Sara's Article

An article written by Sara-Jane Gruetzner for the Alberta Association of Landscape Architects that gives some history of the Urban Parks Program. Please don't copy/publish this article without permission.

   
Basic Presentation

This powerpoint presentation should take about 15 minutes depending on your edits and delivery. You can customize the presentation to your situation with some changes suggested in the speaking notes (use notes to view to access). You can edit (add, delete, change) text boxes, pictures and slides. Low resolution pictures are sufficient for presentations and will allow the presentation to run faster.

Enhanced Presentation

Presentation content is the same as the basic presentation; however, some of the slides with a longer message (speaking notes) have slide overlays that will change the picture 2 or 3 times while speaking to that slide. The script contains cues suggesting where you can manually change to the next picture (same as changing to next slide). Since this uses overlays it is more difficult to edit pictures (but it can be done).

 

 

Minister Presentation

An altered form of the Basic Presentation that was given to the Minister responsible for Alberta Community Development on August 8th, 2004.

Presentation to Calgary City Council

Well it was prepared for the presentation to Council, but I must admit, I really altered the presentation when I got there. This shows how you can (and should) add in relative information to your centre when presenting to your MLA or Council members. I've added some slides and combined a couple of slides. It is significantly different than the basic presentation, especially the speaking notes.

 

 

Additional Slides

These are some additional slides that you might want to add to your presentation or use for questions. A blank slide template is included if you wish to use this to make up your own slide.
