CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canada, already deeply concerned about security at the G8 summit it will host next year, plans to beef up air defenses above the remote mountain site to protect against any terrorist threat, the event's top organizer said on Wednesday. Last summer, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien picked the isolated Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis Village, Alberta, to host the June summit of the world's eight wealthiest countries, partly to keep major demonstrations at bay in the wake of violent protests at similar events.
However, security concerns have grown exponentially in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, forcing increased military involvement, said Robert Fowler, Chretien's personal representative for the top-level meeting.
"We are now having to envisage the reality of a whole bunch of threats that were not evident before Sept. 11. Those threats obviously include threats from the air," Fowler told reporters after speaking to a Calgary business audience.
"I think it's fair to say that not many of past meetings of this kind have spent time worrying about airborne threats."
Fowler stressed, however, that the Group of Eight summit of the leaders of the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Russia, was going ahead as scheduled for June 25-28, 2002, despite the new concerns.
Kananaskis Village, a picturesque alpine resort with just 400 hotel rooms, is located 50 miles (80 kms) west of the oil-industry city of Calgary, Alberta.
Rich in wildlife and accessible by just one paved highway, it is surrounded by 1,545 square miles (4,000 square kms) of mountainous terrain.
Besides security concerns, Chretien chose the site to force a smaller summit with far fewer delegates than the hundreds that descended on the last meeting in Genoa, Italy, last July.
The more compact meeting should give the leaders more time to discuss the world's faltering economy, the fight against terrorism and economic development for Africa, Fowler said.
Before Sept. 11, the bulk of the security was to be handled by a joint force comprising the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Calgary Police Service. However, the increased need to "secure the air envelope" above Kananaskis means a much larger military role, Fowler said.
The city of Calgary, home to about 900,000 people, had feared it could get stuck with a huge bill for beefing up security in town, where delegates, a throng of media and possibly numerous anti-globalization activists, will descend.
But on Tuesday, solicitor general Lawrence MacAuley announced Ottawa would reimburse the city and the province of Alberta for extra security costs that could run into the tens of millions of dollars.
Fowler said he could not put a price on added security, pointing out the tab for last April's Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, where protesters clashed with riot police, had yet to be finalized.
Calgary has asked for C$20 million ($13 million) in federal money by the end of this month as it plans for the summit and amid new concerns following the attacks on New York and Washington.
"When we initially started planning for G8, we were dealing with, of course, anarchists and protesters. Now as of Sept. 11, added to that mix is terrorism," Calgary police chief Jack Beaton said. "That adds a whole new dimension to public security and safety."

Dear friend, what I like
Most about you is
How loving you are;
I don't know if this word
Is enough to say
What I have in mind about you,
But what I mean is
You are super caring,
And patient and selfless;
And I find it simply amazing;
I feel lifted in spirits
To a very high level.
It's comforting to know
The world has some
Very good people like you;
How rewarding it can be
To invest time and energy
To seek as many of them
As possible,
And bring them together
To work as a team
For an excellent world.
The marvels they will do
Will amaze you.
Are you ready for such work?
Amazing people
Dear friend, what I like

28 Sep Irregardless Cafe's Journey with Sustainability
Irregardless has been leading the pack in sustainability since we opened in 1975. Chef Arthur and his wife Anya, our founders, have been adamant about running a sustainable business the whole time. It all began with a recycling program. In the 1980s, recycling pickups were not common like they are today; they were actually scarce or unheard of, especially in residential areas. Jon Bograd, now the restaurant's General Manager, was the founder of our recycling program. He began simple – picking up the cardboard and glass bottles and taking them to a drop center.
This was not exactly a profitable or enjoyable activity, but he says, "we cared about the way things were disposed of and how we use things". He also recalled that, "Arthur was all for recycling, even back then, and recycling was an idea that no one caught onto yet. The process of recycling didn't involve much, but it required the people participating here to think twice about throwing something away. He asked the employees to do it and they did". It's hard to imagine the sheer volume of glass and cardboard we have prevented from being dumped into nearby rivers or landfills in the past 43 years. It just goes to show that a little bit of effort can make a lot of difference when it comes to taking care of the world around us. Other measures have also been taken within our restaurant to limit waste, including switching to biodegradable straws.
The environmental efforts did not stop there. In 2012, Arthur and Anya partnered with other families in purchasing 1321 Athens Dr, a plot of land originally distributed by the government to freed slaves – the Jones family. After purchasing this land from their descendants, a well was discovered on the garden – remnants of the farm that had once been there, hence its present name, The Well Fed Community Garden. Today, the residents of the property are employees of Irregardless and participate in organic farming practices. Eighty percent of the crop goes into dishes at the restaurant or in our catering division, and the rest is donated to volunteers and neighbors. By creating our own, local source of responsibly-farmed produce, our carbon footprint is drastically reduced due to short transportation routes and the absence of harsh chemicals. The farm also composts their waste to use as fertilizer and takes care of chickens and honeybees, further contributing to environmental health and supporting local ecosystems.
Whether you consume animal products or not, committing to a diet of natural, minimally processed, responsibly sourced foods is beneficial to both you and the planet. We have made it our mission to provide that for our customers.

The province has established a community roundtable on anti-racism to strengthen the K-12 curriculum.

BC establishes anti-racism community roundtable
Published 11:31 PDT, Fri July 24, 2020
A new community roundtable on anti-racism in education has been created to support the development of an anti-racism action plan. The roundtable will strengthen BC's K–12 curriculum, ensuring the culture, beliefs and ancestry of all students and staff are accepted, celebrated and understood.
"There is no place for racism, discrimination or intolerance in British Columbia—in our schools or anywhere else," said Premier John Horgan. "We are bringing important voices to the table to help us bolster culture-based learning in the education system and build a better and more inclusive future for BC."
Education Minister Rob Fleming, has brought together community leaders from a wide range of groups to better understand the impact of racism on BC students and provide input into strengthening and developing new policies and programs that promote anti-racism. The roundtable held its first meeting today, and will continue to meet as the action plan is developed.
"Now is the time to listen, learn, engage and act," Fleming said. "We are committed to working with community and education partners to build a meaningful and lasting anti-racism action plan to ensure schools are safe and welcoming places where diversity is celebrated."
This is the first in a series of conversations to guide the ministry and BC education partners in understanding barriers faced by Indigenous students and students of colour. Fleming has asked the First Nations Leadership Council, the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Métis Nation BC to help set up a distinct Indigenous table and co-develop its approach. A new student advisory group will also be formed in the fall to hear directly from students on their experiences.
The community roundtable on anti-racism in education builds on a series of community dialogues led by Ravi Kahlon, former parliamentary secretary for sport and multiculturalism, last summer. The feedback from these meetings informed the development of Resilience BC, a provincewide anti-racism network announced in November 2019.
The network connects communities with the information, supports and training they need to respond to and prevent future incidents of racism and hate at a local and regional level. Resilience BC is being established in 40 communities.
