"Community Dinners are back! Be sure to mark your calendar for every Sunday for a delicious meal prepared by different hospitality partners. Please note that seniors are welcomed at 5 p.m. for early entry along with families with children."

"As we look to the future, let’s celebrate the achievements of this extraordinary year, while continuing to invest in the talent, resources, and infrastructure that will ensure Alberta remains one of the best places to live, work, and raise a family."
