The goal of the Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) is to provide an assessment of Mackenzie’s current active transportation network highlighting all barriers and accessibility issues while exploring options to increase network traffic.

The Parks Acquisition, Improvement and Trail Development Program, published in 2015, reports, that residents will feel more comfortable and encouraged to use active transportation within our community with enhancements to the active transportation network. Valuable feedback received from community members during the development of the 2014 Official Community Plan, will assist in developing a framework for the District's Active Transportation Plan, highlighting opportunities to build new and expanded networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails, and pedestrian bridges, in addition to supporting active transportation planning and stakeholder engagement activities.

The Active Transportation Plan approved by Saskatoon City Council in 2016 identified Millar Avenue as a priority for a future All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling route and recommended that sidewalks be installed on at least one side of the street. The project will include the assessment, engagement, and design of a multi-use pathway for Millar Avenue from 43rd Street to Marquis Drive. Multi-use pathways benefit all users, including vulnerable populations. The multi-use pathway will provide connections in the cycling network (existing multi-use pathway on Marquis Drive), to transit service, and is expected to improve the safety of active transportation in the area, in addition to improving access to and within this employment area. The project will include an assessment of the existing conditions along the corridor, identify opportunities and challenges, evaluate alternatives, complete stakeholder engagement, and preparation of the design. Design will consider intersection treatments, appropriate locations for pedestrian ramps, driveway crossing treatments, utility conflicts, and connections to existing facilities, etc. Two rounds of engagement are anticipated.

SPF’s objective will be achieved by functioning as an innovative, partnership-driven complement to the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ISETS) that fosters more integrated, harmonized, training-to-employment models or acts as a catalyst for the formation and testing of innovative new partnerships in Indigenous labour market development. SPF activities will emphasize joint stewardship and coordination consistent with the Aboriginal Economic Development Framework. Through access to SPF funding, a wider range of Indigenous organizations will deliver Indigenous labour market programming, serving to embed collaboration and maximize leveraging opportunities with industry, federal-provincial-territorial partners, and Indigenous partners

In this project, the firm’s goal to hire a Bachelor of Science (Ecology and Conservation Biology Co-op with a minor in Geography) graduate to become involved in several of SEM’s Species at Risk (SAR) initiatives, as the firm’s Environmental Communications Specialist. The intent is to educate the graduate in the techniques required to create documents related to Species at Risk, to understand and contribute to the Species at Risks programs, and to communicate the results of such work with these sensitive species through reports, social media, etc. Species at Risk programs are a significant component of SEM’s business and SEM will benefit from a bolstered capacity in these skills.
