Remembrance Day
It’s wonderful to see your commitment to supporting and honouring the brave men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces. Recognizing the sacrifices and efforts of those who serve, both past and present, is a meaningful way to express gratitude. Alberta, like the rest of Canada, has a strong tradition of military service, and it’s important to acknowledge and appreciate the dedication and sacrifices made by members of the armed forces. We will remember them.
Alberta Pension Plan – Survey
Alberta’s government has recently released an independent report by Lifeworks that outlines what an Alberta Pension Plan (APP) could look like if the province decided to shift from the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) and create a provincial plan. I encourage you to complete the pension survey on the APP website (www.albertapensionplan.ab.ca). Alberta’s government will not replace the CPP with an APP unless Albertans approve it in a referendum. That’s right, it’s your pension, your choice!
Providing Funding for Apprenticeships
A $12.4 million investment from Alberta’s government will create almost 2,000 new apprenticeship seats across the province. Alberta’s economy has momentum, more skilled labourers are needed to support the province’s workforce, especially in the construction industry. To meet growing demand for highly skilled tradespeople across sectors, and responding to feedback from post-secondaries and industry, Alberta’s government is increasing capacity for skilled trades training. This funding is in addition to the $15 million over three years announced earlier this year, which added more than 1,000 additional apprenticeship spaces, bringing the total funding for apprenticeship training in 2023-24 to $54.4 million.
