The Calgary Regional Partnership remains without the support of two of the key municipalities surrounding the big city: the Municipal District of Foothills and Rocky View County.
The Calgary Metropolitan Plan, which focuses on land use and water management, was developed in 2009 but has yet to be accepted by the provincial government. The partnership announced that it would accept mediation on the plan through Alberta Municipal Affairs. What that will yield remains to be seen, but it's clear the partnership will be looking for new leadership come fall when its chair, Cochrane Mayor Truper McBride, steps down.
