  CALGARY 2012: Elbow and Bow RIVER Water Management

  The Geological Time Scale of the Elbow and the Bow Rivers in Calgary

  There could be a project in Calgary, with the consulting of professional engineers:

  For the reconstruction of the Elbow and the Bow Rivers as commercial waterways that would be engineered to the scale and the depth of the old world (EUROPEAN) river canals.

  The purpose of this would be for the proper rivers and water management in the future generations of Calgarians so that they will have the engineering in place for dealing with the melting of the Bow Valley Corridor Glaciers on an advanced geological scale of time.

  With the Bow Valley Corridor water conservation and the engineering of the Elbow and the Bow River in place for the next 50 - 100 years, as a long term plan, the rivers and water management plan will enable the rivers to withhold the extra capacity of the last Bow Valley Corridor Geological Ice Age that is now completely melting.

  Realizing this will be the first step towards a comprehensive dialogue on how the Elbow and Bow River Waterway Systems should be managed for the future generations of Calgarians.

  There would essentially be two new waterways reconstructed and re-engineered within both of the Calgary river systems for handling the increased water flow and the increased water capacity of the Bow Valley Corridor Glacier Ice rivers and glaciated frozen ice.

  The depth and the re - engineering of both Calgary Rivers as old world waterway canals would also provide hundreds of years of valuable tourism opportunities on the waterway into Southern Alberta on a Working River System.

  The Time to Start Re - Engineering the Calgary River Systems is becoming a lost commodity of time that will become an increasing water management problem without the proper management of,

  The ELBOW and THE BOW RIVER in CALGARY as the COLLECTIVE WATER RESOURCE for all people in CALGARY.

  Calgary Pass-choose your attractions.

  Create a Calgary Pass that includes admission to Calgary's attractions like the zoo, Heritage Park, Glenbow Museum etc. and visitors or even Calgarians choose the places,say five, that they would like to visit and pay a flat sum of e.g.$40 instead of paying individual entrances. It should include discounts for children, students, seniors, even weekday discount. Thank you. niru@shaw.ca

  The Calgary 2012 Start of a New Modern and Contemporary Museum for the Arts.

  With Cultural Arts Collaboration involving major sponsorship funding, Calgary 2012 could start the design of a Museum and Art Gallery Collection for the Modern Arts.

  This Modern Cultural Museum for the Contemporary Arts in Calgary 2012 could also include An Educational Centre for the Arts.

  In partnership with all the major cultural organizations in Calgary 2012. Part of the Modern Cultural Museum Collection could include a Cultural Project that could possibly create the Largest Mosaic in Canada.

  This would be a catalyst for the Contemporary Arts Museum in Calgary 2012 as the Cultural Capital of Canada for 2012, specifically contributing to the Calgary 2012 bid as the Cultural Capital of Canada.

  For Calgary 2012 as the Cultural Centre of Canada there would have to be a very significant contribution to culture that could include ongoing funding from all levels of government.

  By creating a Cultural Fund for a Modern Cultural Museum for the Contemporary Arts in Calgary, the ongoing support with funding and with the possible creation of the Contemporary Arts Museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada it would be a Cultural Centre for the Arts with the long term benefit of supporting past, present, and future collections of All Artistic Forms of Expression.

  CALGARY: THE RIDE!

  Have you ever ridden the Star Wars simulator at Disneyland? Imagine if we created a virtual reality simulator that would allow small groups of 20 people at a time to sit in a small theatre that can be moved using hydraulics. The simulator would begin by zooming across the prairies, past grain elevators and wind-turbines, and then roar down Deerfoot Trail, into Stampede Park and into the point-of-view of a chuckwagon driver, ...more »

  Have you ever ridden the Star Wars simulator at Disneyland? Imagine if we created a virtual reality simulator that would allow small groups of 20 people at a time to sit in a small theatre that can be moved using hydraulics. The simulator would begin by zooming across the prairies, past grain elevators and wind-turbines, and then roar down Deerfoot Trail, into Stampede Park and into the point-of-view of a chuckwagon driver, follow Jarome Iginla as he goes on an end-to-end rush and scores, fly over to Canada Olympic Park and down the bobsleigh runs, and ski jump, out to the mountains and down the moguls at Sunshine Village, back across the province to Drumheller and through the valleys there, and do then race up the side of the new Bow Building and watch the torch on the Calgary Tower light at midnight, and with fireworks in the night sky and ride ends! The ride would shake and blow cold air and mist into people's faces, maybe even smells! Could be adapted into a 3D movie that could be easily transported elsewhere across the world to build tourism. Another version of this could be done in a low tech fashion, like the Peter Pan ride (also at Disneyland) where people sit in chairlifts and ride above models of the city, as if they are floating/flying around...
