The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of 2022
While I planned to talk about ‘The Good & The Bad of 2022’, there truly is an “Ugly’ component that can’t be overlooked because of its influence on the outcome. 2022 has been a challenging year, full of complexities, surprises and most concerning times. As the days wound down to December 31, it seemed the tone might have just carried forward into 2023 if things were not talked about. For me personally, it truly does feel like we have lived through one of the most difficult times in our country.

AEG Podcast, Episode 5: Empowering Alberta’s Youth: The Ten Peaks Innovation Alliance’s Story
The AEG podcast features an interview with Dagmar Knutson, the founder of 10 Peaks Innovation Alliances. Dagmar's non-profit organization aims to educate Alberta's youth on technology, innovation, inclusivity, energy, environment, and career opportunities. The organization's inspiration came from her son's lack of knowledge about the energy industry in Alberta. Dagmar describes the organization's events, such as an annual student conference, case competitions, micro-grants, entrepreneurship camps, and innovation webinars. 10 Peaks is currently partnering with the University of Calgary's Hunter Center for entrepreneurship, and it is seeking additional partnerships for financial stability. The organization strives to provide balanced conversations about sustainability and energy transition to inspire and engage students in the fast-changing world of technology and innovation.
