November 30, Representing the development industry in sustainable growth through partnerships and relationships with all stakeholders. Urban Development Institute – Calgary 2010 Annual Report Message from the Executive Director Dear UDI – Calgary Membership: On behalf of the Urban Development Institute – Calgary, I would like to respectfully submit the 2010 year in review. What another challenging and rewarding year! While the year did not feature the frenetic pace of development of some of the previous years, it did mark the beginning of a recovery from the economic downturn bringing with it the now familiar challenges and opportunities confronting our industry – responding to growth pressures and serving the needs of Calgarians. I continue to be amazed at the dedication of the UDI membership. From the Board of Directors through to the 140 volunteers that keep things moving, UDI – Calgary is very fortunate to enjoy the dedication and expertise of it’s volunteers. By the same token, UDI – Calgary has worked hard to maintain a strong working relationship with our closest partners at the City of Calgary who benefit greatly from the work of our volunteers. As you will see in the pages of this review, there is a staggering amount of work and coordination occurring with The City. That is not to say there have not been challenges, however the strength of the relationships is such that the solutions are being found to the benefit of all Calgarians.

In closing, I would like to thank the UDI – Calgary staff for all of their hard work this past year. They make coming to work each day a pleasure. We are all looking forward to an exciting 2011!

November 30, Representing the development industry in sustainable growth through partnerships and relationships with all stakeholders. Urban Development Institute – Calgary 2010 Annual Report Board of Directors Initiatives Financing Municipal Infrastructure Report On June 30 th, 2010 City Administration released a report entitled, “Financing Municipal Infrastructure: Sharing the Capital Costs and Financial Risk of Residential Growth in Calgary”. In a joint letter from UDI – Calgary and the Canadian Home Builders Association – Calgary Region, the building and development industry came together to reject the report, largely because it did not adequately capture the spirit and intent under which they had agreed to participate in the exercise or the conclusions that were discussed. In particular, the exploration of alternative funding and financing options which enhance the transparency, accountability and responsibility of the costs of growth were not addressed.

November 30, Representing the development industry in sustainable growth through partnerships and relationships with all stakeholders. Urban Development Institute – Calgary 2010 Annual Report Board of Directors Initiatives Votecalgary.ca In the summer of 2010, our industry launched votecalgary.ca, an interactive initiative aimed at educating and engaging the almost 30,000 Calgarians who work in Calgary’s housing and development sector to vote in the City’s October 18 municipal election. Through the votecalgary process we engaged over 75 candidates on our website, conducted 50 candidate videos, held face to face candidate meetings, hosted two very successful candidate forums, released professional polling on all 14 wards and produced an education package dispelling misconceptions about our industry. Through these strategies we have broken down barriers with City Council and the general public for our industry. By modeling the open and transparent approach we expect of government we have positioned ourselves as thought leaders, information resources and, most importantly, we have opened up doors to have the important conversations we need to have to be successful in our businesses.
