The LUF was developed with extensive public, stakeholder, and Aboriginal consultation. The final framework was released by the Government of Alberta in December 2008 and provides the necessary forward-looking clarity and guidance under which specific policy development can be directed and progress can be measured. It provides a decision-making framework that reflects province-wide goals, principles and priorities. Legal authority to implement the LUF occurred on October 1, 2009, with the proclamation of the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (ALSA). The Act, which established as part of the public service but not as part of a government department, the LUS headed by the stewardship commissioner, potentially affects all activities on the land and all Albertans. This polygon shapefile contains the boundaries for the seven Land-use Framework planning regions which are based on watersheds and adjusted to align with municipal boundaries. The Land-use Framework regions are defined by Orders in Council which serve as the defining documents.2020-04-30T03:17:28.561208+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/78ac0233-bcb3-4183-bbda-e4aee93c9a40Getting started : licensing for residential addiction treatment service providers2019-07-08T14:25:56.984720+00:00This guide assists service providers of residential addiction treatment facilities in meeting the licensing requirements of Alberta’s Mental Health Services Protection Act.
