Description

Timber scaling is the measurement of harvested timber to determine its net roundwood or product volume. It is used to assess crown timber charges and ensure the sustainability of the timber resource by determining the harvested volume in relation to the annual allowable cut. Timber scaling must be done by a person holding a valid Scaler's Permit. This policy is written in accordance with the Timber Management Regulation and the Scaling Regulation and is intended primarily to provide the ground rules under which the training and permitting of timber scalers shall occur in Alberta. This document will further define the requirements for course instructors, course content and duration, obtaining and retaining a scalers permit, and examination procedures.

Description

Alberta Health and Wellness announced the creation of a Health Action Plan for Alberta in April 2008. A key component of this plan is the development of a pharmaceutical strategy. The majority of working Albertans are not covered by government-sponsored programs, and spending on drugs is increasing at a rate three times higher than that of physician or hospital services. To support the development of an Alberta Pharmaceutical Strategy, two consultations were undertaken in 2008. The Strategy outlined in this document is a response to the findings and recommendations of these consultations, and its goal is to make drug coverage more accessible, affordable, efficient and therapeutically effective.
