It is certainly a good time to live and work in Alberta! With COVID in the rearview mirror and the provincial election behind us, the focus should now be on improving the economy. With a large provincial surplus, Alberta has led the country on a per capita basis in attracting people from within Canada and abroad to relocate here. This migration will increase the demand for housing and other services creating new business opportunities. With a number of multi-billion dollar projects being proposed for Western Canada in the resource sector, the construction industry should get ready for some very busy times.

As always, the demand for skilled labour remains high. Attracting new employees and investing in training and skill development will be key to success. Do your part by supporting Alberta Apprenticeship programs!
