This statement is attributable to Deborah Yedlin, President & CEO at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce
“The Calgary Chamber welcomes Alberta’s leadership in national job creation over the past year, with more than 85,000 jobs created – 75,000 more than the next-highest province. These gains reflect ongoing efforts to attract capital investment, business and skilled labour, supporting job creation both in Alberta’s traditional energy sector and in emerging industries driven by economic diversification. Alberta continues to demonstrate its role as a key economic driver for Canada, contributing significantly to national growth despite ongoing trade volatility and broader geopolitical challenges. We encourage the federal and provincial governments to continue collaborating with industry to sustain this momentum, creating new opportunities for businesses to expand, invest and succeed in the province.”
