A key part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, the Film and Television Tax Credit is attracting major productions to the province, diversifying the economy and creating thousands of new jobs.
Since the program’s launch in January 2020, it has attracted 50 productions to Alberta with total production costs of $955 million, creating 9,000 new direct and indirect jobs in the province.
In March 2021, Alberta’s government removed the $10-million per-project cap from the Film and Television Tax Credit to make the province an even more desirable location for larger productions.
Cameras are rolling on film and television productions across Alberta, injecting hundreds of millions of dollars in investment into the economy as these productions hire local crews, actors and extras, and use local businesses.
The Film and Television Tax Credit, combined with Alberta’s competitive tax environment, affordable labour costs and breathtaking scenery, has made the province a prime choice for medium and big-budget television and film projects that have a positive impact on Alberta’s economy.
HBO is currently filming its new television series The Last of Us in Alberta. The project is the single largest television series production in Canadian history and is expected to create thousands of jobs.
“The boom in our film industry is the perfect example of Alberta’s Recovery Plan in action. Thanks to the Film and Television Tax Credit, and our recent improvements to it, we are witnessing a new billion-dollar industry take shape right before our eyes, further diversifying the economy and creating new jobs.” said Premier Jason Kenney during a news conference in Calgary on Tuesday, August 3, 2021.

Diversified livelihoods such as beekeeping can help improve the income of rural communities. Apart from producing honey to sell to market, beekeeping helps promote conservation of the natural environment, which many poor communities depend on for food and energy
UNDP’s Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, including a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business.

Text story:
_________
For Karima, one of the happiest moments of her life was when she earned her first thousand Afghani (US$ 15), when she sold a kilo of honey made from her own bee-keeping business. It may seem like a small amount, but for Karima, it was life changing!
Karima is a housewife and a mother of four. Her husband could barely feed the family from the work he could get, so Karima’s contribution to the household income was significant.
She has seen a lot in her life. She still remembers the agony and frustration when they had no money and their son was sick. As tears well in her eyes, she relates, “We were not able to buy him medicine. We couldn’t do anything but cry and wait for him to either die or recover by himself.”
Her husband, Khalil, who was very fond of honey, tried his hand at beekeeping before, but because he didn’t know how to maintain his beehives, his bees all died.
But, Karima and Khalil did not give up. They decided to seek help from the Directorate of Agriculture in Herat city.
UNDP’s Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, and, crucially, a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries

Tim showing that he can diversify from just being a butchers shop, hot beef butties, pies etc went down a treat at this years band contest.
Often described as 'The Greatest Free Show on Earth', the Saddleworth & District Whit Friday Brass Band Contests take place every year on the afternoon and evening of Whit Friday , this year the 17th June in 2011 was no exception and the weather in the main was kind.
From the earliest recorded contest in 1884, the event has grown in popularity. Last year well over a hundred brass bands participated in some twenty different contests at venues scattered around the moorland villages and towns on the western edge of the Pennines. All of the contests are open-air, many in delightful surroundings. The area has a very strong tradition of brass band music. In the weeks before Whit Friday, the sounds of rehearsals echo across the hillsides from the various band rooms and village halls. There are thriving bands in some of the tiniest villages. And the best bands are world class.

The external economic situation has been mixed, and uncertainty remains. That means we must remain vigilant and continue to put BC on solid economic footing to weather any downturns.
We have to create a healthy economic profile, balance spending with debt repayment and diversify our industries and export partners.

The wheel was invented over 5000 years ago, but until the steam locomotive came along, a mere 150 years later, wagons and carts were the only use for transportation..
Small carriages were popularized during the 18th and 19th centuries, then wagon construction became diversified and individualistic..
Wagons and carriages were built for every conceivable purpose, for every age group, and in numerous designs and styles. They were used to tour, relocate, travel, advertise, and transport freight. Basically, there were two general types of wagons: passenger vehicles which transported people, and delivery wagons which transported things. The construction of both types of wagons was fairly simple. The bodies of wagons and carts were made of wood. Axles, springs, brakes, and various decorative embellishments were made of metal. Most passenger vehicles had upholstered seats, while delivery wagons had wood benches. There were two basic parts to wagons in carriages: the underside, which included the axles, springs, wheels, brake system, and what was known as the gearing, and the body. Wagons were classified and identified by the various styles of those two major elements of construction. Each wagon was built individually so alterations to body shape and gearing design were easily made from wagon to wagon; explaining, in part, the great variety wide as and carts that existed at the turn of the century. .
.
Private passenger vehicles were classified as buggies, although often they were called roundabouts, road wagons, or driving wagons. Most passenger wagons were of the Phaeton class meaning that they were owner driven, with simple, primitive, and plain designs. Two examples of this step a lag in our the Piano Box Buggy designed in 1882 and the Coal Box Body from 1902. They were both small, and two seeded common one horse carriages. These bodies would typically have a black body, ride or dark green room running gear, and dark blue or dark green cloth trim. The two bodies different a shape of the body. Where's the Piano Box Buggy is square and box-like, the Coal Box Buggy body slopes gently at the back.
.
People were not the only thing wagons carried. A second general category of wagon was the delivery wagon, which transported goods. Freight wagons were generally larger than passenger vehicles, and they were built to carry heavy loads. The suspension portion of these wagons was stronger and was designed to handle the demanding weight of machinery, 500 gallons of kerosene, full grown trees, furniture, or whenever product was being transported. Sitting in delivery wagons was limited to one or two spots on a wood bench, not at all like the comparative luxury of the passenger vehicle. Another distinctive feature of the delivery wagon was the body style. Nearly every product, service, and profession had its own body design. Most of the styles were created to meet specific needs..
The Republic Furniture Moving Company Dray is an example of a wagon designed to meet specific needs. It was made with a box body which was useful for moving furniture. The wheel arrangement enabled freight to hang over the sides of the wagon if necessary. A basic design of the wagon made it capable of caring other types of freight besides furniture..
A second example of a custom designed wagon is the Carnation Milk Wagon. It was designed to keep milk fresh during delivery. Enclosed body, exemplifying the milk wagon design, maintained a call temperature inside the wagon, and protected the products from wind and rain. The gearing on this type of wagon was typical of freight wagons in general, and include side and cross platform springs and the "fifth wheel". The two distinctive elements of the wagon, sheet metal sidings and pneumatic tires, indicate that this wagon was built in the 20th century..
Wagon makers could design each wagon to have differentiated features, which created great freedom and individualization in the making of horse-drawn vehicles. An example that illustrates this is the Milk Wagon No. 26. It is not of the traditional enclosed style like the Carnation Milk Wagon, but it is more similar to a dray. It was also made a completely different materials. This, in addition to some research, indicates that it could have been a wagon with a totally different purpose, perhaps a railroad delivery wagon. Cross platform springs and the "fifth wheel", as well as the design of the wagons body, indicate that this was definitely used in freight service, whether that may have been delivering railroad supplies or cans of milk..
Some wagons were not made for as specific a purpose. For example the Platform Spring Wagon was a general use delivery wagon suited for small jobs and hauling light freight. This particular wagon was used by the Southern California Gas Company to pick up and deliver gas meters. Distinctive to the platform spring wagon are the Studebaker Wood-Hound gearing and the smaller box-style body.

This is my habitat. I am a highly developed intelligence, an ungainly bipedal primate of germanic origin whose existence today once depended entirely on the stochastic persistence of a worm-like Cambrian detritovore. 500 million merciless years later, descendant of a primordial ooze, I occupy this ecological niche. Some other poor homonid will soon replace me in this seasonal successional pattern so characteristic of university dormitories. One more week and I will be free!

An inaugural meeting between mentors from four federal government departments in BC and 11 skilled new Canadians marked the start of a ground-breaking mentoring program led by the Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC).
Canadian Heritage, along with Passport Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and Western Economic Diversification Canada are all participating in the first program phase.
Over the next four months, immigrant professionals will work with their Canadian peers to learn about local business practices, increase their understanding of the BC workplace culture, access professional networks, and boost their cross-cultural communication and career-search skills.
Venue provided by Department of Canadian Heritage. Orientations facilitated and supported by Chris Mara and Astarte Sands from Mosaic BC, Laurie Sing from ISSofBC, and representatives from S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:
adHawk: A mobile app that provides a bird’s eye view of all your digital marketing data in one place.
Blazing DB: An SQL database at supercomputer speeds that’s incredibly easy to use.
Edify: Empower every kid in the world to make their own music.
Flytedesk: A platform for buying and selling uncollected media, starting with college newspapers.
HobbyDB: The definitive database for collectors and hobbyists to manage and monetize their collections.
MadKudu: Data science that helps sales and support teams fight customer churn.
Revolar: The world’s smartest personal safety wearable device keeps you safe anytime, anywhere.
Stryd: The world’s first running power meter that helps runners improve their performance.
TRELORA: A commission-free real estate company, replacing percentage-based commissions with one flat fee.
