This week, I had the opportunity to sit down with two groups that play a critical role in keeping Alberta strong.
From the Building Trades of Alberta to the Western Dairy Council, these are the people who build our province and keep it running.
🏗️🥛 Skilled trades workers are powering our growth, delivering the infrastructure we need, and creating opportunity for thousands of Albertans. At the same time, our dairy producers are feeding families, supporting rural communities, and driving economic stability across the province.
