For nearly a century Alberta has defended its autonomy – from the 1926 Transfer of Natural Resources under Premier John E. Brownlee to today’s leadership of Premier Danielle Smith. Together with Alberta Enterprise Group and its president Catherine Brownlee, the province’s businesses and citizens keep pushing for fair federal policies that protect Alberta’s economic future.
Join AEG on Monday, January 26, 2026 for a luncheon featuring Minister of Technology and Innovation Nate Glubish, followed by a fireside chat on Alberta’s innovation future.
Alberta Enterprise Group’s final 2025 event brought members, guests and Premier Danielle Smith together for a powerful keynote and fireside chat, followed by a festive networking reception.
