We are so excited to be celebrating our 50^th anniversary this year! Follow us on social media and hear from some of our long-standing members about what being a member of the chamber means to them. We will be spotlighting 50 of our longest standing members throughout the year through weekly videos.

If you would like to get involved in celebrating with us as a monthly sponsorship, please contact ashley@airdriechamber.ab.ca.

Stay tuned for more celebration opportunities throughout 2023 including a fall gala!

“The Airdrie Chamber of Commerce is thrilled that the province of Alberta has created a program to invest in the redevelopment and future growth of Airdrie’s downtown core. The revitalization of our downtown has been a priority of our city for years, and the Community Revitalization Levy will help our business community prosper and grow without adding additional tax burdens. This investment into Airdrie will not only boost our local economy with new jobs, but it will also add business investment into the heart of our growing city.”

~ Chris McNicol

Airdrie Chamber of Commerce President

As of July 1, 2022, Alberta’s population stood at 4,543,111. This was 347,050 more than in 2016 for an increase of 8.3%.

About 71% of Albertans live in one of the province’s 16 cities, but these communities together accounted for 91% of the population growth between 2016 and 2022.

Cochrane was the fastest growing town in the province, adding 7,858 residents between 2016 and 2022 (+29.2%).

The trend toward more growth in Alberta’s more urban areas is expected to continue.

Great news on a policy win for our network: Alberta’s government will be accepting all recommendations of both the Alberta Emergency Medical Services Provincial Advisory Committee report and the independent dispatch review and is working on a plan of action to carry them out.

These actions align with recommendations from our “Addressing Emergency Medical Service Resource Allocation Deficiencies” policy, sponsored by Okotoks, and co-sponsored by Airdrie and Brooks.

Premier Danielle Smith is establishing an expert panel to review the legislation and governance practices used by the Government of Alberta during the management of the COVID-19 public health emergency and to recommend changes necessary to improve government response to future health emergencies.

In reviewing applicable legislation and governance practices, the panel will consider and balance various factors in the overall context of a public health emergency, including:

• general public health and health information

• mental health and wellness

• child and student health, mental health and education

• health professionals’ practice standards

• effective implementation of emergency measures

• protection of rights and freedoms

• economic and financial effects

• employment standards
