The holiday season is upon us! I’d like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all the best this holiday season. I hope your days are filled with family, friends, and all the love and cheer that comes with this time of year.
As I reflect upon the year that has been, I’m proud to see the great progress we’ve made in advancing Alberta’s economy.
Calgary is known globally as a hub for some of the world’s biggest energy companies, but we’ve started making waves in the tech world too. A recent study from LinkedIn Talent Insights found Calgary is experiencing the fastest growth in tech talent in North America and is home to the highest concentration of high-tech workers of Canadian cities. Leading multinational companies, including Mphasis and Infosys have large and growing operations in our city.
Over the third quarter of 2022, we saw economic diversification accelerate through business expansions and new investments. From renewable energy to aviation, manufacturing to technology, companies like TC Energy, De Havilland Aircraft, Infosys, and Level 42 AI are choosing Alberta as the place they want to be. That means good paying jobs for Albertans.
Our province is leading the country in job growth and people from Ontario, Manitoba, and BC are flocking here in unprecedented levels to take advantage of the opportunities Alberta provides.
While there are some predictions for a rough economic patch in early 2023, financial experts believe our province will ride out the turbulence better than others thanks to our energy sector and growing diversification.
Please plan to attend my annual Christmas Gathering in a few days time. Info is on the large signs near the entrances to your community.
