Calgary meeting sets clean economy agenda

As reported by Canada.ca, Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin joins provincial and territorial counterparts at the annual Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment meeting in Calgary, Alberta, to discuss coordinated approaches to cutting emissions and advancing economic growth.

The meeting focuses on shared priorities including clean and renewable power, mass electrification, clean technologies and energy efficiency in homes and businesses. Dabrusin says collaboration across jurisdictions is essential to support Canada’s Climate Competitiveness Strategy and the federal objective of building one Canadian economy while reducing emissions and strengthening resilience.

Before the ministers' meeting, Dabrusin also takes part in discussions with Indigenous partners on environmental priorities and economic opportunities for communities. The federal government says those talks reflect its commitment to close cooperation and the advancement of Indigenous self-determination and rights.

Alberta engagements highlight regional industry links

On the sidelines of the Calgary gathering, Dabrusin participates in several Alberta events tied to conservation, electricity and sector competitiveness. Alongside Parks Canada representatives, she announces the Manitou Asinîy Land Use Agreement, underscoring partnership and stewardship in protecting cultural and natural heritage.

The minister also visits the FortisAlberta Employee Development Centre and meets the Canadian Cattle Association to discuss innovation, sustainability and business opportunities. She holds bilateral and trilateral talks with environment ministers from Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories on regional climate challenges and intergovernmental cooperation.

Dabrusin later joins a Pembina Institute roundtable on electricity, energy and building retrofits, and visits the ATCO Solar Farm. The federal government positions those engagements as part of a broader push to support workers, businesses and communities while lowering emissions and building a more competitive economy.
