A majority of Calgarians say they feel less safe now than they did in 2019, according to a recent poll conducted by ThinkHQ Public Affairs. yyc yyccc ThinkHQInc
Fifty-three per cent of Calgarians said they felt less safe than they did pre-pandemic, compared to four per cent who felt safer and 42 per cent who felt about the same.
"You've got almost half saying it's gotten worse over the last few years – but when you have over half saying you know what? I actually feel personally less safe in my own city than I did three years ago, that's a problem." He says the perception of what policy makers are doing is as important as what they're actually doing because public safety is at the top of the list of concerns and perceived responsibilities, particularly for municipal politicians.

Cases up, costs down: feds report $227.1-million in lost revenue, public money and property in 2021-22The federal government wracked up a total of $227.1-million in lost revenue, public money, and public property due to fraud, accidents, or offences in 2021-22, a 30 per cent decrease from the year prior, according to the 2022 Public Accounts. But while the dollar figure attached to losses has dropped, the number of reported cases has risen. For public property, the number of incidents involving theft, loss, damage, or vandalism are overall up 30.4 per cent, with 18,474 incidents reported in 2021-22 compared to 14,164 the year prior. The total value attached, though, has dropped from $109.3-million in 2020-21 to $62.5-million. A notable factor in this change is the fact that the Public Accounts for 2020-21 included costs associated with two fatal accidents in April 2020 and May 2020 that led to the deaths of seven Canadian Armed Forces members and the loss of a CH-148 Cyclone helicopter and a Snowbird plane. The number of cases of lost public money due to an offence, illegal act, or accident more than doubled, from 43,201 in 2020-21 to 120,538. But again, the value attached decreased (by roughly 30.4 per cent), from $179.4-million in 2020-21 to $124.9-million. In terms of lost revenue, however, the trend is flipped: 15 fewer cases of fraud or willful misrepresentation were reported in 2021-22 (at 75 total, compared to 90 the year prior), but the total dollars involved rose from $37.5-million in 2020-21 to $39.7-million. That said, the numbers involving lost or damaged public property are expected to change after The Hill Times flagged odd numbers listed for Natural Resources Canada. Specifically, one case involving a computer, tablet, or laptop was reported, valued at $1; two cases related to informatics, electronic equipment, or other telecommunications were valued at $2; and three cases involving machinery, equipment, furniture, and furnishings were noted, valued at $3. The department has confirmed these numbers are incorrect and said it is working to review and c

Improving Canadian public transit systems through sustainable adoption of emerging technologies and servicesThe Government of Canada’s pledge to invest $14.9-billion in public transit over the next eight years is a unique opportunity for municipalities to improve their public transit systems, while focusing on increasing the user base, decreasing the carbon footprint, and providing equitable and inclusive access. Adopting emerging technologies and services has the potential to achieve these goals in a sustainable manner. On-demand public transit (ODT) is an emerging service that does not follow a fixed route and responds to the spatio-temporal changes in demand by adjusting the fleet size, route, pricing, and vehicle location. In recent years, fixed-price ODT has been successfully adopted to accommodate low ridership densities in several smaller Canadian municipalities, including Innisfil and Belleville in Ontario and Cochrane in Alberta. In some cases, on-demand public transit has shown great promise as a first and last mile access solution. Innisfil’s on-demand public transit is being used for access to the GO Transit regional train and bus network. ODT adopters have reported an improved level of service, increased ridership, and savings on infrastructure and operations cost. Investment from the federal government can encourage public transit agencies in large urban areas, including the Toronto Transit Commission to learn from these early adopters and consider hybrid solutions where the core of the system remains high-frequency fixed-route transit, and low ridership-density neighbourhoods that can be better served with ODT as a first and last mile access mode. For the sustainable adoption of ODT services, there is a strong need to develop open guidelines that Canadian municipalities can use in the planning, design, and operations phases. New passenger-specific key performance indicators need to be developed that consider variables like wait-times, detour-times, vehicle occupancy per kilometre travelled, and greenhouse gases emitted per passenger-kilometre.
