The Effects of the Division of the City of Lloydminster by the Alberta-Saskatchewan Inter-Provincial Boundary
The paper traces the effects of the superimposed inter-provincial boundary line on the development of Lloydminster. Duplication of public services, and other difficulties encouraged early efforts to amalgamate the community under one jurisdiction. This was accomplished in 1930 and the city is operated under special legislation which is called the « Lloydminster Charter ». Inherent inefficiencies still remain for civic government as well as disadv…
Canadian Northern Settlements
Canadian northern settlements
The objective of this paper is to examine the evolution of settlement in northern Canada from the viewpoint of the paradigms of bottom‐up or top‐down development, the former being community driven and the latter government initiated. Following a review of the stages of settlement evolution and the major influences on them including the airplane and the Second World War, the Scone Report's characterization of settlements as developed or underdevel…
Perceived quality of life in a centre-periphery framework
Edmonton's Wholesale Relationships With Northwest Canada
The paper addresses conceptual propositions by Burghardt on gateway cities and by Vance on wholesaling. Two objectives were sought: to measure the gateway role of Edmonton using wholesaler linkages; and to ascertain if Edmonton is still the unravelling point for distribution to northern markets. Evidence from a 1975 survey of the structure and linkages of the wholesaling industry in Edmonton and in northern communities proved that the city remain…
The spread effect of a spontaneous growth centre
Ironside R. G. and Williams A. C. (1980) The spread effect of a spontaneous growth centre: commuter expenditure patterns in the Edmonton metropolitan region, Canada, Reg. Studies 14, 313–332. Using a behavioural approach, this paper examines the notion that the journey to work is potentially an important spread mechanism as commuters may transfer earned income from a growth centre to satellite communities. thus generating further economic activit…
The Incidence Multiplier Impact of a Regional Development Programme
T he main objectives of the study were to measure and evaluate the impact of the Lesser Slave Lake Special Area Programme (Figure 1) on income and employment in north‐central Alberta. The programme was administered jointly by the federal Department of Regional Economic Expansion ( dree ) and the Government of Alberta. Two aspects of the impact were considered: (1) the aggregate income and employment multiplier effects of the programme, and (2) th…
