I was pleased to attend the 2026 APEGA Summit Awards Gala earlier this week in Edmonton along with my colleagues Min. Myles McDougall and Min. Martin Long.

The Summit Awards recognize professional engineers and geoscientists for their exceptional achievements. Congratulations to all the 2026 award recipients.

Thank you to APEGA (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta) for the invite to be part of a very impressive and well organized gala

I was pleased to participate in the Bangla New Year Celebration and present a scroll recognizing this important milestone- Pohela Boishakh 1433, hosted by the Bangladesh Canada Association Of Calgary - BCAOC. Events like these remind us of how vibrant and active Alberta’s Bengali community is, showcasing amazing music, food and welcoming people. Thank you to the BCAOC’s team including president Eakbal Rhaman and the many volunteers who made this possible.

Recently, Councillor Councillor Andrew Yule, the City Councillor for Ward 3 in Calgary, and I sat down to discuss our priorities in the communities we share. We focused on strengthening collaboration and identifying opportunities where our efforts align. Mayor Jeromy "Pathfinder" Farkas took time out of his busy day to stop by to say hello as well.

I was delighted to present a cheque to the NE Centre of Community Society (Genesis Centre) for a $125,000 Community Facility Enhancement Program grant.

This investment, supported through Arts, Culture and Status of Women, reflects Alberta’s continued commitment to spaces that bring people together and strengthen our communities.

Special thanks to Executive Director Sherry King and Business Development Manager Jonah Ardiel, along with their entire team, for their ongoing dedication and service.

It was a pleasure meeting with ACFA Alberta (Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta) and connecting with Nathalie Lachance, CEO, and Isabelle Laurin, Executive Director. I truly appreciated our conversation and the thoughtful perspectives they shared.

It was such a pleasure to join Premier Smith in the Premier’s Summit on Fairness for Newcomers in Edmonton yesterday.

Great to hear directly from newcomers, settlement organizations and community members from across Alberta.

Alberta has a strong history of welcoming newcomers who help grow our economy and build strong communities.

Thank you to all attendees.

Over the weekend I was pleased to take part in Airdrie Arab Fest organized by the Calgary Arab Arts & Culture Society (CAACS). It was great to see people come together to celebrate this beautiful culture through arts, music and food. A special thanks to the CAACS’ Executive Director Bassem Hafez, Fleeha Ahmad with the Rocky View Immigrant Services, and Airdrie Arts & Culture Council for helping organize this event.
