"MR" designation to the Park pursuant to section 672(2) of the MGA.
Such further and other relief as this Honourable Court deems just and appropriate in the
circumstances.GROUNDS FOR MAKING THIS APPLICATIO!
The Plaintifif are permitted by Alberta law to apply for the relief requested.
a. They may apply for a declaration under section 11 of the Judicature Act, RSA
2000, ¢ J-2, (the "Judicature Act") and rules 7.1 and 7.2 of the Alberta Rules of Court,
Alta Reg 124/2010 (the "Rules");
b. They may apply for an injunction order under section 13(2) of the Judicature Act
and rule 1.3 of the Rules.
c. They may apply for an order direeting an action under section 8 of the Judicature
Act and rule 7.3 of the Rules.
‘This court has the power to grant such relief under the Judicature Act and the Rules.
‘The Calgary Board has declared the Park surplus to school needs, The Calgary Board
failed to transfer the Park to the City of Calgary. Pursuant to section 672 of the MGA, the
Calgary Board was obligated to transfer the Park to the City of Calgary
672(1) Ifa school board holds an interest in a school reserve, municipal and
school reserve or municipal reserve under this Part or the former Act and declares
that the reserve is surplus to the school board’s needs, the school board
transfer its interest in the land to the municipality where the reserve is located, for
the consideration agreed on between them.
(emphasis added)
Section 672(2) of the MGA provides:
672(2) On the registration in a land titles office of a transfer of land or an interest
in land under subsection (1), the Registrar must designate the land as municipal
reserve,
Section 200 of the School Act, RSA 2000, ¢ 8-3, as amended thereto and the regulations
thereunder (the "School Act"), reinforces that the Defendant was to comply with the
MGA,200(2) Subject to this section, the regulations, Part 17 of the Municipal
Government Act and the Public Lands Act, a board may, with the written
approval of the Minister, sell, lease, rent or otherwise dispose of any of its real
property.
(emphasis added)
10. FrancoSud does not own the Park so they cannot develop the Park. While FrancoSud is
registered as the legal owner of the Park, this registration is invalid. The Park should be
in the title and possession solely of the City of Calgary because the Calgary Board
declared the Park surplus to its needs under section 672 of the MG, By declaring the
Park surplus to its needs, the Calgary Board was required to transfer its ownership in the
Park to the City of Calgary.
