Although I wasn’t raised in Alberta, I was born in the beautiful province, and feel a great sense of pride when considering the gifts Alberta has given our country.

This month, CBJ pays tribute to Alberta with a focus on the economic and social contributions it has made to Canada.

We spoke with a variety of industry heads, including Energy Minister Ron Liepert and Minister of Infrastructure Ray Danyluk. Our interview with Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers encapsulates the excitement surrounding industry and technological development in Alberta. We take a look at the Stampede and its contributions to the economic side of things, and oh yes, we explore how there’s so much more than oil in the energy province.

This month we profile a variety of companies doing great things across the country, and take a closer look at Govan Brown, our 2010 CBJ Company of the Year Award winner. Take a peek, let us know what you think, and see you next month.
