Support for Trucking Industry: The Alberta Government has invested $30 million over the next three years to help more women and men train for jobs in the commercial trucking and transportation sectors. This investment is building on the success of the Driving Back to Work program that has helped hundreds of Albertans retrain for a career in the trucking industry. It is estimated that by 2023 there will be a shortage of about 3,600 commercial drivers in Alberta. I encourage anyone interested in a career in the trucking field to visit alberta.ca/driving-back-to-work-grant-program.aspx to learn more about the Driving Back to Work program.
Creative Partnerships Alberta: The Alberta Government is matching up to $350,000 in donations to eligible provincial sport, physical activity, and recreation programs. This campaign is part of Creative Partnerships Alberta, an initiative to find new ways to support non-profits. Albertans can make their gift through the new Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation (SPAR) Donation Fund Program online from April 1 to August 30. To learn more about this initiative, please visit https://www.alberta.ca/creative-partnerships.aspx.
Improvements in K-Country: Alberta’s Government is upgrading trails, investing in public transit, and expanding Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park to conserve and protect the environment, while improving outdoor recreation opportunities. As part of Budget 2022, the Alberta Government is investing more than $4 million to upgrade the Grassi Lakes and Goat Creek day-use areas in Kananaskis Country. These upgrades will address public safety issues and parking congestion, while protecting the environment and enhancing outdoor recreation opportunities. Record-breaking numbers of visitors are exploring K-Country and with increased visitation comes increased pressure on existing trails and facilities.
