Improving relationships with the province’s two biggest cities, while finalizing long term funding to all municipalities through GreenTrip and the Municipal Sustainability Initiative are two of the highlights of the spring sitting of the Alberta Legislature.
In their speech from the throne, the Redford government also pledged to use money in the Alberta Heritage Scholarship fund to create two new endowments – one for social innovation and one for Agriculture and Food innovation.
Other highlights include the creation of the Alberta Institute for Research and Commercialization, plans to create the country’s first pipeline training facility, and developing a new school curriculum that focuses on a strong understanding of basic literacy and numbers.
