was the primary effort under the Ecological Data Update. The intent was to create a spatially-explicit representation of the land use and natural features in the Calgary Region around a set of pre-determined themes. The Human Footprint Comparison focused on the goal of showing the changes in human use and development on the landscape between the first Calgary Metropolitan Plan (2009) and the second (2014). The intent was not to assess the “good” or the “bad” of that hange, but simply give the CRP and its members a databased picture of how and where development occurred between the two plans which could then be compared to the goals that had been set out in the plans.

    Proposed Target-setting Process for the CRP Regional EcoPlan
    (Miistakis Institute, 2017-02) Greenaway, Guy
    Development of the Calgary Regional Partnership Ecological Conservation and Protection Plan (or CRP Regional EcoPlan) began in the spring of 2015. The purpose of the EcoPlan was to create an “implementation” plan for the Calgary Metropolitan Plan’s (CMP’s) first principle: Protecting the natural environment and watershed. High-level goals for this were articulated in the CMP, but the EcoPlan was conceived to be a practical, measurable plan for the on-going protection of the ecological features and functions on which the citizens of the Calgary Region depend for their physical, economic and social well-being.
