Dear friends and neighbours,
February 2020 is upon us. During this month Albertans will celebrate Family Day. This is a great time to spend time with family members and to get out and enjoy the best that Alberta has to offer.
Alberta is home to some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world, and they get even more beautiful during the winter months. This winter, consider spending time in nature in Alberta. A walk in Fish Creek Provincial Park or maybe snowshoeing in K Country. Alberta Parks also offer year-round, winter campground and backcountry camping for adventurers who want to tent or use their trailer or RV.
Alberta is a wonderful place to live and to do business. We are working hard to make it even better. I am pleased to announce that the Innovation Capital Working Group will report at the end of this month providing government with advice on how to incentivize private capital investment in the province’s tech and innovation ecosystems. This working group includes representatives from key areas of Alberta’s tech, business, academic and financial communities.
We are also working to make the necessary changes to ensure that automobile insurance is affordable, accessible and sustainable. In December, a committee was appointed to provide recommendations on how to stabilize and reduce the cost of auto insurance, while ensuring injured Albertans are protected with appropriate treatment and compensation in recovery. This is a three-person committee that will report later this spring and includes a consumer representative as well as legal and medical experts.
These are just a few items that may be of interest to you. During February, I will continue to be in the constituency. As always, please contact my office with any concerns or questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Whitney Issik
MLA – Calgary Glenmore
