Council of the Federation to meet in New Brunswick

Message from Premier Ed Stelmach

From August 8-10, I will meet with the rest of Canada’s Premiers – known as the Council of the Federation – in New Brunswick. The council will focus on two themes -- energy and climate change. On the energy front, we will review an energy strategy from work that began at our 2005 meeting in Banff. Regarding climate change, Premiers will share information on their jurisdiction’s efforts to address climate change and also explore ways to collaborate and cooperate. I look forward to sharing the results of the meeting with Albertans.
