The Alberta Project

The Alberta “Project”?

Too often we talk about Alberta like it’s a fixed thing—an oil province, an agricultural powerhouse, a land of opportunity. But Alberta has always been in motion, shaped by the people who call it home. It’s a project—ongoing, evolving, never truly complete.

That’s why we chose The Alberta Project.

Because building a strong, thriving, forward-looking Alberta isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we do. It takes thoughtful, engaged, and purposeful work to shape a future that balances economic strength, social well-being, and environmental responsibility.

Too often, our politics get stuck in the past, acting like Alberta is something to defend rather than something to build. But Alberta isn’t a relic—it’s a living, breathing thing, and can be shaped every day by the people who believe in its future.

We’re not here to pick sides. We’re not here to rehash old fights. We’re here to move forward—to create real solutions that work for today and lay the foundation for tomorrow.

The Alberta Project is an open invitation—to business leaders, innovators, students, and everyday Albertans who believe this province is worth their time and attention.

If you see Alberta as something unfinished, as something that can and should be made better, then you’re in the right place.

The Alberta Pledge

Bold. Pragmatic. Forward-Thinking.

Alberta isn’t built by spectators—it’s shaped by the people who step up, ask the right questions, and take action. The Alberta Project team is made up of leaders, innovators, and thinkers who believe in solutions over slogans. We bring together experience, expertise, and a commitment to building an Alberta that thrives—economically, socially, and environmentally.

We’re always looking for sharp minds, bold thinkers, and action-oriented people to join the movement. If you’re passionate about Alberta’s future and want to be part of something that actually gets things done, let’s talk.
