 Message from the Chair 

The CAEP Board has approved the 2015-2016 Budget and is pleased that there was no change in the $100,000 funding from Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education. A huge "Thank You" goes out to the CAEP Board and our working committees for their time reviewing and selecting the CAEP 2015 - 2016 projects. Major projects include:

  1. Supporting Central Alberta: Access Prosperity in investment attraction
  2. ZoomProspector: the Commercial Land Listings program for all communities
  3. Regional Promotion
  4. Community Economic Indicator Reports
  5. Agricultural Livestock and Crop Report

The Annual Achievement Awards have changed for 2015 and we will be asking all communities to submit one project which will be used to create a booklet showcasing all our community members. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual General Meeting on June 12th to share what has happened and where we are going.

 

In closing, I would like to welcome Councillor Bradley Rabbit from Montana First Nation to the CAEP Board as well as extend a thank you to Aubrey Brown for his time on the board, and wish him all the best in his move to Prince Edward Island.
