Well, after almost a year and a half of an altered state of reality, it was a real pleasure to get together on Thursday Sept 16th at the Ranch for our 2021 AMBA Golf Tournament. Although the morning started out a little chilly, the weather cooperated and everyone had a good time reconnecting with fellow steel building stalwarts. Kudos to the organizing committee and especially to Linda for a great selection of what seemed like unending prizes to hand out.
State of the Industry: October 2021
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.
