dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to analyse the waste stream of a small community subjected to tourist pressure in order to establish a viable waste minimization program. The goal of the Park is to reduce the waste by 50% by the year 2000. To accomplish this, the Municipal Solid Waste stream was analyzed to determine composition and generation rate. The final part of the thesis deals with transportation of waste within the Park and out of the Park. Transportation is a major cost factor in any waste management program and must be examined with care. The results indicate that organic waste and paper products are the largest element in the waste-stream. Recommendations for reducing waste include cardboard-paper recycling and composting organic material.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
