Metro Matters: Attracting People & Jobs to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region

We know that Alberta's labour market is hot, and unemployment is low. People come here and stay for high-paying jobs and wages that outpace the rest of the nation. How is the region preparing for new sectors, new jobs, and new investments? How do we create thriving and welcoming communities, where all residents benefit from economic prosperity and quality of life? What are the amenities, services, and other factors that will differentiate our region from others? Hear from three regional mayors as they explore solutions and opportunities.

Moderated by Crystal Brightwell from Cameron Development Corporation, we will hear from our panellists:

• Mayor Hnatiw, Sturgeon County
• Mayor Choy, Town of Stony Plain
• Mayor Boersma, Town of Morinville

• Where: Royal Glenora Club
• When: June 20, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
