Happy New Year to all. A new year brings optimism for better days ahead. Let us hope we are in the FINAL Covid wave!

It is hard to believe that that we have been living with COVID-19 for a year and a half. We have endured three waves of the disease thus far and have yet to reach the peak of the worst fourth wave. Although we have a ticket to freedom from lockdowns; ironically, many eligible Albertan’s are still reluctant to accept the vaccine. As our hospitals fill to the brim and more ICU beds are added, the cracks in our health care system are evident. Our government had no alternative but to act. Like it or not, we must protect our health care system and our economy – they are intertwined. Navigating the more aggressive variant has proven to be economically disruptive and socially and politically divisive. Provinces that have managed to better control the infections will be rewarded with a healthier workforce, a more productive economy, and will be better positioned to attract labour, investment and tourism.

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.
