SUBJECT: Nitehawk Year-Round Adventure Park – Reallocation of Funds SUBMISSION TO: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION MEETING DATE: May 19, 2020 CAO: DT MANAGER: DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY SERVICES GM: GM PRESENTER: STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality of Life
RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite) – N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite) – N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION: That Committee of the Whole accept the presentation from Nitehawk Year-Round Adventure Park for information, as presented. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: Nitehawk Year-Round Adventure Park received an operating/capital grant in the amount of $275,000.00 for the 2020 calendar year. Their original request was $100,000.00 for operating and $226,500.00 capital for a total of $326,500.00. Upon budget deliberations, Council reduced Nitehawk’s grant for the 2020 calendar year to $275,000.00. Nitehawk is requesting to reallocate a portion of the capital funding to operation expenditures. The reason is due to the unprecedented situation that COVID-19 has presented, and the early closure of the ski area operations on March 17, 2020 as mandated by the Province of Alberta and the Alberta Lift Authority. This situation resulted in a $210,000.00 loss in budgeted revenues for the month of March alone, which included approximately $60,000.00 in School Group Revenue. Nitehawk has worked with their Board of Finance Committee to build three operational scenarios that outline a best case, worst case, and most likely revenue and expense model for the next 4 (four) months. Nitehawk stated that they would be applying for the Federal Government’s 75% Emergency Wage Subsidy when the application opened on April 27th. Nitehawk has already taken advantage of the Provincial WCB Premium deferral, have reduced staffing, and have also reached out to many of the monthly expense suppliers to reduce the ongoing expenses as much as possible. The operational scenarios have taken into account the Provincial and Federal Government subsidy programs and the significant employee layoffs that have been done, however, $131,000.00 in outstanding payables remains owed to their suppliers. The Nitehawk Acting General Manager and Nitehawk Board of Directors President will be in attendance to provide additional information and answer questions with regards to the request to reallocate funds.
77
BENEFITS OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. The benefit of the recommended action is that Council will have a clearer understanding why
Nitehawk is requesting to redirect some of their capital grant to operational expenditures.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. There are no perceived disadvantages to the recommended action.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Alternative #1: Council has the alternative to not accept the recommended action. FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: There are no financial implications to the recommended motion. STAFFING IMPLICATION: There are no staffing implications to the recommended motion. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LEVEL: Greenview has adopted the IAP2 Framework for public consultation.
INCREASING LEVEL OF PUBLIC IMPACT Inform PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GOAL Inform - To provide the public with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problem, alternatives, opportunities and/or solutions. PROMISE TO THE PUBLIC Inform - We will keep you informed.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Administration will bring forth the recommendation to Council in accordance with the decision that results from the Committee of the Whole. ATTACHMENT(S):

1 Executive Summary Canadian Fiber Optics Corporation (CFOC) and Valo Networks Ltd. (Valo) and are pleased to present this Fiber Optics Internet Connectivity Strategy to the MD of Greenview (Greenview). At CFOC and Valo, we are passionate in our belief that fiber optic networks are critical infrastructure that enable economic development, diversity and a higher quality of life for the entire community. The objective of this strategy is to provide Greenview with an overview of current and emerging broadband technologies and a roadmap for providing this critical internet connectivity to the majority of Greenview’s ratepayers.
1.1 Observations and Findings In the last three years, a significant market shift has taken place as local governments – county, municipality and municipal districts – have concluded that the incumbents such as Telus and Shaw are not going to invest in fiber in their regional and rural communities to the scope or in the timeframe that these communities need to survive and thrive. Internet access is no longer a “nice-to-have” residential amenity, but it is a critical service that is essential to every level of government and all businesses whether they be an owner-operated start-up in someone’s basement or a multinational conglomerate. Furthermore, internet access is equally critical to the residents of all communities. It is how they now receive government services including healthcare, work from home; educate their children and access the myriad of social media and streaming media and sports sites for their leisure time.
The fact that Greenview has undertaken this Fiber Optics Internet Connectivity Strategy is an important first step in ensuring that the MD has the fiber and connectivity infrastructure that it is going to need in to support continued growth and prosperity. A summary of our findings and observations from the strategy work completed is as follows:
• In the MD of Greenview, the availability of high-quality internet varies significantly across the District. The vast majority of residents and businesses have either a Telus DSL (twisted pair copper) or a wireless internet service that is not meeting their needs. Those locations where even these services are not available use a low-bandwidth satellite service.
• The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s (CRTC) has defined the universal service objective for fixed internet access to be at least 50 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 10 Mbps upload with an option of unlimited data.
• In the strategy below we provide an approach to building internet connectivity for all of Greenview. This approach involves building fiber backbone, fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) and next-generation wireless broadband operated on a wholesale basis.
• In Section 3 below we highlight some key future technologies that have a role to play in the provision of internet services, how those technologies may be rolled out in Greenview and the Smart Community applications and services that are enabled by more extensive broad infrastructure.
98
• Given new internet connectivity infrastructure is required in the region we provide an overview of key business models and partnership/governance models that could be used by the MD of Greenview to facilitate and potentially invest in connectivity infrastructure in the municipal district.
1.2 Strategy Overview and Recommended Approach We recommend the MD of Greenview facilitate the creation of fiber optic internet connectivity infrastructure in the municipal district to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of the MD, its residents and businesses. High-speed internet access is a critical service to all sectors of the market – residential, commercial, industrial and government. The provision of this critical service can no longer be left to the purview of the incumbent telco and cable companies. The MD of Greenview must ensure that connectivity infrastructure is built to ensure that long-term access and availability of critical internet services. Public Capital, including some level of financial support from the MD of Greenview are necessary for the majority of Greenview’s ratepayers to have access to high speed reliable internet.
Our budgetary estimate to solve the fiber optic connectivity issue in the MD of Greenview is $14 -$15 million dollars. We estimate that half the capital could be obtained from a combination of provincial and federal grants and private sector investment. The MD would have to finance approximately half this capital over 2-3 years. The breakdown estimates for each fiber segment and hamlet can be found in Section 2 below.
This connectivity budget would build a fiber backbone through the MD of Greenview, fiber-to-the-premise in the hamlets and an advanced wholesale wireless solution elsewhere in the MD. In Section 4 below, we introduce a three-layered fiber ecosystem model that if implemented would fully leverage the municipal district’s efforts and investment in connectivity infrastructure and provide a governance and ownership model for the infrastructure.
We recognize the challenging economic environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic may limit capital availability for infrastructure investment in the short-term. However, we believe the COVID crisis only emphasizes the need for modern connectivity infrastructure for all communities not just metropolitan centers. It is very likely that the provincial and federal governments will create new stimulus and broadband infrastructure grant programs as a result of the current crisis. The MD of Greenview should work to create “shovel-ready” projects to take advantage of these programs. In order to leverage these stimulus and grant programs, the MD of Greenview should be prepared to deploy $2-3 million in capital within the next 18 months.
We are not proposing that the MD go into the internet business. There are private sector solutions and providers that are willing to work in partnership with Greenview to put the MD’s infrastructure to use on a professional and competitive basis. This partnership can create a fiber optic ecosystem within Greenview that meet both public policy and private sector needs.
99
2 Strategy and Recommended Approach In economic terms, a “market failure” is a state of disequilibrium in which the quantity supplied of a good or service does not equal the quantity demanded by the market. This is exactly the state that rural and regional markets throughout Canada are experiencing with high-speed broadband internet. The demand for high-quality internet services simply is not being met by the market. In the MD of Greenview, this market failure means the vast majority of residents do not have access to the CRTC’s universal broadband standard of 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The following strategy is proposed to remedy this market failure.
2.1 Strategy Our recommendation is that the MD of Greenview facilitate and invest in connectivity infrastructure that will contribute to correcting this market failure. Fiber optic networks are essential infrastructure no different from roads, water, sewer and power. This essential infrastructure cannot be left to incumbents like Telus and Shaw to address. The quality of life for Greenview residents and the competitiveness and efficiency of its businesses depend on this infrastructure. Therefore, the MD of Greenview Council should undertake a program to incent and invest in connectivity infrastructure throughout the municipal district.
The investment in fiber should consist of both backhaul segments and Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) communities. The backhaul segments ensure that there is adequate fiber available throughout the major corridors in the MD not just for today’s needs, but far into the future. Building FTTP communities will create serviced and desirable communities within the MD. The MD of Greenview can contribute to the capital cost of these networks along with other grant funding and private capital.
In order to fully leverage the municipal district’s efforts and investment in connectivity infrastructure, we recommend that it implements some form of the three-layered fiber ecosystem model presented in Section 4 below. Creating fiber infrastructure and then making this infrastructure available to the market through a single wholesale ISP is the most efficient way to build the economies of scale on the infrastructure that will create commercial viability and long-term benefit for the community.
In addition to fiber optic infrastructure, there is value in the MD building or contributing to the creation of wireless infrastructure. Especially if such wireless infrastructure is next-generation and made available on an open access basis.
2.2 Modelling Network Build Out The network infrastructure “build out” should be planned in a phased approach and built in “segments” or in sections. One segment in Phase 1 could be backhaul fiber connecting Greenview communities down Highway 43. Another segment could be FTTP builds in communities like Grovedale and Ridge Valley. We have created “Level 1” designs for these segments. A “Level 1” design identifies the major characteristics of a proposed build such as
100
premise count, distances and construction method in order to come to a budgetary development cost. This budgetary cost is used for planning purposes, but it must be refined and confirmed through formal design and permitting process. Below we present various infrastructure builds that could be part of a 2020 build program or they could be included as part of a multi-year infrastructure plan. We present these possible builds grouped by:
• Backhaul Infrastructure Builds; • Fiber-to-the-Premise Builds; and, • Wireless Infrastructure Builds.
2.3 Connectivity Infrastructure Build Summary In practice, there are many different approaches to building the necessary connectivity infrastructure for Greenview. The exact combination of backhaul, FTTP and next-generation wireless infrastructure that is utilized in Greenview will depend upon market demand, current infrastructure and funding availability.
The various approaches presented below are presented based on the review completed as part of this strategy and the best information we have available to date.
Segment Budgetary Cost
Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP)
DeBolt $332,535
Grovedale $660,426
Grovedale Rural $510,029
Grande Cache $4,252,837
Landry Heights $291,410
Little Smokey $243,580
Ridge Valley $119,031
FTTP Sub-Total $6,409,848
Backbone Segments
Highway 43 – Bezanson to Fox Creek $5,208,000
New Fish Creek $1,488,000
Sunset House $899,000
Crooked Creek $108,500
Backbone Sub-Total $7,703,500
Total Fiber Infrastructure $14,113,348 Wholesale Next-Generation Wireless Infrastructure (High-speed connectivity to Co-ops, Enterprises and Rural Residents)
$600,000 - $1,500,000
101
2.4 Possible Fiber-to-the-Premise Builds Fiber to the premise is the ultimate solution to deliver high-speed internet to a home or business. The existing “twisted pair” copper telephone lines are not capable of delivering the bandwidth that consumers currently demand. Copper coaxial cable television cables have a higher capacity than telephone cables but still don’t compare to fiber. Installing fiber cables to a building solves the internet access issue for the life of the building. Building fiber connectivity to a building adds considerable value to the building and neighborhood – similar to connecting it to a community water or power grid.
It is clear that the incumbent telephone carrier is not going to retroactively install fiber in Greenview’s hamlets and communities in a timeframe that these communities require to thrive - if they ever install it at all. The capability of fiber optic technologies together with the market reality creates the need for the MD of Greenview to facilitate and invest in creating fiber connectivity infrastructure in the MD. We have creating high-level estimates of what it would take to build FTTP in Greenview’s hamlets and communities.
2.4.1 Grovedale
Building FTTP in Grovedale would be completely in-line with and supportive of the Grovedale Area Structure Plan created by the MD. An investment of fiber in a community makes it more attractive to individuals, couples and families in the region. The close proximity of Grovedale to Grande Prairie makes it a very attractive commuting community if people had access to the ultra-highspeed that home buyers are demanding.
102
Figure 1 - Proposed Grovedale FTTP Layout
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the community including a representation of drops to individual premises. A detailed FTTP fiber design will be completed if Grovedale was selected as a pilot segment.
While the Grovedale Area Structure Plan envisions a more densely populated “village center”, the current residential development is more estate-like with longer distances from the road to the house. These longer “drops” are more expensive to build than more traditional metropolitan developments. Alternative middle mile and drop technologies such as ‘pipe-in-
103
pipe’ can be investigated. The cost estimate below are based on our best knowledge at the time of this strategy and assume traditional buried fiber drops to homes.
Grovedale Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
64 $660,426 +/-25%
Please note:
• The relatively high cost on a per premise basis is due to a large amount of middle mile fiber and long drops to each of the houses.
• This build would be done in such a manner as to create excess fiber capacity to expand the network as Grovedale is built out.
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding. • The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building
drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.4.2 Ridge Valley
Building FTTP in Ridge Valley would provide a draw to a community located in the eastern part of the MD. Building FTTP in Ridge Valley would require that the middle mile backhaul connection through crooked creek would be constructed.
104
Figure 2 - Proposed Ridge Valley FTTP Layout
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the community including a representation of drops to individual premises. A detailed FTTP fiber design will be completed if Ridge Valley was selected as a pilot segment.
These cost elements are based on our best knowledge at the time of this proposal regarding the topology and ground conditions at the site. With the detailed fiber design, the exact fiber path, hand hold placement and drop path will be finalized.
Ridge Valley Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
50 $119,031 +/-25%
Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding. • To FTTP cost does not include the middle mile backbone through Crooked Creek. • The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building
drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
105
2.4.3 DeBolt
Building FTTP in DeBolt is a logical choice for the MD as the hamlet is located right next to the proposed backhaul network on Highway 43.
Figure 3 - Proposed DeBolt FTTP Layout
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the community including a representation of drops to individual premises. A detailed FTTP fiber design will be completed if DeBolt was selected as a pilot segment.
These cost elements are based on our best knowledge at the time of this proposal regarding the topology and ground conditions at the site. With the detailed fiber design, the exact fiber path, hand hold placement and drop path will be finalized.
DeBolt Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
118 $332,535 +/-25%
Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding.
106
• The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.4.4 Landry Heights
Landry Heights has similar characteristics to Grovedale. The community currently does not have access to broadband services that meet the CRTC’s universal broadband access speeds. The community would be even more attractive with FTTP services.
Figure 4 - Proposed Landry Heights FTTP Layout
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the community including a representation of drops to individual premises. A detailed FTTP fiber design will be completed if Landry Heights was selected as a pilot segment.
These cost elements are based on our best knowledge at the time of this proposal regarding the topology and ground conditions at the site. With the detailed fiber design, the exact fiber path, hand hold placement and drop path will be finalized.
Landry Heights Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
49 $291,410 +/-25%
Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding. • The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building
drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.4.5 Little Smokey
107
Little Smokey is currently a very small community with just 19 homes identified within the area. For this build we have included a middle mile connection north up to Township Road 670 where a wireless tower could be served or placed to provide high-speed services the farms, park and acreages in the area. Figure 5 - Proposed Little Smokey FTTP Layout
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the community including a representation of drops to individual premises. A detailed FTTP fiber design will be completed if Little Smokey was selected as a pilot segment.
These cost elements are based on our best knowledge at the time of this proposal regarding the topology and ground conditions at the site. With the detailed fiber design, the exact fiber path, hand hold placement and drop path will be finalized.
Little Smokey Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
19 $243,580 +/-25%
Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding.
108
• The budgetary cost includes 4 km of middle mile to Township Road 670 to serve wireless in the area. If that segment were removed or only that segment was built the budget would be half of estimated.
• The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.4.6 Grovedale Rural
In addition to the Grovedale FTTP deployment, we have included a sample build for a more ‘rural’ part of the Grovedale community. This approach involves installing fiber down range roads and township roads and picking up the farms and acreages along the route. This build would be used as a pilot to what building fiber in more rural parts of Greenview could look like.

Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding. • The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building
drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.5 Possible Backhaul Infrastructure Builds Fiber optic backhaul networks are a critical part of the internet connectivity infrastructure. The ultimate objective for a Greenview network would be to secure or build its own fiber back to the internet global gateway in Edmonton. With its own fiber backhaul infrastructure the MD would not be beholden to any single internet provider and would have a means to ensure competitively priced internet backhaul would be always available in the MD.
Second to securing backhaul to the global gateway, the purpose of ‘middle mile’ backhaul in Greenview is to distribute internet access from the various service provider ‘points of presence’ (PoPs) throughout the MD. Axia’s Supernet has PoPs in Grande Cache, Grovedale, Valleyview, and Fox Creek in addition to sites in Grande Prairie and various communities around the County of Grande Prairie. Telus has PoPs in Grande Cache and Grande Prairie but the Grande Cache site is service constrained. The MD of Greenview’s backhaul infrastructure would be used to deliver high-speed internet to the hamlets and wireless towers around the MD. All backhaul designs should provide capacity for future FTTP communities along the route and placement of wireless towers to support the farms and acreages around any FTTP community. This section outlines possible backhaul segments that would contribute to Greenview’s connectivity infrastructure.
110
2.5.1 Highway 43 Backbone
Building a fiber backbone down Highway 43 provides many short and long-term benefits to Greenview. The backbone would be used to connect the hamlets and communities on the eastern side of the MD. This fiber backbone would enable FTTP builds in the hamlets of DeBolt, Ridge Valley and Little Smokey. The backbone would also support wireless infrastructure that could be built in addition to or in place of FTTP in the region.
This part of the province needs new fiber infrastructure. The primary existing fiber backbone through this part of the province is the Rohl Fiber Network which is 20 years old. The Rohl fiber is only 24 strands and is completely allocated between Grande Prairie and Edmonton. There would be the opportunity to commercialize this backhaul by leasing fiber to the market.
111
Figure 7 - Proposed Highway 43 Backhaul Route
The red line above denotes a possible fiber path. The final alignment and placements will be subject to a fiber design. It is also possible to build this backhaul in segments over the span of two or three years. For planning purposes this “Level 1” design has the following characteristics.
Length of Backhaul Price per Meter
Backhaul Cost Possible Cost Variance with Design
168,000 meters $31.00 $5,208,000 +/-15%
Please note:
• The price per meter is an indicative market rate. • This backhaul network could be broken down into segments and built over two years.
For example, Bezanson to Valleyview would be approximately $2.4 million. • The backhaul cost does not take into account possible grant funding or participation
of private capital. • This cost estimate assumes 96 strand fiber and all outside plant necessary to complete
the build.
2.5.2 New Fish Creek and Sunset House
The fiber backbone build to New Fish Creek and Sunset House are good examples of backhaul segments that do not have the commercial viability to be built with solely private capital. However, these regions are important agriculture communities within Greenview.
The fiber backbone is drawn out for illustrative purposes, but it is likely that the ultimate solution would be some combination of fiber and high-capacity wholesale wireless services to serve these communities and the farms and acreages around them. The first choice should be to leverage any existing fiber or wireless infrastructure that may be in the area that is fit for use and commercially available. Failing existing infrastructure, new fiber and wireless infrastructure should be built.

Figure 8 - Proposed Fiber Route to New Fish Creek and Sunset House
The yellow line above denotes a possible fiber path to each community. The final alignment and placements will be subject to a fiber design and any available infrastructure. If wholesale whitespace radio technology is considered, then it may be possible to build a single fiber connection to a tower and serve both communities. In this case, a formal wireless engineering study would be completed. If a long-term view is adopted and Greenview decides to build fiber to each community, it is possible to build this backhaul in segments over the span of two or three years. For planning purposes this “Level 1” design has the following characteristics.
Length of Backhaul Price per Meter
Backhaul Cost Possible Cost Variance with Design
New Fish Creek – 48,000 m $31.00 $1,488,000 +/-15%
Sunset House – 29,000 m $31.00 $899,000 +/-15%
Please note:
• The price per meter is an indicative market rate.
113
• This backhaul network could be broken down into segments and built over two or three years.
• The backhaul cost does not take into account possible grant funding. • This cost estimate assumes 96 strand fiber and all outside plant necessary to complete
the build.
2.5.3 Crooked Creek Middle Mile
Some of the Greenview hamlets will need ‘middle mile’ backhaul fiber built to connect them to the primary backhaul routes. If we assume there is a primary backhaul fiber line running down Highway 43, then a middle mile connection from that backhaul to the hamlet is required.
The Crooked Creek middle mile fiber build would be required if the MD was to undertake a FTTP build in Ridge Valley.
Figure 9 - Proposed Crooked Creek Middle Mile Route
The blue line above denotes a possible fiber path from the primary backhaul route to Ridge Valley. The final alignment and placements will be subject to a fiber design and permitting. For planning purposes this “Level 1” design has the following characteristics.
Length of Backhaul Price per Meter
Backhaul Cost Possible Cost Variance with Design
3,100 m $35.00 $108,500 +/-15%
Please note:
• The price per meter is an indicative market rate. • The higher per meter price is a factor of the relative short distance. • The backhaul cost does not take into account possible grant funding.
114
• This cost estimate assumes 96 strand fiber and all outside plant necessary to complete the build.
2.6 Possible Wireless Infrastructure Builds The topography of Greenview makes it challenging to implement radio solutions for the delivery of fixed wireless internet services. The valleys, mountains and forests make it very difficult to deliver the bandwidth that consumers and businesses now require. This challenging topography combined with very distributed and sparse populations mean that the mobile phone carriers have not invested in the infrastructure to cover much of the MD either.
We propose that the whitespace radio technology introduced in Section 3 below could be a solution to this challenge. This new whitespace spectrum offers a solution that provides significant bandwidth at distance if a line-of-site can be established. Connecting these new radio systems to fiber optic backhaul would enable them to offer internet and connectivity services at a far greater capacity than anything available in the market today. Using the fiber ecosystem market model, the wholesale ISP could offer these wireless services to RSPs to sell into the market.
2.6.1 Co-operatives and Enterprises
For the Co-operatives and Enterprises in the MD of Greenview, access to adequate communications and internet services has been an on-going issue. It is entirely feasible to build FTTP to the Co-ops and Enterprises similar to that contemplated for the hamlets in Greenview. As an alternative to this approach, we propose that a whitespace wireless solution could be evaluated for the Co-ops and Enterprises. In practice, FTTP and whitespace wireless could be substituted for each other in any of the hamlets, Co-ops or Enterprises. As a general guideline we would recommend FTTP where significant population growth could take place in the community over time.
115
Figure 10 - Overview of Co-ops and Enterprises
The red line in the diagram above represents existing CFOC fiber. It is possible that more than one Co-op and/or Enterprise could be served from a single tower location.
A proper wireless engineering assessment would be the logical next step in determining the applicability of this solution. The budgetary costs for a whitespace wireless implementation are from $300K-$600K if a tower has to be constructed. This solution would cover up to 1,000 households in a 40 kilometer distance from the tower with a 100 Mbps Download and 100 Mbps Upload speed on a line of sight basis.
2.6.2 911 and Public Safety
It is important to note that the whitespace wireless technologies were specifically developed to replace traditional coaxial cable builds where such construction was just not feasible. Therefore, the service fully supports triple play services which include voice, video and internet. CRTC regulations require any Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) implementation must facilitate local emergency 911 services. Therefore, the provision of these wholesale whitespace wireless services to the Co-ops and Enterprises is a way to provide these communities with critical 911 services.
Furthermore, with the overall communications infrastructure that this strategy contemplates, there exists the opportunity to make the infrastructure available to the Alberta First Responder Radio Communication System (AFRRCS) operated by the Alberta Government. The infrastructure may also be utilized by technologies or mobile carriers to provide for expanded mobility and public safety services.

2.7 Options for Grande Cache Infrastructure With Grande Cache being the largest hamlet and population center in the MD of Greenview, coming up with an ultra-fast broadband solution for the hamlet will solve the internet access issue for over 60% of Greenview’s ratepayers.
CFOC/Valo have completed a “Level 1” design for building Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) in Grande Cache. A high-level fiber map may be found in the figure below. However, our initial investigations as part of this strategy have highlighted some factors that could make FTTP construction challenging and hence more expensive. Specifically, utility placement, and the historical records of such, are potentially problematic and incomplete. Furthermore, the make-up and consistency of the first six feet of topsoil throughout the hamlet may create a challenging build.
Prior to finalizing an infrastructure plan for Grande Cache we recommend further study of the conditions for FTTP construction. Such study could include building a pilot project in the commercial sector of town and a portion of residential sector to gain first hand experience with the ground conditions and other factors impacting the build.
In addition to an FTTP pilot within the hamlet a study of an alternative last mile connection technology such as whitespace wireless services could be undertaken for Grande Cache.
Figure 11 - Proposed Grande Cache FTTP Layout
117
The image above is a high-level (“Level 1”) depiction of the fiber path through the Grande Cache. If the potential issue with utility placement turns out not to be a significant factor, and the alleyways can be utilized as a right-away for the middle mile fiber, then Grande Cache could be a very good candidate for FTTP.
With the potential build challenge mitigated, the relatively large number of premises within the hamlet allow for economies of scale when it comes to building the middle mile fiber and the drop connections. The estimated build cost per premise is the lowest of any of the Greenview hamlets at $2,453 per premise.
Grande Cache Number of Premises
Budgetary Cost of FTTP
Possible Cost Variance with Design
1,734 $4,252,837 +/-25%
Please note:
• The cost does not take into account possible grant funding and possible private sector contribution to the build.
• The build cost assumes drops to all premises. The cost may be reduced by building drops to initial subscribers and providing “drop-ready” stubs to other premises.
2.8 Municipal and Provincial Bylaws, Procedure and Guideline Compliance When considering connectivity infrastructure construction within the MD we must take into account any local, provincial and federal regulations and guidelines. These considerations can be classified into two broad categories: environmental and building code.
2.8.1 Environmental Considerations
The vast size, the sparse population and the biodiversity that exists within the MD of Greenview is important to preserve and protect. Before building infrastructure, it is important to understand ecologically sensitive areas and areas with migration strategies and the seasonality of these migrations.
Proposed infrastructure outside a transportation corridor or hamlet would require engagement with Alberta Environment and Parks to ensure the MD’s land and wildlife are protected and preserved, that construction and the resulting infrastructure leaves as minimal footprint as possible.
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is a common tool used to address environmental legislative requirements and regulations whether those be provincial or federal. Accommodation for caribou migration patterns is a good example of the type of consideration and mitigation that would be included in the CEMP.
The CEMP would be created as part of any project planning and then reviewed and updated during the project life cycle.
118
2.8.2 Building Codes and Bylaws
Given that all of the network construction contemplated in this strategy would take place within the MD of Greenview, it would be MD codes and bylaws that would be followed and included in construction plans.
Initial conversations with Greenview’s General Manager of Infrastructure and Planning have identified build considerations in Grande Cache that would have to be addressed in any work to take place there. Furthermore, ATCO is planning a significant upgrade and modernization of the power infrastructure in Grande Cache that will take place within the next 24 months and continue over a several year period. This upgrade will impact any approach to connectivity infrastructure in the hamlet.
Upon first review, it appears depth requirements are functional and there is an openness to explore alternative construction methodologies like narrow trenching. Existing pole infrastructure is being analyzed as is the potential to build new pole infrastructure and the possible use of manhole infrastructure.
2.9 Tri-Municipal Industrial Partnership (TMIP) The Tri-Municipal Industrial Partnership (TMIP) is moving through the Area Structure Plan (ASP) process. Ultra high-speed internet connectivity will be a critical service that is required by partners and tenants of the eco-industrial district. CFOC has invested in infrastructure that runs down Highway 40 through the center of the district. This fiber will be commercially available to provide services companies and users within the TMIP district. As the ASP is completed and development within the district is begun, we will investigate whether additional connectivity infrastructure is required and what parties should be responsible for providing such infrastructure.
2.10 Budgetary Build Costs and Approach Valo/CFOC envision that any initial phase or pilot of an infrastructure build program, if approved, will be complete by the end of 2020. While grant funding would be pursued immediately upon initiation of a pilots or initial phase, given the lead time for the grant funding outlined in Section 4 below, those funds would not be available until 2021 build year at the earliest. Therefore, budget for the pilots would likely have to come from the MD of Greenview and potentially its private sector partners.
In concert with activities to produce grant money, Valo/CFOC would use our advanced design software to quickly iterate designs and give high level costing estimates that are typical in the industry. Over the past few years, there have been significant technological changes in bandwidth demand. Valo/CFOC’s approach is to deliver a plan that would take all technology advances and options to produce a roadmap to build a “Hybrid” network of different technologies to meet or exceed 100 Mbps synchronous speeds throughout the MD of Greenview.
119
Future phases of the MD of Greenview plan could be managed through the concept of a Fiber Working Group (FWG). The FWG would consist of key municipal district and community stakeholders and would meet monthly. The FWG would be chaired by Greenview and managed by a dedicated resource.
2.10.1 Utilize the MD of Greenview’s Assets and Infrastructure
In order to build a fiber network throughout Greenview that has the widest reach possible, while minimizing the capital cost necessary, it is necessary to utilize the MD of Greenview’s assets and infrastructure wherever possible. Such assets and infrastructure include District land, buildings, rights-of-way, and towers.
2.10.2 Budgetary Costing
Fiber optic network construction costs, like any civil construction, are highly dependent upon the conditions of the terrain that you are building with, the time of year you are building and the level of development in the area you are building. Average build costs on a per unit basis will vary significantly depending upon the variables involved in building fiber optic cable. Some of the specific variables driving build costs include:
• build approach – direct buried, ducted fiber or aerial deployment; • number of road, utility and pipeline crossings; • size and openness of right-of-way; • size of fiber and duct being installed, if applicable; • if aerial, pole make-ready and pole rental costs; • quality of materials in the outside plant (e.g. our handholds have Tier 22 lids which
essentially means you can drive across them); • Level of development in build area (i.e. urban development versus rural); • level of remediation required; • make-up/consistency of the ground that must be plowed/drilled into; and • amount of plowing versus drilling.
Some of the factors above are interdependent and can compound each other. To provide some indication of build costs, the following per unit ranges are provided:
• Back haul (middle mile) fiber construction incorporating both plowing and drilling with average number of road and pipeline crossings in largely unfettered loose soil: $30 - $36 per meter (assuming a 96 strand fiber).
• Back haul (middle mile) fiber construction incorporating plowing and drilling with higher than average number of road and pipeline crossings in tougher soil or tight right-aways: $34 - $45 per meter (assuming a 96-strand strand fiber).
• For Level 1 designs, FTTP builds are often quote as cost per premise passed. This rate can range up to $3,000 per premise passed in communities with difficult build conditions.
120
• The drop pricing from the curb or small hand hold “flowerpot” can range from $400-$1,800 per home depending on how and when the drop is built.
• Construction cost elements: o The cost of pipeline crossings can range from $1,500 - $3,500 per pipeline
depending on conditions, depth and crossing requirements. o The cost of plowing duct can range from $9 - $18 per meter depending upon
ground condition and right-away size/access. o The cost of horizontal drilling backhaul can range from $30 - $50 per meter,
again depending ground condition and access. o Drilling in highly urban settings can range from $50 - $250 per meter.
121
2.11 Context and Background for a Pilot The Pilot concept was successfully used by Red Deer County (RDC) in 2019 and has resulted in RDC putting in place a multi-year infrastructure plan with associated funding. During the pilot phase the County with its partners worked on a governance model plus the planning, design and costing for a multi-year rollout of wireless and fiber infrastructure to connect all communities and business/population densities throughout RDC. We propose the MD of Greenview undertake a similar planning, design and budgeting effort as part of its phasing of infrastructure construction.
CFOC/Valo envision that up to 3-4 of these “pilot” segments could be completed as part of a Phase 1 scope in 2020 pending any necessary approval and procurement processes. These pilot segments would need to be undertaken with Greenview and possibly private sector funding since the lead time on the public sector grant programs mentioned in Section 4 is typically 12-18 months.
In parallel with the pilot(s), the MD of Greenview would evaluate and select a course of action with regards to further connectivity infrastructure and the implementation of a fiber ecosystem. Options would be:
• Develop plans, publish them and Search for Private Sector Partner(s); • Build and operate a public network for use by commercial, government and residential
entities; • Create a hybrid connectivity company or PPP (Public-Private Partnership) for
connectivity infrastructure; • Do nothing - do not proceed past the pilot projects.
2.11.1 Lifecycle Costs
A comment about lifecycle in relation to owning and managing the network. In the Fiber Ecosystem model, the wholesale services fund the ongoing maintenance of the network, so there are no on-going operating expenses for the MD. The wholesale operator should have to obligation to fund and perform the maintenance on the fiber and wireless infrastructure.
2.11.2 The Cost of Delaying
The MD of Greenview, like most districts and counties in rural Canada, finds itself in a difficult situation with relation to Broadband development. If we look back at the development of broadband services and technology over the past 15 years, it’s difficult to believe that anyone could have predicted the vast impact that the internet now has on people’s daily lives. What does the next 10 years have in store for governments, businesses and the residents within these communities? Also, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an exclamation mark behind the need for broadband services in our communities.
With all that being stated, it is difficult to quantify the economic impact of not implementing a plan and building a road map for investment for Broadband into the future. A Taylorwarwick report done for SouthGrow Regional Development Initiative (Southern Alberta) in 2018 states
122
that for every 1 dollar invested in Broadband infrastructure results in a Cost Benefit (CB) ratio of 3.17 dollars in benefits1. For the reasons already stated it’s not a stretch to believe that the CB ratio has increased since this report was created just 2 years ago.
2.12 Recommendation We recommend the MD of Greenview facilitate the creation of and fund fiber optic internet connectivity infrastructure in the municipal district. High-speed internet access is a critical service to all sectors of the market – residential, commercial, industrial and government. The provision of this critical service can no longer be left to the purview of the incumbent telco and cable companies. The MD of Greenview must build its own infrastructure to ensure that long-term access and availability of this service is available to all residents and businesses. We are not proposing that the MD go into the internet business. As discussed in Section 4 below, there are private sector solutions and providers that are willing to work in partnership with Greenview to put the MD’s infrastructure to use on a professional and competitive basis. This partnership can create a fiber optic ecosystem within Greenview that both meet both public policy and private sector needs.
To demonstrate the viability of the ecosystem approach, we recommend that the MD of Greenview identify and undertake a “Phase 1” scope of work that is a mix of fiber backbone build, fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) and possibly next generation wireless local access services that can be operated on a wholesale basis.
The benefits of this approach include:
• Start to address the most underserved regions with infrastructure; • Put the market structure in place to build ecosystem; • Align stakeholders to support and or use new infrastructure; • Create CRTC and other grant applications for future phases of rollouts; and, • Create Shovel-Ready projects available for Provincial and Federal Stimulus Funding.
However, we recognize the challenging economic environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic may limit capital availability for infrastructure investment in the short-term. However, we believe the COVID crisis also emphasizes the need for modern connectivity infrastructure for all communities not just metropolitan centers. It is very likely that the provincial and federal governments will create new stimulus and broadband infrastructure grant programs as a result of the current crisis. The MD of Greenview should work to create “shovel-ready” projects to take advantage of these programs. In order to leverage these stimulus and grant programs, the MD of Greenview should be prepared to deploy $2-3 million in capital within the next 18 months.

123
The logistics of putting a Phase 1 scope of work together can be used to create these shovel-ready projects and validate the assumption that grant and private sector capital can be leveraged.
Therefore, our recommendation is that two or three small FTTP builds be included in the first phase together with a backhaul segment and an engineering study for a whitespace wireless deployment. Our recommended combination of segments is as follows:
• FTTP build in Grovedale (Budgetary estimate: $660,426) • FTTP build in DeBolt and/or a representative portion of Grande Cache (Budgetary
estimate: $332,535 to $750,000) • Whitespace Wireless Engineering study to cover Wanyandie East Co-op and
Wanyandie West Co-op with high-speed wireless and VoIP/911 services (Budgetary estimate: $50,000)
• Backhaul build on a portion of the Highway 43 backhaul from Bezanson to Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation with a connection to Valleyview SuperNet PoP (Budgetary estimate: $2.4 million)
The total scope for this proposed Phase 1 would be $3.44 million to $3.86 million. This Phase 1 scope of work creates a significant amount of the fiber optics internet connectivity infrastructure that Greenview requires to realize its policy objectives.
2.12.1 Schedule
We believe that the connectivity infrastructure that we have described in this strategy is critical to both the quality of life for Greenview residents and the competitiveness of Greenview based businesses. As such, its construction should not be delayed past 2022. We know that all of the scope contained in this strategy can be constructed before the end of 2021. Therefore, it is a matter of priorities and what combination of Greenview funding, provincial and federal grant funding and private sector funding can be assembled to complete the connectivity infrastructure before 2022. A high-level gantt chart of a possible build out strategy may be found below.

3 Technology Options 3.1 Current Technologies
The current technologies that are being used to distribute broadband services in the MD of Greenview can be divided into two broad groups:
• Wired (or wireline) technologies such as copper telephone lines (i.e. twisted pair), copper cable TV lines (i.e. coaxial cable) and fiber optic cables; and,
• Wireless technologies such as mobile telephones (i.e. LTE/4G), point-to-multipoint wireless radios, satellite and WiFi.
Both wireline and wireless technologies are being used throughout Greenview. However, each technology has its pros and cons and commercial dynamics.
3.1.1 Current technology analysis and comparison to needs analysis
Characteristic Wired Networks Wireless Networks
Construction Wired networks involve either burying cable or hanging it from poles and it has to be constructed to each premise to be covered. Telephone (twist pair) networks are the most common wired network followed by cable TV (coaxial) and then fiber optic networks. However, copper cables (telephone and cable) are inferior technologies for delivering broadband services so any new network deployment should be done with fiber.
Construction of terrestrial wireless networks require radios distributed throughout the service area where those radios are attached to purpose-built towers or existing structures. The radios can be connected to each other wirelessly, but eventually the radios must be connected to a wired (typically fiber optic) network. Satellite based wireless networks uses satellites to bounce broadband signals from a ground station to a satellite receiver.
Build Cost Wired networks are costly to construct because of the civil construction requirement to build long distances for backhaul network or the requirement to build through urban areas where minimizing disruption to roads, sidewalks and existing utilities is necessary along with the requisite remediation.
Terrestrial wireless networks can be less costly to build because of the fewer points of distribution. However, land acquisition and attaching the radio towers to a wired network is expensive and limits the coverage of wireless networks. Satellite wireless networks are extremely expensive to build.
Coverage Coverage provided by a wired network only extends to those premises that are directly attached to the network.
LTE/4G – an antenna can cover 3-10 km2 depending on frequency and placement.
Point-to-multipoint – these antennas can cover hundreds of meters to 25 km but at that distance they must be line-of-sight between the tower and a receiver
126
radio meaning there can be no trees or obstructions in the way.
WiFi coverage is 150-300 feet. WiFi is not intended as a residential or business broadband delivery mechanism but instead it create a local wireless network within a home or facility.
Satellite coverage areas can be extremely large depending on the number of satellites deployed the height of their orbits.
Service Cost Wired broadband services are less expensive on a “per Mbps” basis that wireless solutions. A 1 Gbps residential service that retails for $100 per month results in a per Mbps cost of $0.10 / Mbps. A 100 Mbps cable TV broadband service costs 10X as much at $1.00 / Mbps. Wired broadband services generally provide a very high, or in some cases unlimited, cap to the amount of data that can be downloaded.
Wireless broadband services are either much more expensive per Mbps (i.e. the typical residential LTE service is $100 per month for 25 Mbps, or $4.00 per Mbps) or they are priced by the amount of data that can be downloaded (i.e. “data cap”) rather than the speed of the service. For instance, a mobile phone company will offer a 2 GB package for $45 and once you exceed 2 GB of downloaded date your service either slows down considerably or you are charged a much higher rate per unit of downloaded data. Satellite broadband services are typically low bandwidth (i.e. 5-10 Mbps / 0.5 Mbps), low “data caps” and expensive (i.e. start at $100/mo)
Performance Commercially available services (download/upload):
• Telephone (twisted pair): Up to 25 Mbps / 3 Mbps
• Cable (coaxial): Up to 600 Mbps / 15 Mbps
• Fiber: o Residential: Up to 1 Gbps / 1
Gbps o Business: Up to 10 Gbps / 10
Gbps o Enterprise: Up to 100 Gbps /
100 Gbps
Commercially available services (download/upload):
• LTE: Up to 25 Mbps / 3 Mbps • Point-to-Multipoint: Up to 300 Mbps
/ 150 Mbps depending on frequency and distance. Typically offered at LTE speeds.
• WiFi: Up to 7 Gbps over very short distances (i.e. 10 m)
Reliability Generally, very reliable. However, telephone and cable broadband services degrade rapidly with distance from the central office. Fiber most reliable over distance.
Unreliable based on number of users in the coverage area, distance from tower and local weather conditions and other obstructions
127
It is clear that the MD of Greenview needs both wired and wireless technologies as widely available throughout the MD as possible. Each technology has its specific applications and strengths. For “fixed” applications such as broadband to residences, businesses, government and industrial sites, a fiber optic wired solution provides the best performance, reliability and cost of service over the long term. Constructing copper networks (whether telephone or coaxial cable) is no longer a viable wired network solution because they do not offer a material construction cost savings (if any savings at all) and they are technically inferior to fiber optic cable.
Wireless broadband (including mobile phone services) is the only solution for broadband service delivery on the go or to sites where the civil construction costs for wired services are untenable. Currently, the technical performance of wireless services does not match wired services – although with the next generation of mobile technology this gap will be narrowed. Notwithstanding wireless broadband advances, the performance and service cost of wireless services will continue to be less attractive than wired services.
The two broadband technologies are symbiotic in that wireless broadband requires wired networks to connect their wireless antenna locations and wired networks require wireless networks to extend their reach where it is not cost affordable to build wired connections.
Each ward within the MD has those areas that are appropriate for the construction of fiber optic wired networks and parts of the ward where a wireless network solution makes the most sense. This MD of Greenview Fiber Optics Internet Connectivity Strategy considers the appropriate uses and relative merits of each broadband technology and makes its recommendations on this basis.
3.2 Future Technologies
The technologies that will be relevant to the MD of Greenview in near to mid-future (i.e. 2-10 years) include:
• Delivery technologies involve new ways to deliver broadband services to the premise. Future delivery technologies include mobile 5G networks and Low Earth Orbit satellite networks and White-space wireless networks.
• Application/service technologies are technologies that leverage high-speed broadband to deliver services to the end-user. Future application/service technologies especially relevant to Greenview include a group of technologies called “Smart City” technologies that are delivered or enabled by wired and wireless broadband networks.
• Deployment Technologies are technologies that utilize a new approach to deploying wired or wireless networks. Pipe-in-pipe is a deployment technology that uses defunct or operational pipe networks to deploy fiber optic cable.
128
For wired networks, fiber optic cable is the only relevant solution we see in the long term (i.e. 25+ years). All the wired network technologies in the research labs today are not looking to replace fiber optic cable, but rather they are researching how to transport more data down each fiber strand at less cost. For this reason, wired fiber optic networks are a long-term network infrastructure solution for the MD of Greenview.
Wireless networks have a few new technologies that are here or on the relatively near horizon – 5G wireless networks and Low Earth Orbit Satellite networks and Whitespace radio systems.
3.2.1 5G Wireless
5G or “fifth generation” refers to the next generation of mobile wireless standards and technologies that are just starting to be rolled out by the mobile phone companies. 5G will enable a fully connected and mobile society, and deliver unprecedented benefits to citizens, industry and government.
While current networks focus primarily on data transmission (i.e. throughput), 5G networks are being designed to not only provide faster transmission speeds but also to ensure more widespread coverage, to handle more connected devices and traffic types, and to support different use cases. 5G will connect infrastructure, vehicles, sensors, buildings, machinery, and people in a way that will change the way we work, play, and interact.
Some of the key benefits of the 5G standard are:
Superfast speeds
From a peak speed perspective – meaning under ideal conditions – 5G is expected to have a peak download speed of 20 Gbps. That is 20 times faster than the 4G peak download speed of 1 Gbps. To put that in context, at peak speed you could download a standard feature-length movie over a 5G network in less than a second, or 20 movies in the time it takes you to download one movie at peak 4G speed.
While peak download speed represents what could occur in ideal conditions, it is important to look at what kind of speed a user should reliably expect in average conditions. While speed can be affected by many factors, the 5G benchmark for reliable download speed per user is a minimum of 100 Mbps. While lower than 5G’s peak download speed, it is still 10 times faster than the reliable download speed per user benchmark for 4G.
Ultra-low latency
Latency refers to the time it takes for data to get from one point to another over a network. Today’s networks allow us to experience multimedia and connect with other people and machines wirelessly, but the performance of these interactions are at times affected by transmission delays.
129
The 5G benchmark for what is referred to as Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) is a minimum of 1-millisecond; much lower than the 50-millisecond latency benchmark for 4G networks. URLLC will allow us to interact and connect in real time. This opens up a vast world of possibilities that did not exist prior to 5G. Examples include:
• Telemedicine, where doctors using connected robots will be able to remotely examine, test, diagnose, and even perform surgical procedures on a patient;
• Emergency response, such as firefighting robots that can be remotely operated to rescue individuals and put out fires without endangering the lives of human firefighters; and
• Connected cars, which will be able to receive critical data from sensors embedded in roadside infrastructure, buildings, and other cars, enabling drivers or autonomous car systems to take swift action to avoid danger.
URLLC will also greatly enhance the capabilities of augmented and virtual reality which will be able to match human interaction with these digital environments in real time. This will better enable Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality use for education and training purposes. When paired with other technologies that permit users to feel the actions of another – the so-called “Tactile Internet” – training professionals will be able to instruct and correct the actions of the trainee simultaneously.
Massive connectivity
The number of physical devices, or “things”, connected to the internet (commonly referred to as the Internet of Things, or IoT) is growing exponentially. While estimates vary, the number of IoT devices – fixed and mobile – is expected to jump from tens of billions to hundreds of billions over the next decade. While not all connected devices require superfast speeds or ultra-low latency, the sheer number of connections will strain the capabilities of today’s networks.
If you have attended a large gathering such as a concert or a sporting event, you may have found it was difficult to connect to the cellular network, or that service was not completely reliable. That is because today’s networks are limited in the number of connections they can support within a defined area. For IoT to reach its full potential, the connection density of our wireless networks will have to increase dramatically.
5G networks will be designed to support large numbers of connected physical devices, even in confined spaces. The benchmark for connection density is 1 million devices per square kilometre, compared to around 2,000 devices per square kilometre for 4G.
Low power consumption
More efficient power consumption by connected devices, both when sending and receiving data and while in sleep mode, is another key component of the 5G specification. In meeting this specification, instead of requiring a wired power source, some wireless modems will be able to run on battery power for up to 10 years. This is particularly
130
important when deploying massive numbers of sensors and other physical devices as it reduces the costs of installation, maintenance, and replacement, and enables deployment in areas where wired power sources are not readily available.
While the above are but a few of the performance benchmarks for 5G networks, they illustrate the transformative nature of 5G.
Conclusions for the MD of Greenview
The widespread implementation of 5G wireless networks will provide a significant increase in the speed and quality of mobile broadband services available in the market. However, there are several factors that will influence when 5G services are delivered in Greenview and the effect they will have in the market:
• More Towers and Antenna Sites – The area covered by a typical 4G antenna is a 1-3 km radius around the tower. With 5G that “cell” size can shrink to 300-500 m. This means there will be many more antenna sites required for a full 5G rollout. This fact also means that Telcos will start the 5G deployment in large metropolitan centers. It took approximately 5-8 years for Telcos to rollout 4G out to rural and regional parts of Canada. It is very likely that it will take at least as long for the 5G rollout.
• Fiber Availability – in order for a 5G network to deliver the performance metrics described above it is an absolute requirement that each 5G antenna site is either connected to a fiber network or no more than “one hop” from a wireless network. If the MD of Greenview has invested in and facilitated the expansion of fiber throughout the municipal district, then that fiber could be available for the Telcos to use and thereby reduce the capital investment required by them to role 5G out in the municipal district. The net effect will be that 5G services will be available sooner than if there is no fiber network in the region.
• Wireless commercial model – When 5G does arrive it is very likely that it will be priced using the mobile telephone pricing model. That means the price per Mbps will be much higher than wired fiber optic networks and it is likely there will be data caps to the amount of data that can be downloaded. Therefore, it is very unlikely for mobile 5G networks to replace fixed fiber optic networks in the medium to long term future.
3.2.2 Low Earth Orbit Satellite
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites are satellites that are deployed no further than 2,000 km from the earth. Most of the satellite deployed today are LEO satellites. One of the attributes of LEO satellites is that they are only able to cover a portion of the earth’s surface at any point in time. Therefore, it was conceived that a network of LEO satellites was necessary to provide complete coverage of the earth at any point in time. One of the first successful commercial satellite networks was the Iridium satellite phone network. The first Iridium satellite was launched in 1997. Today the Iridium network provides
131
complete coverage of the earth for low-bandwidth data and telephone calls with 82 satellites.
The latest incarnation of a LEO satellite network to provide global access to internet services is the Starlink satellite network by SpaceX. The attributes of the Starlink network is as follows:
Thousands of Satellites
The first iteration of Starlink plans to launch approximate 1,600 small (500 lb) satellites into orbit. The satellites will be connected to ground stations and to each other via laser links. The extremely large number of satellites will enable high speed bandwidth (i.e. greater than 600 Mbps) to any site on earth that is covered by the satellites. As of January 2020, there are over 300 “first generation” Starlink satellites in orbit. These test satellites do not have full functionality such as the satellite to satellite laser communication system.
No Handsets
The Starlink receivers will be about the size of a pizza box. This precludes the use of handsets to access Starlink internet. However, it may be practical to have one of these receivers attached to a home or building.
Uncertain Coverage Schedule
Starlink has published very little regarding the exact schedule of their deployment and what parts of Canada will be covered first. It is likely that the roll-out will take longer than expected. Some predict that Starlink’s initial services will be backhaul services to a ground station in a region and the ‘last mile’ service will be provided by more traditional wired or wireless networks.
No Pricing
Starlink has stated that its plan is to offer ‘affordable’ broadband internet to rural and regional markets, but it has not set any expectation to what their internet service will cost.
Conclusions for the MD of Greenview
It may be tempting to believe that a LEO satellite network like Starlink will solve the dearth of internet services in rural and regional markets like the MD of Greenview. However, there are significant technological, market and regulatory risks to waiting for such a satellite network to launch commercial services. Some of the risks facing LEO satellite networks are:
• The technologies at the core of these networks all have to work exactly as planned in order to provide the speed and breadth of service that they were designed for. Phased array antennas and laser satellite-to-satellite communications are just a couple of those innovative technologies.
132
• It is estimated that Starlink will cost over $5 billion to deploy. It is possible that Starlink changes or scales back its plans before rollout. Alternatively, the network could run into financial difficulty or even go bankrupt.
• Starlink has filed for permission to launch a network of up to 42,000 satellites to meet future speed and capacity requirements. There is a significant controversy around the environmental impact of such a vast network. Furthermore, astronomers and astrophysicists are very concern about what the Starlink satellite network of thousands or tens-of-thousand of satellites will do to earth based observatories.
3.2.3 Whitespace Wireless Technology
Whitespace wireless technologies are a subset of wireless broadband technologies that utilize wireless spectrum that was previously used for broadcast television signals. With the advent of digital TV not as much spectrum is required for TV broadcasts. This reduction has created “white spaces” in the spectrum that can be utilized for other purposes. It turns out the characteristics of this part of the radio spectrum is especially suited for broadband applications.
They offer a unique integrated gigabit fixed wireless point to multipoint solution providing the technological edge to fixed and mobile operators who want to:
• Expand existing networks • Take advantaged on pre-fiber first mover advantage • Offer wireless triple play • Offload mobile traffic • Deploy high speed capacity backhaul.
With this additional radio spectrum operators can provide all the services that residential and SOHO users are looking for today – gigabit ultrafast broadband, 4k digital TV content, VOIP telephony, VOD, Telemetry and so on.
Suited for Backhaul and Last Mile
This Fixed Wireless system is a last mile solution that can also be used for back haul for other available technologies. It enables the operator to extend its service range or penetrate underserved and hard to reach markets. It provides a cost-effective alternative to FTTH, cable and fixed LTE deployments.
Integrates to Existing Standards
This is a bidirectional microwave wireless communication system. It supports several access platforms ranging from Docsis / EuroDocsis to LTE and 5G. The LTE, 5G or Docsis access platform is directly connected to the AIR base station which is communicating with the end user’s equipment.
133
Application Assumptions and Budget
The assumption that the end goal for a tower deployment is to cover more than 95% of households in any area with a solution that far exceeds the Universal Broadband Objective of 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps Upload.
The CAPEX investment depends on several factors, but this solution would be a combination of DOCSIS 3.1, 13 GHz frequency range, Harmonic CableOS for the headend and a standard cable modem end user equipment.
The combined price for all the base station equipment combined is approximately $315,000 for a 360-degree point to multipoint solution plus the cost of a tower which would be between $100,000 and $250,000 depending on the necessary height. This solution would cover up to 1,000 households in a 40 kilometer distance from the tower with a 100 Mbps Download and 100 Mbps Upload speed on a line of sight basis.
Current Deployments
Whitespace technology is being rolled out around the world as spectrum is being made available. This technology has been commercially deployed this technology in the following countries:
• Slovenia – Triple Play (Internet, IPTV and VoIP) • Slovakia – Triple Play (Internet, IPTV and VoIP) for 30,000 subscribers • Russia – IPTV and Internet for 6,000 subscribers • Spain – IPTV and Internet for 10,000 subscribers • Kazakhstan – Triple Play (Internet, IPTV and VoIP) for 4,000 subscribers • Mauritius – Triple Play (Internet, IPTV and VoIP) for 15,000 subscribers • Canada, Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia– Internet and IPTV delivery.
Conclusions for the MD of Greenview
Whitespace radio broadband solutions are relatively new to North America and offer a significant performance improvement over existing wireless broadband solutions
Opportunities and benefits include:
• Last mile connection speeds for new Whitespace wireless deployments can be up to 500 Mbps symmetrical service (i.e. upload and download). This is a phenomenal improvement over existing fixed wireless broadband solutions.
• These whitespace wireless networks can be built by or in partnership with the MD of Greenview and incorporated into the connectivity infrastructure. In such a case the wireless services would be offered to the ISP market as a wholesale service.
• Whitespace wireless towers connected to fiber optic backbone networks creates the exact synergy necessary to maximize broadband coverage in the municipal district.

3.2.4 Smart City
Fiber is essential to support the development of Smart Cities. Defining a Smart City is not easy as it is broad in scope and requires forecasting the development of new technologies. Also, few of those involved in the various aspects of what makes up a Smart City have the same view of what it means from a holistic point of view.
Generally, a Smart City is one that uses information and communications technology to manage the entire municipality with the goal of making it more efficient, responsive, and environmentally sensitive, for the benefit of the people, the economy and the city itself. Following is a list of the services involved in a Smart City.
Communications
Communications is the central focus of smart cities - communications among city departments and organizations, within the city for residents and visitors and links to the outside world via data (Internet), voice (landline, cellular and VoIP) and video entertainment (IPTV and OTT). Proper communications infrastructure will require a city-wide high-speed fiber backbone with sufficiently fast connections to the worldwide Internet backbone so that neither capacity nor speed is an issue. The fiber backbone provides the connectivity for all options listed below as well as fiber for citywide ISP connections to businesses and residents.
135
Progressive cities like Santa Monica, CA have built their own city backbones that provides for city-wide communications for all City uses and provides fiber and or connectivity to other service providers and businesses in the city. The Santa Monica CityNet backbone, for example, also serves FiOS FTTH customers and Spectrum CATV networks. In addition, it connects many businesses, large and small, with up to 1 Gbps service.
In an urban area, Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) is expected, although some alternative services like future generations of wireless may provide adequate capacity (with sufficient fiber backhaul). Fiber backbones from urban centers to rural settings (Fiber to the Tower) may be used with wireless to connect users.
The fiber backbone provides connections for multiple wireless service providers, both cellular and WiFi, to ensure a competitive marketplace. With the advent of small cells, any utility pole, streetlight or traffic light can provide quality wireless services without the unsightly cell towers or sites that urban dwellers dislike, even though they want state of the art wireless communications. Fiber and backbone capacity is needed to provide DAS (distributed antenna systems) services to large buildings both private and public, college campuses and sports facilities.
Building a properly designed physical backbone also allows multiple Internet Service Providers to compete for business on both price and service level.
City Services
Information about the city and city services for the citizens should be online and accessible. All relevant services should be able to be done online rather than in person. The City of St. Albert is finding that many departments are either using or moving toward cloud-based applications and other applications requiring high-bandwidth to support their systems. These applications supported several programs and city services, such as registrations, municipal permitting, information sharing, security, remote/web-based meetings, and more.
Transportation and Traffic management
Smart traffic signals, video and radar monitoring of traffic and parking, the creation of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications environment will all facilitate autonomous traffic in the future. Public transportation can be fully managed online; payment can be made by riders wirelessly.
Autonomous vehicles will have numerous onboard sensors to process information while moving on the streets with regular cars. Engineers involved in developing cities of the future believe that having cars talk to each other and with numerous city services - smart traffic signals, traffic signs, information from video surveillance as to the location of other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. - will simplify the task of the vehicle itself and make its operations safer. Data required to process and share all of this information will be
136
exponentially larger than anything we currently know. Comprehensive networks with fiber backhaul will be essential to successfully trial and manage these futuristic cities.
Public Safety Communications
Using communications to make the public safety divisions -fire, police, ambulance, etc. - more responsive and more responsible. This includes wireless communications on reserved frequencies and perhaps a dedicated WiFi network throughout the city.
Precision Farming / Agritech
Agritech is the use of innovative technologies in all forms of agriculture. The objective of Agritech is the improving yield, efficiency, and profitability. Agritech can be products, services or applications derived from agriculture that improve various processes. Some of the technologies and processes utilized in Agritech include: Drones; IoT-based sensor networks; Automated irrigation; Light and heat control; Intelligent software analysis for pest and disease prediction, soil management and other involved analytical tasks. All these applications require ubiquitous and reliable access to the internet.
Surveillance and Sensors
Traditionally video surveillance has been the focus of city-wide surveillance. These videos have been instrumental in preventing and solving crimes in many cities by identifying people. New types of sensors are being deployed, including gunshot sensors that can detect gunshots and locate the source using sophisticated audio techniques.
137
Now the usefulness of those cameras can be extended to tracking traffic for smart vehicles and helping control the movement of traffic. As semi- and fully autonomous vehicles begin using public streets, car-to-car and car-to-city communications are expected to be needed to facilitate this transition.
Education
Smart cities connect schools, libraries, and the citizens to share information and optimize the educational experience for all. Students learn to use the Internet in ways that facilitate their work in high-tech companies in the future.
Telehealth
Telehealth involves the use of telecommunications and virtual presence technologies to deliver health care outside of provincial health-care facilities. Telehealth enables the remote diagnosis, management and treatment of many types of ailments. Telehealth enables remote residents to receive care that would not be available to them otherwise due to logistical or cost barriers.
Public Services
Public Services enables monitoring and control of public utilities - electrical (generation and distribution as well as renewable), water, sewer, gas, etc. - to make them more efficient and economical. The electrical "smart grid" is becoming smarter, integrating alternative energy sources with traditional electrical generation and distribution. With cities that have many business and private solar system for example, integrating those sources and smoothing out the use of electricity is leading many to assume that local storage, batteries usually, can be used to store excess energy during the day for use at night. Managing these kinds of facilities requires sophisticated grid management, often down to the local level - called micro-grids.
Support for Business
The economy of a city depends on a healthy, expanding business base. This goes beyond just providing high speed Internet to businesses, it means offering high bandwidth services (up to 40 Gbps) to data-centric businesses and even data centers located in the city. Cities should have plans for tech incubators and services to support and facilitate new businesses locating there.
The Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is an overused and little understood term that generally implies the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. A variety of ‘things’ that communicate over the internet, creating a communications environment that facilitates the development of logical connections for improving the quality and economics of services. It implies that Internet connections, wireless and landline, are everywhere and cheap enough to allow connecting all sorts of devices when we all know this is not currently the reality of most towns and cities.
138
Fiber as a Sensor
Fiber optic cables are suitable for a wide variety of applications that are capable of monitoring temperature, strain, acoustics and pressure. With cables suitable from 200C to 700C and pressures from ambient to 50,000psi, fiber optic cable cables can cover the most extreme of environments. Fiber can be installed in the roadbed to be used as a sensor to pick up traffic counts, speed measurement and headway measurement.
Fiber optic cables have been used for fire detection, vibration monitoring, industrial plant temperature sensing, hydrological studies of streams, lakes, reservoirs, rivers and canals, turbine temperature sensing, temperature and strain of curing concrete, temperature gradients in soil, pipeline leak and intrusion detection, cable strain monitoring, building intrusion detection, steam plant temperature and strain sensing and many more.
As driverless cars take to the roads, data generation expands exponentially — with that, comes the need for fiber infrastructure to support it. Autonomous vehicles will require widespread low-latency wireless connection to fiber networks and data centers, according to Data Center Frontier, and Intel estimates that autonomous cars could generate 4 terabytes of data per day. The rise of autonomous vehicles will demand more data centers and more robust fiber networks.
Smart Economy
The elements and technologies of a Smart City all contribute to an environment where both the citizens and local companies will find opportunities for developing new ideas that benefit from the Smart City services and facilitates entrepreneurship and operation of commercial entities.
Data Centers
A Smart City generates and uses data – enormous volumes of data - to become and stay smart. Doing so requires a significant sized data center with sufficient storage, computing power and communications to handle the quantities of data generated, analyzed and transmitted. Such a data center can be a city facility, or a cloud service hosted in the city. Data centers require big, fast Internet connections, usually with options for the data center operators to bring in their own backbone connections.
We include a data center as a required city service because Smart Cities are built on data. A large city could require a data center approaching the size of the mega-data centers being used by the large Internet companies or cloud service providers. Smaller cities need smaller data centers or cloud service providers. Provision for acquiring, analyzing, utilizing and storing such large amounts of data requires planning for facilities and the personnel to operate them as well as sufficient communications services to handle the massive amounts of data involved.
139
Partnerships
Smart cities require cooperation. Some of the services mentioned already exist in many cities but often are owned and operated by different entities. Duplicating resources is costly so sharing of resources, especially backbone fiber, is recommended, with appropriate compensation, whenever possible. For instance, a single streetlight can provide lighting, video and/or radar for surveillance and traffic management, WiFi for private and public use including vehicle communications, locations for small cell telecommunications, weather and pollution monitoring and other yet unforeseen services.
Conclusions for the MD of Greenview
The collection of Smart Cities technologies are the solutions that the MD of Greenview can put in place once it has access to a fiber network that is supported by next-generation radio solutions. While we acknowledge that the Fiber Optics Internet Connectivity Strategy is about creating this broadband infrastructure, we felt it important to include some key examples of what applications are enabled by this infrastructure.
3.2.5 Pipe in Pipe
Pipe-in-pipe is a deployment technology that uses defunct or operational pipe networks to deploy fiber optic cable. In principle, any pipe network can be used. Fiber has been deployed through unused water pipe, storm water pipes, gas pipes and active water distribution pipes.
Atlantis Hydrotec
Atlantis Hydrotec is a ‘pipe-in-a-pipe’ solution in which a special purpose, small-bore ‘Messenger Pipe’ is inserted into existing water pipelines or similar for the purposes of installing ultra-fast fiber optic communication cables.
Once the Atlantis Hydrotec solution has been installed, it is possible to install a fiber-optic communications cable within the special purpose 'Messenger Pipe' which is designed to fully isolate the cable from the water, meaning that the cable never comes into contact with the water.
Whilst Atlantis Hydrotec is designed specifically for water, it is perfectly suitable for use with other liquids, including distillates and gas.
This simple but effective solution overcomes the difficulties associated with more conventional FTTx delivery solutions: specifically, the problems relating to digging up roads and driveways to the building, costs of excavation and time to install the fiber.
• There are variants of Atlantis Hydrotec pressure fittings to suit all pipe sizes and pipe material
• The Atlantis Hydrotec pressure fittings interface with industry standard pipe saddles or flange fittings
• All 'wet-parts' are water industry approved and certified as safe to use within potable water networks by WRAS and NSF
140
• Fiber provides a fully future proofed solution with ultra-fast connectivity suitable for all Next Generation communications and SMART Water Network requirements.
• The infrastructure is already there - so why not us it? Water pipes already link Water Company asset, communities and businesses so they provide an ideal ready-made conduit for providing next-generation true fiber communications exactly where they are needed
• The Atlantis Hydrotec system is particularly appropriate for extra-urban and rural locations
• Installation is primarily trenchless, so it is rapid, cost-effective, and achieved with a bare minimum of civil works and associated disruption, plus it is a very green and eco-friendly technique.
• Uses are many and may include: o High capacity data links o True-fiber communication links for broadband access; particularly in hard to reach
rural areas o Water company control, monitoring & telemetry o Evidential grade CCTV for enhanced asset protection and new generation
homeland security measures o Distributed & real-time pipe internal condition monitoring and leak detection
combined with asset perimeter and access road security.
Current Deployments
Atlantis Hydrotec pipe-in-pipe deployments have taken place in the following jurisdictions:
• Anacortes Washington – Leak detection monitoring, Intrusion detection and FTTP • Muscat, Oman – Leak detection monitoring and FTTP network • Milan, Italy - Leak detection • Vic, Spain - Leak detection monitoring and FTTP network • Priston, United Kingdom - Leak detection monitoring and FTTP network
Conclusions for the MD of Greenview
Pipe-in-pipe deployment technologies provide another means of building fiber optic infrastructure will minimum disruption to civil infrastructure and ideally at a lower cost of traditional buried or aerial deployments. Pipe-in-Pipe technologies also provide the added capability of leak detection in the networks in which they are deployed. Such leak detection is a valuable tool in managing and maintaining water networks. These pipe-in-pipe technologies are not applicable to many fiber network builds due to the nature of the water infrastructure and/or the topology of the network, but where requirements, capabilities and applicability line up they can be an effective deployment tool.
141
4 Business Models, Governance and Funding In our experience, a regional broadband solution must involve parties from both the public and private sectors. Regional districts, urban municipalities (towns, villages), the network operator, network builder, possible retail service providers, and possible private investors are all parties that could be a part of a regional solution. In recognition of this, we have created a fiber ecosystem model that can incorporate any and all stakeholders. We have retained legal counsel specializing in public-private structures and the related infrastructure projects, including fiber optic infrastructure, that have been successfully completed. While this work is ongoing and the model continues to evolve, we present this approach and model below followed by possible sources of funding to implement the model.
4.1 Create a Fiber Ecosystem Building an ultra high-speed internet connectivity network is only part of the work necessary to ensure that the MD of Greenview’s businesses and residents have access to superior yet competitively priced internet and communication services. On top of the infrastructure it is critical to build a fiber ecosystem that will deliver the services that the market demands while providing as much choice and competition as possible. We believe the solution is to build the communication infrastructure, if desired share ownership with the MD, and then operate that infrastructure in a manner that enables competition and choice over time on the network. The connectivity infrastructure will likely integrate both fiber and wireless technologies. There are different options as to how to approach ownership of the infrastructure. In fact, it is common in modern telecommunication networks that they are an interconnection of various components each with potentially different owners. However, we believe that it is how a regional network is operated and governed that aligns it with the policy and market outcomes that Greenview is seeking. A high-level description of a possible the MD of Greenview ecosystem model is outlined below:
1. Dark Fiber and Wireless Connectivity Infrastructure – At the core of the regional network is the fiber and wireless infrastructure that provides connectivity throughout the municipal district, not just to its largest community. In rural and regional markets like the MD of Greenview, large geographic areas together with sparse population and business densities make it necessary to leverage both public and private capital to build this connectivity infrastructure. The MD of Greenview has a role to play through facilitation and direct investment in the connectivity infrastructure. The primary objective is to drive the fiber as far as possible into the municipal district to create a fiber backbone and then enable existing and net-new wireless infrastructure where fiber is not practical. Existing fiber infrastructure can be utilized where it is commercially available and leads to fulfilment of the MD of Greenview’s objectives. An engagement with existing wireless providers to determine how Greenview’s activities might support their wireless services to non-fiber-to-the-premise areas is also undertaken during this time.
142
2. Wholesale Internet Service Provider (ISP) – Once the connectivity infrastructure is in place, it should be operated in such a manner to provide the service provider market whole access to this essential infrastructure. The degree to which the infrastructure is operated on a open access basis and the timing of open access services is influenced by capital structuring and market start-up constraints. Nonetheless, large geographic areas together with sparse population and business densities mean that economies of scale have to be created to ensure services are offered throughout the municipal district. We propose those economies of scale are created by a single wholesale ISP operating the network. This single wholesale ISP installs electronics on the fiber (i.e. “lights” the fiber) and provides wholesale internet, bandwidth, IPTV and VOIP telephony services to Retail Service Providers (RSP). These RSPs will then own and manage the relationship with the end customers. Utilizing this approach effectively creates “open access” connectivity infrastructure in the MD of Greenview.
3. Retail Service Providers (RSP) – Part of the MD of Greenview’s objectives for creating connectivity infrastructure include ensuring that critical internet services are available throughout Greenview and ideally having competitive services throughout the network. This proposed ecosystem model is designed to enable competitive RSP services. In order to encourage competitive services, the wholesale ISP must exclude itself from the RSP market. While the infrastructure is being built out it may be necessary to assign a ‘preferred’ RSP that has the obligation to provider services throughout the network and in exchange is granted an exclusivity for a short period of time. However, the clear policy direction is creating a market for competitive RSP services on Greenview connectivity infrastructure.
We believe the fundamental building blocks of the fiber ecosystem presented above provide a viable market structure for creating connectivity infrastructure within the MD of Greenview. Possible approaches to ownership and governance; stakeholder engagement and funding are explored below.
4.2 Ownership and Governance Models The majority of the capital costs required for building and operating fiber connectivity infrastructure are the actual civil construction of the fiber and wireless infrastructure. For municipal districts like Greenview, the challenge is to ensure there is adequate infrastructure in place to serve residents and businesses throughout all the MD. Once capital for the connectivity infrastructure is in place it is possible for a private sector wholesale operator to build a viable business offering wholesale services on the infrastructure, creating a ‘market‘ environment. As such we believe it is appropriate to engage a private sector partner to act as the wholesale ISP and provide wholesale services on the network. Therefore, we will restrict our exploration of different ownership and governance models to the connectivity infrastructure only.
143
There are several approaches to structuring the ownership and governance of the connectivity infrastructure which can be summarized as follows: The connectivity infrastructure could be built leveraging existing privately owned networks; a new proprietary network can be created that is purpose built to serve as the MD of Greenview’s connectivity infrastructure; a strictly government owned network could be created or a hybrid ‘public-private’ partnership model can build out the network infrastructure. Each mode is explored in detail below.
4.2.1 Build on Existing Networks
The fiber ecosystem model proposed is intended to be flexible and adaptable to involve any existing networks and local service providers that may exist. The challenge with building upon existing networks is that to realize all the potential benefits of the ecosystem model a single wholesale operator must operate and offer services on the entire network. The single operator approach ensures consistency of service and price across the network. However, the owners of existing network segments typically operate them on a proprietary basis and are not incented to invite competitive services onto their infrastructure. Therefore, the only practical opportunity to leverage existing network infrastructure is when the network owner is willing to offer some or all of the capacity of their infrastructure to the wholesale ISP to operate and offer wholesale services upon.
In addition to the commercial challenges of using existing connectivity infrastructure, currently in the MD of Greenview there is no single existing fiber or wireless network that provides the desired coverage of the municipal district.
Therefore, while it is possible to assemble and build upon existing networks to create the connectivity infrastructure that the MD of Greenview requires to meet its policy mandate, there are some challenges with this approach. This approach would likely take the form of acquiring or leasing capacity on existing networks and aggregating that capacity into a corporate entity with the mandate to hold all of the necessary connectivity infrastructure to meet Greenview’s needs. This special purpose entity would look like a proprietary or public-private partnership described below.
4.2.2 Proprietary Network
Under the proprietary network model an existing entity or a new special purpose entity could be assigned the rights and obligations to build, lease or assemble the necessary connectivity infrastructure to meet the MD of Greenview’s connectivity mandate.
Assuming this proprietary network would be developed under the fiber ecosystem model that we propose, this proprietary network company would be responsible for assembling and making available the necessary connectivity infrastructure to the designated wholesale ISP. The wholesale ISP would then light the network and offer wholesale services to the retail service providers.
144
Under this model the assets of the network would be owned by the private sector shareholders or unit holders of the special purpose entity. As discussed elsewhere in this report, the rural and regional nature of the MD of Greenview means that public capital of some form ( loans, grants etc. ) will be required to build the network to the extent necessary to meet the MD of Greenview’s connectivity mandate. The lack of population and/or commercial density throughout many parts of Greenview means that the MD cannot support purely privately funded investments in connectivity infrastructure in many areas within the municipal district. The necessary contributed public capital can be sourced from the federal, provincial, municipal district and municipal levels. Often local government funding will have specific requirements or approvals attached to it. There are current federal and provincial funding programs summarized in sections below.
The advantage of a proprietary network model is that it is simple governance model that allows for the deployment of both private and public capital without the governance challenges of publicly owned corporations or public-private partnerships. If the MD of Greenview was to pursue a proprietary network model for building out connectivity infrastructure in the municipal district, it would be necessary to secure some obligation of service level, scope and term from the designated network provider.
4.2.3 Government Network
The government network model in one where all the connectivity infrastructure is paid for and owned by the local government be that provincial, municipal district, community or municipal. It is likely that taking this approach in Alberta would require the connectivity infrastructure (i.e. fiber and perhaps wireless) to be classified as an essential infrastructure so that it could funded and administered appropriately.
The downside of a completely government funded network is that it does not leverage the private sector connectivity infrastructure that exists in the market already. Furthermore, this approach does not provide the ability to leverage a shared investment model for new infrastructure created specifically for the rollout of the government network.
Under our proposed fiber ecosystem model the government network would still be made available to the wholesale ISP for lighting, operation and the provision of wholesale services. The network could be made available to the wholesale ISP through a standard telecommunication contract called an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) that assigns the contract rights and obligations for some or all of a fiber cable. The term of an IRU can be defined as required right up to the functional life of the fiber asset.
4.2.4 Hybrid Network Company
The Hybrid network company is some combination of the other three network models. Hybrid networks can utilize a number of ownership models from a stand-alone corporation to some form of public-private partnership. Ownership and governance models for such hybrids could take the form of investing in an existing company, forming a Municipal Controlled
145
Corporation or establishing a society, cooperative or trust. Fundamentally, the hybrid approach enables both private and public capital to be utilized in the construction of the infrastructure. It also recognizes where there is public capital deployed by a local government, it is appropriate to provide some level of public governance and/or ownership.
Again, the hybrid approach applies to how the communication infrastructure is capitalized, deployed and governed. However, the business scope of the wholesale ISP is not included in the scope of the infrastructure company. That is not to say the wholesale ISP can not be a shareholder of the infrastructure company. The model only limits the wholesale ISP’s activities at the retail service provider level. That is, the wholesale ISP is precluded from offering retail services to the market in order to promote competition at the retail level. However, there is no reason the wholesale ISP cannot be an owner of the infrastructure as well.
The chart below illustrates the primary attributes and roles within a hybrid network company.
Regional District / Municipality Private Sector Partner
Parties’ Roles Provide public policy mandate. Contribute capital to new builds.
Provide infrastructure expertise. Contribute capital to new builds.
Connectivity infrastructure
Facilitate rights-of-way and access
Contract construction. Operate and maintain.
Mandate Ensure availability of infrastructure. Create infrastructure to realize mandate. Create viable commercial entity.
Service Provision
User of infrastructure for public sector needs.
Provide connectivity infrastructure access to wholesale operator.
Commercial Proceeds
Provision to refresh infrastructure. Limited commercial proceeds.
Private capital returns allocated first.
Transfer of Ownership
MD of Greenview owns assets Assets could be purchased at end of a determined time period
4.3 Addressing all Stakeholders This proposed fiber ecosystem model with its dark fiber and connectivity infrastructure company recognizes that the Connectivity Strategy must address all stakeholders in the municipal district – not just the residents of the larger communities within the district. The strategy must address the smaller hamlets, farms and First Nations.
While the MD of Greenview is not directly responsible for providing service to every stakeholder in the District, it is important that the strategy recognize each stakeholder and identify how they may leverage Greenview’s infrastructure for the benefit of all. Furthermore,
146
the economies of scale created by addressing all stakeholders in the District will only increase the value of a proposed the MD of Greenview fiber optic network.
In addition to these stakeholders within the District, future activities must ensure residents, businesses and government agencies have access to programs and services that are enabled by the MD of Greenview’s fiber infrastructure. For example, the coverage for First Responders will be improved and allow them to expand their service by utilizing the fiber infrastructure that Greenview is contemplating.
If the MD of Greenview decides to proceed with creating a fiber ecosystem in the municipal district, one of the first activities will be to do a stakeholder mapping and engagement model. Organizations and entities such current ISPs, Telecoms, Cooperatives, Government entities, NGO’s, K-12 and higher education, libraries, healthcare providers and the industry and business community are all stakeholders for the ecosystem. The stakeholder engagement and mapping model identifies the various MD of Greenview stakeholders and whether they are possibly contributors to, facilitators of, or users of the connectivity infrastructure.
4.4 Funding Opportunities and Options. Regardless of the ownership and governance model that is used to structure the connectivity infrastructure company, there are a number of publicly available sources of financing.
Some of the funding agencies below provide grant funding that requires matched or prorated funding from the application. The Canadian Infrastructure Bank provides project loan financing at very attractive rates.
Regardless of the avenue of funding used, government bodies providing grant funding look favourably on regional solutions that address the digital divide that exists in rural areas of less density. The best way for the MD of Greenview, or its private sector partners, to secure grant or debt financing is for Greenview to have a well-defined connectivity infrastructure strategy and to have started funding its strategy. This will provide external funders with the confidence to support additional funding of the infrastructure.
4.4.1 CRTC Broadband Fund
The CRTC Broadband Fund (CBF) is a fund totalling $750 million over five years that has been established and administered by the CRTC. This money is allocated as $100 million in year 1, $125 million in year 2, $150 million in year 3, $175 million in year 4, and $200 million in year 5. As the first intake for applications opened in summer 2019 and closed October 2019, 2019 can be set as year 1, making 2023 year 5 of the CBF. The currently open second call deadline has been extended to June 1, 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the next intake for the CRTC Broadband Fund is unknown, it is anticipated that three more calls will follow.
The CBF is targeted at helping close the digital divide that exists in the rural areas of Canada. These areas are grossly underserved (or not served at all) due to the economic unviability of a business venture into these areas. Private companies look for returns within 2 to 3 years of a project and this simply isn’t feasible for a high-speed fiber project in sparsely populated
147
areas. Despite this, there has been research and analysis done that show making such an investment in broadband infrastructure will result in significant gains for the community, and ultimately Canada’s economy.2 The CBF is only available to inhabited areas where there is no access to internet connectivity of at least 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. This level of service has been titled as the CRTC’s Universal Service Objective (USO). These areas can be seen as green hexagons on the CRTC’s map.3
As part of an application, the CRTC Broadband Fund specifically inquires as to the community consultation and engagement activities that have taken place.
4.4.2 Canadian Infrastructure Bank
Another funding option that can be accessed is the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB). The CIB is a Crown corporation established in 2017. It has been allocated $35 billion over the span of 11 years (ending in fiscal 2027-28) to invest in infrastructure projects in Canada. The CIB will invest in projects as a means to help attract private-sector investments to those projects. Core areas for investment have been identified as: transit; trade and transport; green infrastructure; and broadband/connectivity. The CIB has a focus on “large, transformational projects that are in the public interest, linked to national strategic economic priorities, and developed and delivered in partnership with public sector sponsors and private and institutional investors.”4
The CIB made its first investment in August 2018, a $1.283 billion investment into a transit project in the Greater Montreal area. The investment will be administered via four draws and the investment has an effective blended 15-year interest rate of 1.65%.
Moving forward, the CIB has set investment goals. For 2019-20, they hope to receive 100 project proposals with a total in excess of $20 billion, shortlist 9 of those and make at least 2 investments. By 2023-24, these numbers increase to 100 proposals received with a total in excess of $30 billion, shortlist 20 and make up to 5 investments.
The CIB also provides business planning support and encourages organizations with projects to contact them early so that the project can be developed with a greater chance of receiving funding. The CIB’s decision flowchart is below.5

content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-05-%E2%80%93-CIB-Summary-CP-%E2%80%93-EN-Final.pdf 5 From: https://cib-bic.ca/en/partner-with-us/investments/project-intake/
148
The CIB provides funding via various mechanisms (debt, equity, etc.) to infrastructure projects that fall within their mandated areas; as identified above, broadband infrastructure is one such area. The CIB operates to bridge the financial gap of infrastructure projects that are not economically feasible for the private sector. This is a well-known issue for rural broadband projects, making the CIB a very valuable and viable resource. A limitation of the CIB is that their threshold of investment is $20 million at a 50/50 contribution. Thus, a project totalling $40 million with minimum of $20 million from the project sponsor(s) but be achieved before accessing CIB funding becomes an option. Working with the municipal district as a whole may be a method of amassing a project of sufficient size to meet this threshold.
4.4.3 Universal Broadband Fund
The Federal Government has announced a new Universal Broadband Fund (UBF) as part of Budget 2019. Details on the program have yet to be finalized and are expected to be released sometime in 2020. The UBF will be part of $1.7 billion being invested by the federal government into broadband infrastructure; however, this amount also includes a top up for the Connect to Innovate program, support for low-Earth orbit satellite capacity and two new surveys to measure broadband usage. The UBF will have the same target as the CBF, that being meeting the 50/10 broadband speed objective across all of Canada.
4.4.4 Economic Stimulus Post-COVID-19 Pandemic
Both provincial and federal levels of government have announced stimulus packages that will be made available to stimulate economic activities once the Covid-19 pandemic has passed. Given the known priority on broadband connectivity through existing programs such as the CRTC Broadband Fund and the Universal Broadband Fund it is expected that additional Federal and likely Provincial stimulus funding will be allocated to broadband. Details on such stimulus packages are not yet known but can be monitored and applied for once available.

Upper Smoky Task Force
Understanding Our Perspectives
Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA)
RMA Goal: Working Landscapes with Conservation Goals
1. Who are your constituents/sector? Please describe who you are representing at this Task Force.
Please let us know who you do not represent if this would be helpful.
The RMA is an advocate for Rural Municipalities of Alberta and in this role, we do not answer for
individual counties and respect their sovereignty as elected local entities. The specific counties we
represent in this Task Force include indirectly, while directly MD of Greenview and indirectly Grande
Prairie No. 1 County Yellowhead and the Conceptually, representing all rural municipalities that may
have indirect interests in the activities associated with the project area. Our sector sees this landscape
as having multiple interests and every land use decision must balance preservation with prosperity.
2. What do your Task Force colleagues need to know about your constituents’/sector’s general
priorities and/or priorities at this Task Force table? List no more than four priorities in bullet form.
Maintaining and growing the tax base to provide quality municipal services and infrastructure that
includes long term capital funding.
Providing a quality of life for our ratepayers that includes good jobs, good services, and a place to grow
families and communities and achieving all of these in a manner that is predictable and sustainable to
ensure that it is no longer based upon a boom/bust economy.
We think regionally and do not see jurisdictional boundaries or levels of government as barriers.
Instead, we work cooperatively and see land use decisions, environmental stewardship, and economic
development at this scale and need to support and champion the good stewardship of resources and
land use decisions.
We are the closest form of government to Albertans and see our leadership and advocacy as essential
to ensure that the rights of citizens to make a living, have peaceful enjoyment, and have a healthy
environment that includes viable living populations of all plants and animals. Our leadership is driven
by providing a balance of all activities and decisions on the land and ensuring that all development
decisions are made in a transparent manner with the best information possible.
3. What challenges specific to the sector you represent do you feel should be considered during the
work of the Task Force? These challenges may also be relevant to other sectors.
Diversification of the economy is critical due to the historic reliance of the cyclical nature of resource-
based industries. This diversification can be arrived upon by seeking better ways of doing things and
striving for innovation. Additionally, opportunities related to other sources of income such as tourism,
wildlife watching, hunting and fishing, and other recreational pursuits are important to the region.
162
This region is very connected to the environment and the bountiful resources that this land provides
us, and it is critical that we maintain this environment as healthy and prosperous as possible for future
generations.
4. In addition to the information and information needs we discussed at previous meetings, is there
anything else that would help you more effectively engage in Task Force dialogue and participatory
consensus building of recommendations for sub-regional planning? Consider other perspectives,
data, processes, legislation, etc.
Disruptive impacts to the livelihoods of residents of our region is of great concern. By limiting the
ability of people to make a living, to farm, and to extract resources, the livelihoods of our citizens can
be negatively impacted. This disruption can also occur by impacts that may be attributed to climate
change such as invasive species, floods, or catastrophic fires. As we have said; Our sector sees this
landscape as having multiple interests and every land use decision must balance preservation with
prosperity. Additionally, our sector wishes to ensure that we make intentional land use and
management decisions to ensure sustainability and prosperity. The bounty that this land provides
must be used, managed and protected for all. New ways of resource extraction, of species protection,
and or land use decision making must be found to maintain this balance. The key issues of a depressed
economy for both logging and oil and gas must be also reflective of the potential landscape changes
that can occur from climate change. The region will undoubtedly be extremely different from today 20
or more years from today and we need to make decisions with that very real possibility today.
In order to caribou to survive along with resource extraction that is so important to our sector we must
consider the following:
• Can we use cyclical resource extraction that can follow a cycle much like farming with
a fallow cycle (caribou use), extraction, and mitigative repair (restoration: replanting
and contouring)?
• Can we be sure of the population numbers, genetics, and ranges of caribou?
• For our communities to survive and thrive we need jobs, clean land-air-water, and the
necessary services and infrastructure to ensure prosperity. What is the role of caribou
protection in providing these jobs, clean land-air-water, and our necessary services
and infrastructure?
• What tax replacement possibilities can occur if there is a sterilization of resources or a
deferment of extraction?
• What is the role of predation and is there other management methods we can utilize
to ensure a more balance predator/prey relationship?
• What are the roles of black bear populations and predation on caribou?
• Where is there potential climate refugia that caribou would survive in?
• What metrics can be used to ensure resilient communities can be found in regions
“protected” for the sake of caribou populations?
• What steps have other provinces taken and do we need to take heroic efforts if others
are failing or if the species is unsavable?
• Is the landscape considered “healthy”, has resource extraction been efficient and
effective, and what is the role of restoration as a mechanism to increase available
habitat?

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: At the June 19, 2019 Regular Council Meeting, Council approved Policy 8002- Community Grants. Due to the volume of Grant requests this policy indicates that there are now two Grant request deadlines throughout the year, April 15th and October 15th. The revised Community Services Miscellaneous Grants approved budget is $1,000,000.00, with a current balance remaining as of May 8, 2020 of $735,385.18. The 2020 Greenview community spring grant funding requests totals $170,000.00. In an effort to aid Council in the grant review process, Administration is recommending that a decision framework be established. The following questions may be considered:
1) What types of groups or organizations should Greenview fund? 2) What is the criteria used when funding events? 3) Will Greenview fund charitable organizations? 4) Will Greenview fund groups competing with private industry? 5) Is there a degree of consistency and fairness? 6) Will funding positively impact the social/economic development of Greenview?
The grant requests have been summarized into a spreadsheet with Administration providing recommendations for Council’s consideration. BENEFITS OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION:

SUBJECT: M.D of Greenview Library Board SUBMISSION TO: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION MEETING DATE: May 19, 2020 CAO: MANAGER: DEPARTMENT: CAO SERVICES ACAO SW PRESENTER: DL STRATEGIC PLAN: Level of Service
RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite) –N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite) –N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION: That Committee of the Whole accept the presentation on the M.D of Greenview Library Board proposed bylaw change as presented. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: The M.D. of Greenview Library Board Members were not re-appointed to their roles in 2020 as the Library Board has requested some revisions to the bylaw to ensure that there are staggered appointments of Library Board Members. This helps ensure the continuity of the library boards. The original bylaw established the number of appointees and gave them a 1-year term. In discussions with the Public Libraries Service Branch, they made a few recommendations:
1. Remove the provision of the terms of appointment from the bylaw. The Act covers the staggering of appointments. It will be up to Administration and the Library Board to track the appointments to ensure they are staggered.
2. Either: a. Appoint the Members to a staggered term in June that would stagger them in the following
way: i. 2 Councillors appointed to October Organizational Meeting 2020
ii. 3 Members appointed to October Organizational Meeting 2021 iii. 2 Members appointed to October Organizational Meeting 2022.
Or,
b. Appoint members to a short term until the October Organizational Meeting and reset from there.
Appointments are required to be made at a regular interval, however, despite these appointments not conforming to that, it will allow us to reset and get back on track. With the Organizational Meeting typically
203
as the date where most appointments are made, it makes sense to target this date for the Library Board appointments as well. In researching how municipalities stagger their appointments, many of them appoint the Councillor Representative annually at the organization meeting because these terms do not align with election cycles. Once the initial appointments are on a staggered cycle, the members at large are often appointed to 3 year terms. In cases where the terms line up with election cycles, Councillors were sometimes given 2 year appointments. Committee of the Whole (COTW) may also recommend that the provision stipulating the number of Members At Large may be revised as indicated in the Alternative #1 portion of this RFD. BENEFITS OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Greenview will correct an oversight and may have staggered appointments for Library Board Members to ensure continuity.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION:
There are no perceived disadvantages to the recommended motion. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Alternative #1: COW may recommend that the provisions stating the number of Members at Large be revised to state that a maximum of 8 Members at Large may be appointed as the Act allows for a minimum of 5 Members and a maximum of 10, This would allow the board to proceed in cases where there are fewer candidates that currently stated in the bylaw, and allow for the appointment of more if there is enough interest. Alternative #2: COTW may recommend any of the options herein, or may propose additional changes. FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: There are no financial implications to the recommended motion. STAFFING IMPLICATION: There are no staffing implications to the recommended motion. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LEVEL: Greenview has adopted the IAP2 Framework for public consultation.

SUBJECT: Greenview Logo Soft Rebrand SUBMISSION TO: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION MEETING DATE: May 19, 2020 CAO: MANAGER: SS DEPARTMENT: CAO SERVICES ACAO SW PRESENTER: SS STRATEGIC PLAN: Level of Service
RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite) –N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite) –N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION: That Council accept the Greenview Logo soft rebrand presentation for information, as presented. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: Administration recently created a simplified and updated version of the original MD of Greenview logo (crest) in-house. This was done to give the existing brand a slight update and reduction of colours used, bringing it in-line with existing branding colours being used by Economic Development and other elements currently being used for Greenview marketing, thus creating cohesive Greenview branding across the organization. Administration took great care to keep important design elements of the existing Greenview logo, simplifying lines and reducing the number of colours used, as is brand development best practice. Benefits of adopting the soft rebranded Greenview logo are:
• Brand cohesiveness for Greenview marketing collateral across all departments • Reduction in number of colours will result in cost savings for decals placed on items such as
vehicle/equipment, signage, IT equipment, and infrastructure items etc. • Reduction in number of colours will result in cost savings for embroidery on promotional materials • Simplified lines in updated crest will make reproduction easier for small-scale logo placement on
promotional products, printed materials, uniforms etc. • Adoption of updated colours give the Greenview crest updated energy and vitality
Administration will be bringing the Greenview Logo to the May 25, 2020 Regular Council meeting for Council’s approval.
BENEFITS OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. The benefit of Committee of the Whole accepting the logo update is to allow time for Council members to consider and potentially adopt the changes at an upcoming Council Meeting.
210
DISADVANTAGES OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. There are no perceived disadvantages to the recommended motion. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: N/A FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: N/A STAFFING IMPLICATION: There are no staffing implications for the recommended motion. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LEVEL: Greenview has adopted the IAP2 Framework for public consultation.
