The goal of our work is to improve prosperity for all Albertans and Canadians. We believe that the business sector has a leading role to play in helping people, the economy and the environment thrive. We contribute by developing and advocating for policy solutions that enable growth in the short term, and that set Alberta on a path to a long-term sustainable future.
