Alberta Enterprise Group: An NHL Hub City Would Boost Alberta’s Economic Recovery Efforts
“Businesses across Alberta would welcome the NHL with open arms,” said John Liston, President of Alberta Enterprise Group. “Covid-19 has left many of our entrepreneurs and job creators battling hard, and this opportunity would give us a much-needed shot in the arm and would be a huge boost to our economic recovery efforts. Optimism and hope are key elements of this recovery and in Canada, hockey provides that.”

It’s Time to Maximize Edmonton’s Hosting Potential
After an incredibly successful summer festival season, it’s clear that Alberta is on the map as a go-to destination for entertainment experiences. Edmonton hosted the Junos earlier this year, bringing in more than $12 million in economic impact. Calgary hosted another incredibly successful Stampede in July, seeing a record turnaround, only topped by the 100th anniversary Stampede in 2012. K-Days was attended by 557,000 this year. However, it isn’t just festivals and entertainment events bringing people to our province.
