Executive Director Report: Fall 2021
What an unprecedented time the world has just gone through! After close to 18 months of battling COVID-19, Canada is starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. On July 1st, Alberta removed the majority of the health restrictions. However, the dark cloud of variants still lurks. The key weapon in the battle is vaccination and thankfully Alberta's vaccination numbers improve daily. Alberta still very much relies on the energy sector. With oil prices breaking $75/barrel there is new optimism in the oilpatch. As the various energy companies return to profitability we will see dollars reinvested, creating jobs and economic growth. At the same time natural gas pricing has recovered. Supply is at low levels and demand has been growing. The hydrogen sector is heating up and attracting both government and private sector investment. Combined they will be a significant economic driver for Alberta. The demand for construction services should start to see some tangible increases.

What's New: Solar Power, the Key to a Clean Energy Future
A standing seam metal roof, combined with Photovoltaic arrays, makes great economic ‘cents’. With a 30-year power source, on a 40-year roof, you can lower your carbon footprint while reducing your operating expenses. The PF Flush-mounted bracket saves installation time and your initial investment cost.

AMBA Membership Committee Update: July 2021
Hot enough for you? And I don’t just mean the weather. Things seem to be heating up in Alberta as we look forward to our provincial “reopening” on Canada Day. Regardless of our individual feelings on COVID measures, let’s hope for, and work towards a respectful return to regular life. Whether you are in favour of, or opposed to masks and vaccines, let’s respect each other’s personal choices without judgment.
