Irma Days always a highlight of summer
The Irma Agricultural Society’s Bench Fair was a popular place to enjoy old-fashioned horticultural, creative, and other exhibits. See more photos from the weekend inside! Patricia Harcourt Editor
A giant parade Saturday morning was a grand highlight for the 2024 Irma Days festivities last weekend. With the fine warm weather, the streets were packed with parade watchers. It didn’t seem to matter that the route had changed. This year, the focal point had moved from main street to the area that runs past the school and arena. With renovations along main street not yet completed, the parade
did not appear to suffer from the change. In fact, this parade featured a long line of entries and plenty of candy for kids to scramble after along the streets. It began with championship Irma Tigers ball players and ended with the fire trucks. Both received great applause from the crowds - the first for their provincial wins and the last for the firefighters who volunteered to fight the Jasper wildfire. The Irma Fire Department held a breakfast before the
parade that fed 700 plus hungry people. All week, curling was intense at the Irma Summerspiel with 50 teams participating. The Kids’ Zone activities following the parade were an immense hit on diamond one on the sports grounds. There was also plenty of slopitch ball for ball lovers to watch. The New Horizon’s Centre a luncheon after the parade for hungry parade watchers. Following that, the Irma Agricultural Society’s Bench Fair in the school
auditorium provided the opportunity to view horticultural and other fair exhibits. People could also attend the Elks Gun Show in the arena across the street. Both events were held on Saturday and Sunday. The final event, the Kids’ Rodeo, was supposed to take place on Monday but was rained out. It was another successful three-day extravaganza for the village which was made possible through the work of many community-minded volunteers.

OPINION

Hon. Damien Kurek Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament
Status of Women committee tainted with partisanship This past weekend I happened to see a story about the House of Commons status of women committee recent meeting. Apparently during a meeting about intimate partner violence and how the criminal justice systems treats it, two invited witnesses stopped participating, turned their backs to the committee, and then left the meeting, reportedly in tears. Cait Alexander and Megan Walker, the two witnesses, personally gave testimony about how many female victims of domestic assault and murder were victimized by men who were out on bail or parole, or free under other conditions set by the courts. Alexander wasn’t just a victim advocate, in her case, she was also a victim. She recounted where her former husband couldn’t find his car keys and subsequently beat her for four straight hours. “... with his fists, his feet, a wooden rolling pin.... He split my head open in three places, gouged my eyes with his thumbs, kicked my ribs, and tortured me in ways I can feel but I can’t fully describe,” she recounted to the committee. “And after that, guess what? Your criminal justice system gave me a peace bond. All eight charges ... were stayed against my ex....” After telling her own story, she recounted multiple other cases where the Canadian justice system couldn’t protect women in peril. At that same hearing, the Deputy Chief of the Peel Police force testified that 29 per cent of homicides in Canada in 2022 were committed by people who were free on some sort of statutory release. He further recounted activities of the previous week, where 18 men had been arrested for car jacking and home invasions in Peel. Fifteen of the suspects were held for bail hearings, and by the time the press conference of the arrests was held nine of them had already been released by the courts. But back to Alexander and Walker. After their testimony, which was largely ignored, a Liberal MP complained that they weren’t provided an opportunity to call their own witnesses, and defended their government’s criminal justice record. That same Liberal MP then made a motion to have the committee discuss abortion instead, abruptly changing the subject and refusing to acknowledge the information presented by the witnesses. Both Liberal and NDP committee members then voted to pass the motion. The Liberal MP accused the Conservative committee members - in the meeting and to their faces - of calling Alexander and Walker to testify to bolster the Conservative’ message about the “broken justice system.” The two witnesses were left feeling used and abused, and their very real concerns were largely ignored because of political games played by Liberal and NDP committee members. Alexander has asked for a public apology for being accused of bolstering the Conservative message, saying she’s non-political. Imagine the pain of being a victim of Canada’s ‘catch and release’ system for violent criminals, and then being insulted and ignored when trying to tell your story to the very people who need to hear how their laws affect real people. It’s deplorable that these women had to endure this because politics got in the way of victim’s justice and must-needed change.

Stop the Crime Crime rates have soared under the Trudeau Liberal Government. The NDPLiberals’ catch-and-release policies are not working for Canadians. Instead, they have made our communities less safe and provided a haven for criminals, both petty and violent. Our streets are more dangerous, with the statistics showing a severe increase in violent crime and crimes being committed by those out on bail have increased tenfold. Our homes, backyards, playgrounds, and public spaces are becoming more dangerous and hostile for everyday, law-abiding Canadians. It is time for the Liberal Government to abandon its soft on crime approach and start ensuring consequences are felt by criminals instead of Canadians. While this is something I often hear from constituents, last week Stats Canada released numbers that prove this fact. That facts are that Canadians are less safe today than they were nine years ago. Here in Alberta, in the region in and around Edmonton, Violent Arms Offences are up 140 per cent, despite all the sweeping firearm reforms this Government chose to introduce to curb these numbers. Extortion, at the same time, is up over 400 per cent. A crime which used to have a mandatory minimum sentence now seemingly goes unpunished, resulting in a dramatic increase in extortion cases. This is just the beginning; the numbers in the Calgary area mirror these and are similar in so many communities across Canada. Canadians should be able to feel safe in their communities, both rural and urban. Yet, after nine years of Justin Trudeau, that is no longer true. Crimes such as auto theft and property break-ins, are both up. Both types of crimes have a drastic impact on our rural communities and the victims’ livelihoods and well-being. These crimes continue to go unanswered by our justice system, and offenders are allowed back on the streets within a matter of days, sometimes even hours. With more resources being devoted to crimes that are committed by a few criminals who should be behind bars, this makes a mockery of our justice system and puts unnecessary strain on law enforcement. It was not like this before Justin Trudeau and under Pierre Poilievre and a Conservative government, we will fix this broken system. Hardened criminals and repeat offenders will serve time for their crimes with more than a slap on the wrist. Reforms will include scrapping lenient bail policies and re-introducing mandatory minimums for crimes such as extortion and auto theft. Further, we will stop the Liberal/NDP plan to legalize hard drugs and provide treatment for those facing addiction, and we will develop a real strategy to reduce recidivism. These steps will go a long way to ensuring the safety and protection of Canadians. It has been a series of Liberal policies changes which have led to these problems, something reiterated by those in law enforcement, both locally and across the nation. Those in our legal system and who work in our police forces and put their lives on the line daily must be able to do their jobs. This is one of the issues I have heard so much about this summer, as I have been speaking with so many of you across Battle River - Crowfoot. If you have a personal story about how the increase in crime has affected you or ideas on how to fix the problem, I welcome you to reach out and share it with me. I take representing you seriously; you have made it clear that reforms in our legal system are desperately needed.

WORD ON THE STREET
RCMP deal with multiple erratic drivers Barb Chrystian 780-385-0631 On July 29, police received a request regarding the issuance of water bills from the town. The complainant was advised this was not a police matter and they should speak with their landlord or the town. That afternoon, police assisted Edmonton Police Service with the service of an emergency protection order. The subject was located and the order was served. That same afternoon, police received a complaint of a traffic collision on Highway 619. The complainant advised they were travelling eastbound on the highway when a semi truck swerved into their lane of traffic. The complainant advised they swerved to miss the semi but it swiped their truck causing damage to the mirror and to the holiday trailer it was pulling. Police were unable to
locate the semi due to the lack of description and no licence plate information was obtained. On July 30, police received a complaint of an erratic driver. The complainant advised of a semi truck that was passing and causing oncoming traffic to pull over to avoid a head on collision. A licence plate was provided to police and the investigation into this complaint is ongoing. That afternoon, police received a complaint of a truck stolen from Kinsella. The complainant advised his house was broken into and the keys to his truck were located. The suspects then used the keys to steal his truck. This matter is still under investigation. On July 31, police received information of the possible location of
the stolen truck from Kinsella. All information was obtained, and further investigation is being done. Later that afternoon, police responded to a complaint of a disturbance in Viking. Members attended the location and spoke with the complainant who advised a family next door was arguing and one of the subjects threw an object at the complainant’s house. A rock was located near the damage; mischief charges are pending against a 26 year-oldmale. On August 2, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14 near Bruce. Members made patrols to Holden, and contacted the complainant who advised the vehicle was near Tofield. Tofield RCMP were advised of the complaint.
On August 4, police assisted EMS with an aggressive male who was to be transported to the health centre. Later that afternoon, police received a complaint of an impaired driver. Police located the vehicle and a traffic stop was conducted. The driver provided a sample of her breath on the roadside screening device which registered as a “Pass.” Police observed the subject to have slow and delayed reactions when requested to complete tasks. Police conducted a field sobriety test on the driver which she failed. Members proceeded under the provincial IRS program which resulted in an immediate driver’s licence suspension for 24 hours. The vehicle was also seized and towed. Viking RCMP

Vialta Lodge Residents say farewell to staff member Marion R. Cottrell Summer is marching right along, blessing us with some very warm days and some with moisture falling. We’ve had our fair share of windy days but thankfully no tornadoes in our area. We take what we get and be grateful for each day. Vialta Lodge has the privilege of welcoming Lorraine Culbert as a resident. We trust you will quickly feel comfortable and welcomed in this new setting for you. One evening, in the latter part of July, there was
a farewell gathering for one of our kitchen workers. Juan Sanchez had been employed for three years at Vialta. He and his wife have gone to Korea to visit her family for four months. When they return to Canada they will be settling in a larger centre. He has been a valuable and friendly employee and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Best wishes to both of them as they begin a new phase in their lives. August birthdays include Ellen Loveseth, Annie Naslund and Connie Fornal.
Happy Birthday to each of you. Activities and entertainment for this month begin with “Ralph and Friends” coming on Friday, August 9, at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 13, a shopping trip to Camrose is planned. Thursday, August 22 at 1:30 p.m. your calendar says “Trip to the Gazebo.” I don’t know about you but that makes me curious about what that may reveal! Friday, August 23 at 10 a.m. a summer stroll is planned and then at 10:30 a.m. there will be “Harp

Music with Lisa.” That will definitely be worth coming to listen to. Monday, August 26 at 10:30 a.m. will again feature a summer stroll. I trust the weather will cooperate for a pleasant time. On Friday, August 30 at 1:30 p.m. “Jim Davis and Friends” will once again come to entertain us. This is always an enjoyable afternoon. Here are some “wacky definitions” for you to enjoy: Awe: Wow of silence; Cabbage: The age of a cab; Conscience: What makes you worry about what it couldn’t stop you from doing; Cartoon: A song sung in an automobile; Paradise: Two ivory cubes with dots all over them; Compliment: The applause that refreshes; Filing Cabinet: A place where you lose things alphabetically; Kindred: Fear that relatives are coming to stay; Halo: A greeting used by angels. Enjoy the remainder of your summer.
BRSD Updates Continued from Page 5 Building Location: Final removal of equipment and supplies 9. Complete Service Requests: Outstanding requests from previous year “Although this past school year was exceptionally busy with the Division Office buildings move, we always prepare for a heavy summer project list,” says Ken Robitaille, Director of Technology. “The efficiency of our team is crucial while wrapping up one school year and beginning the next, and summer months provide that window of opportunity for us to ensure a successful transition.” The BRSD facilities crew is also tackling some major projects during July and August while schools are unoccupied. Some project highlights include: 1. New Norway School: Boiler replacement 2. École Sifton School: Parking lot repair 3. École Camrose Composite High School: Floor-
ing replacement in four classrooms 4. École Camrose Composite High School: Science/CTS roof replacement 5. Killam Public School: Gym floor sand, reline and resurface The Facilities Office has 70 projects planned for the summer with a budget of $1.37 million. In addition to the highlighted projects, five school gyms are being refinished and six video surveillance systems are being upgraded. A security system upgrade was launched in 2019 and the last two schools, Bawlf and Bashaw, were completed this summer, finalizing the entire project. Finally, a comprehensive mechanical system maintenance program was also kicked off this summer. This preventative maintenance program looks at all school mechanical systems to ensure they are ready for the upcoming heating season. BRSD is excited for a successful 2024-25 school year and hopes that families, students and staff will enjoy upgraded systems and spaces.

Over halfway through Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, Canada has 17 medals Kari Janzen Staff Reporter
The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics began on Friday, July 26, and will conclude this Sunday, August 11. Canada sent 337 athletes for this year’s games, and, at press deadline, they had earned five gold, four silver, and eight bronze medals in nine disciplines. Eight of those medals have been won in the pool, with four of them going to 17-year-old Summer McIntosh from Toronto, ON. She won gold medals in the 200metre Butterfly, 200m Individual Medley, 400m Individual Medley, and silver in the 400m Freestyle. According to Global News, she is the first Canadian athlete to win three gold medals at one Olympics Games, Summer or Winter. McIn-
tosh also set an Olympic record in the 200m Individual Medley event, with a time of 2:06:56. In men’s swimming, Josh Liendo of Toronto, ON, won silver in the 100m Butterfly, while Ilya Kharun of Montreal, QC, won bronze in the same event. It was reported that this was the first time since 2012 that Canadian men’s swimmers have won medals, and the first time since 1976 that two Canadians have stood on one podium. Kharun also won bronze in the 200m Butterfly, being the first Canadian man to win a medal in that event, and also achieved a record time for Canada, 1:52:80. In the women’s 200m backstroke, Kylie Masse of Lasalle, ON, won bronze, in Fencing, Eleanor Harvey from Hamilton, ON, won bronze in women’s indi-
vidual foil. In Diving, Rylan Wiens, born in Calgary, AB, and living in Saskatoon, SK, and Nathan Zsombor-Murray, of Montreal, QC, won bronze in the men’s synchronized 10m platform. Felix Auger-Aliassime, from Montreal, QC, and Gabriela Dabrowski from Ottawa, ON, won bronze in mixed doubles tennis, Wyatt Sanford, born in Kennetcook, NS, won bronze in men’s 63.5-kilogram boxing, and in Athletics, Ethan Katzberg of Nanaimo, BC, won gold in the men’s hammer throw. Canadian Christa Deguchi, born in Japan, won gold in the women’s 57kg Judo, Sophiane Méthot from Varennes, QC, won bronze in Gymnastics - Trampoline, the women’s Rugby Sevens team won silver, and the women’s Eight Rowing team won silver.

All the volunteers who helped with a very successful Irma Days weekend are much appreciated. The fire department provided breakfast for over 700 people on Saturday morning. More than 50 teams took part in the annual Summerspiel and there was lots of slo-pitch action. Wet conditions Monday meant the kids’ rodeo was cancelled. The new trees and planters are in place on Main Street as the project nears completion. There will be a Celebration of Life for Arnold Dyer at Albert Hall on August 24 at 3 p.m. Congratulations and best wishes to Mack Haun and Sarah McNary on their marriage. Our community was saddened to hear that Rita (Lovig) Lewis
passed away recently and we extend condolences to her family. Scott and Cassidy Staden welcomed daughter Molly Lynn in Edmonton on July 17, a playmate for big brother Waylon. She is a granddaughter for Marvin and Denise Holt and Kent
and Debbie Staden of Mannville and a greatgranddaughter for Marjorie Crawford. The new baby is named after her great-greatgrandmother Molly Thurston. Weather conditions look cooler after a widespread rain on Monday.
In soccer, the Canadian women’s team was eliminated after a 4-2 loss to Germany in the quarterfi-
nals. “The team’s campaign was less than ideal after being involved in a drone
spying scandal that saw multiple staff members undergo suspensions,” Global News reported.

County donates half of funds for new gables at Viking Seniors Centre
PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTOS The Viking Seniors Centre got a face lift last week with the addition of white vinyl gables replacing the former old cedar siding. The project came courtesy of equal funding from the centre itself and Beaver County’s community support grant program.

Patricia Harcourt Beaver County provided funding to add a new decorative feature to the Viking Seniors Centre. The new gables currently gracing the centre were added last week with the work of Bird Bros. of Viking. The county provided half of the funds, or $3,925, of the $7,850 total cost. The seniors centre providing the other half, said Garry Wolosinka, former seniors society president. The county’s portion came from its Community Support Grant program. From these funds the county council twice a year divvies out money to groups and organizations who apply for local projects and activities. The money for the new gables was applied for and granted last fall. These county grants are derived from a reserve funding based on annual dividends received from Claystone Waste Ltd., said County Councillor Dale Pederson. Pederson represents Division 5 and came out to see the work along with Wolosinka, who was in office last fall when the centre applied for county funds.
Work on the project started with the removal of the old cedar siding on the building. The siding taken off was about 30-years-old. Then Bird Bros. employees Zach Darling and Kelton McClemants went to work
putting up the new white vinyl gables. By the end of the week, the results of the new gables were visible above the door of the centre.

More boots on the ground to fight rural crime Patricia Harcourt There are new surveillance teams led by Alberta Sheriffs are now working with local police in an effort to make rural communities safer. That’s the word from Alberta RCMP who said that “rural crime continues to be a top concern among residents and businesses in rural Alberta.” The enhanced surveillance and other crime reduction initiatives are underway. Alberta Sheriffs are getting $4.3 million from the government to put “more boots on the ground. Two plainclothes
teams will work to support police in conducting surveillance on criminal targets in rural areas. “Both teams are now fully staffed and operational, ready to fight crime in rural areas across Alberta,” the Alberta RCMP announce. They will operate to fight crime, monitor agricultural theft and work in collaboration with local law enforcement to share intelligence and resources to keep Albertans and their property safe and secure. Mike Ellis, minister of public safety and emergency services, stated: “Criminals and organized crime are
not welcome in Alberta. Full Stop. “The addition of two new surveillance teams will further support our law enforcement partners in stamping out criminal activity in Alberta’s rural areas.” Ellis added: “This is about supporting local investigators to address local crime in our smaller communities. “Together both teams will form another key component of Alberta’s efforts to combat crime and ensure Albertans feel safe at home and in their communities, regardless of where they live.” The new two teams fill a surveillance
gap for rural RCMP detachments undergoing local investigations, and work to disrupt crime in local rural communities. This is done by targeting known criminals to remove them from the community, thus lowering the crime rate significantly as it is known fewer criminals commit more of the crime. “The creation of these new surveillance teams will help augment our ongoing crime reduction strategies in Alberta communities,” said Trevor Daroux, assistant commissioner and criminal operations officer for Alberta RCMP.
sioned a study to determine what the regional ag socieities should be doing going into the future. The firm Deloitte has been hired for the study and resulting recommendations. Changing circumstances are cited as the reason for requiring the study. “Regional agricultural societies are a huge part of Alberta communities and a lot has changed since they were established more than a century ago,” states R.J. Sigurdson, minister of agriculture and irrigation. “We know they do great work,” he added. “Now we need ro understand their challenges and opportunities to better position our agriculture sector and rural communities for success.” Ag societies this year received $11.5 million in grant funding. Of that, $2.8 million went to the regional societies. Other funding also helps local ag societies make major repairs to infrastructure through the Agricultural Societies Infrastructure Revitalization Program. Last year, 34 ag societies got a total of
$2.5 million in such funding. “Agricultural societies are part of the backbone of farm and rural communities,” states the government in its announcement of the study, which will be done through Sustainable CAP’s (Canadian Agricultural Partnership) resiliency and public trust program. The amount of funding for the study was not released. The program is funded by all levels
of government to strengthen competitiveness, innovation and resiliency in the agriculture, agri-food and agribased products sector. Alberta is the first province to declare a special day for its agriculture societies. September 21 is Agriculture Societies Day in Alberta. It “recognizes the hard work of these volunteer-driven non-profit organizations,” states the release.
Alberta studying regional ag societies Patricia Harcourt
A study is being conducted by the province on “how to best support its seven regional agricultural societies.” There are 291 agricultural societies in Alberta, which is the most of any other province. But there are also seven regional agricultural societies under which the community-based societies operate. In Beaver County, there are agricultural socieities in Tofield, Ryley, Holden, Bruce, Viking and Kinsella. Regional ag societies are operated out of Camrose, Lloydminister, Red Deer, Olds, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. The province says “they play a huge role in their surrounding communities,” by developing educational programs, organizing major community events and providing services based on community needs. They also run major facilities such as trade centres and exhibition grounds for their members to enjoy. But the government has commis-
Bruce Stampede parade ‘one of the biggest in a long time’ Patricia Harcourt
Every year the Bruce Parade puts on a tremendous show and this year was no exception. In fact, parade organizer and judge Shirley Reithmayer said there were more entries than ever this year. "This was one of the biggest parades we've had in a long time, with 29 entries,” she said. The line was so long that, as she was sending out the last entries, which were the fire trucks, the first entries were circling back to the starting area. This year’s first place winners for the 2024 Bruce Stampede Parade were: Commercial - Austin Bonham; Antique Car - David Oracheski; Non-Commercial - Vegreville and District Chamber of Commerce;
Novelty - Bruce Hotel; Best Antique - Dudley Lund; Heavy Horse Team - Andy Koch; Light Horse Team - Sheldon Stayura; Mules and Donkeys - Outlaw Coulee Mules, Lamont; Best Dressed Cowboy 13 and Under John Jober; Best Dressed Cowgirl 13 and Under Jacee Jober; Best Saddle Horse - Ashley Zwarich; Best Decorated Horse and Rider 14 and Over - David Pooke; Best Decorated/Costume 14 and Over - Sheriff's Posse. The Bruce Stampede was held July. 26 to 28 with the parade and professional rodeo happening on Sunday, July 28. The Stampede community marked 110 years and is known as one of the biggest little rodeos in Canada.

Summer distractions can leave Troll Park volunteers to vacationers open to auto theft get appreciation barbeque Patricia Harcourt Editor
With the summer months upon us, thoughts turn to pleasant distractions that might leave us open to thieves taking advantage. Alberta RCMP is reminding the public that due to summer activities, people often are not following their usual routines. This includes pending more time away from home and driving to vacation destinations. There is likely an even greater need at this time to protect your belongings. “Don’t let the fun distract you,” say police. “Protect yourself against theft of, and from, vehicles.” And the statistics for last year back up that cautionary note with
8,710 auto thefts in the province where RCMP have jurisdiction. Plus, in the first six months of this year, there have already been 3,932 auto thefts with trucks being the main attraction to steal. RCMP tips to prevent auto and other theft while on vacation include always locking your vehicle, even if just running into the store to grab an item quickly. All windows should be closed before leaving the vehicle. Also, it helps to park the vehicle in plain sight and in a well-lit area. It is recommended to park it in a locked garage, if possible. If it isn’t, park it in a way that a thief couldn’t easily move it. Of course, never give an opportunistic advantage by leaving your keys
or garage door openers in the vehicle. Thieves can take the garage door opener, personal documents and use it to enter your home. And don’t store important documents and other personal belongings in the vehicle. Also remove enticing loose change and other valuables. RCMP will be using #AutoRoutine to provide information on how to keep vehicles safe this summer. They can be followed on Facebook (@RCMPAlberta) and X (@RCMP Alberta) for tips and reminders to help reduce thefts of, and from, vehicles this summer. Anything considered suspicious should be reported to your local police service.

A barbeque luncheon for “Friends of the Troll Park” volunteers will be held to show appreciation for the volunteers who came forward this spring to spruce up the park. The community volunteers who wanted to help with maintenance at the park are part of a new town initiative to maintain flower beds, artifacts and signage in the park. The volunteers meet weekly to help with park maintenance and getting the park ready for spring and summer when many visitors come to visit. The appreciation will appropriately be held in the park by the town. “We have created this
opportunity to say thank you for the handful of volunteers who stepped up this spring and took on Troll Park,” says Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the Town of Viking Doug Lefsrud. “The folks being recognized have been working these past months, weeding, chopping, cutting and planting in order to spruce up the park,” he said.
“As well, rebuilding and painting some of the bird houses, wooden park characters and repairs on the existing wooden park structures were done by the volunteers.” Joining the volunteers will be summer students and members of town council. The park is adjacent to the CN Station House and Tea Room.

Rowswell attends US Conference Caanadian Prairrie Pickers Patricia Harcourt Editor
V e r m i l i o n Lloydminster-Wainwright MLA Garth Rowswell joins two other MLAs attending the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Legislative Summit. The delegation will promote Alberta’s interests as they pertain to energy, pipelines, trade, and investment and the economy. Rowswell, along with Airdrie-East Angela Pitt and Athabasca-BarrheadWestlock Glen Van Dijken, represent Alberta to lawmakers from 60 states. The conference takes place in Louisville, Kentucky, from Aug. 3-8. The annual summit is the largest gathering of legislators and business leaders that occurs in the United States. The visit is being described as “a platform to build valuable connections with decision makers and advance Alberta’s priorities on key issues spanning energy, cross border pipelines and mutually beneficial policies that promote trade, investment and economic development.”
The three MLAs will also attend NCSL’s International Advisory Council where they will lay the groundwork with US officials on Alberta’s participation and role. Rowswell calls the meetings vital for relations between the two countries. He said: “The US is a
crucial friend and trading partner to Alberta and further strengthening that relationship is a priority for out province. “This summit is an opportunity to share Alberta’s story and learn more about the policies and issues facing our counterparts at the state level.”
The conference itself has since 1975 promoted cooperation and information exchanges between state legislatures in the US and Canada, among other countries. Alberta is an affiliate member of the organization since earlier this year when it formalized its role with NCSL.
