Let’s make an impact

“For our students and young leaders to identify with future careers and occupations in Alberta they must be exposed to the innovation, technology, entrepreneurship and inclusivity taking place in our province. Alberta innovators are making great strides to add to our low-emission and renewable energy mix, addressing climate imperatives and the need for environmental stewardship, meeting sustainability goals and driving us closer to net zero.”
