December 1, 2023, all photo radar sites were removed from ring roads in both Calgary and Edmonton and moved to school, playground, and construction zones to improve safety and protect those in vulnerable situations. Transportation and Economic Corridors and Public Safety and Emergency Services will engage with municipalities and law enforcement over the next year to get rid of all “fishing hole” locations so Albertans are assured that photo radar is focused on traffic safety.
The recently announced Dow $9 billion Path2Zero project in Fort Saskatchewan marks Alberta’s largest private sector investment in 15 years. This initiative, a global first, establishes a net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions ethylene cracker and derivatives site, creating thousands of peak construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs. The project enhances Alberta’s ethylene and polyethylene capacity, boosting export potential and reinforcing the province’s leadership in emissions reduction and clean technology.
In efforts to revamp Alberta’s healthcare system, the government is implementing initiatives to enhance the efficiency of emergency medical services (EMS). These initiatives are designed to ensure every Albertan has timely access to high-quality healthcare. The government is inviting Paramedics and EMS partners who are on the ground and have a direct line of sight in understanding the unique needs of their communities, to join a new standing committee to share their valuable input.
The Family Justice Strategy receives a $5 million boost from Budget 2023, earmarked for expanding pre-court services in Edmonton and Calgary. This investment aims to enhance alternative dispute resolution, family court counselling, and parenting interventions, aiding Albertans in deciding whether to settle family matters out of court or navigate court proceedings.
Thank you to my constituents for their support as I carry out my duties as your MLA. Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous new year.
