    The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building Edmonton, AB, T5K 2B6 March 19, 2020 Dear Premier, Re: Action Needed Now in Support of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families We very much appreciate the recent and necessary actions you and your government have taken with respect to Albertans in general and services and supports for those with specific vulnerabilities, such seniors and women and children who rely on shelters for safety. We support the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN) in its reQuest to have the government offer a broader array of assistance to non-profit supports and services. In this light we want to ensure the voices of families of children and adult sons and daughters with developmental disabilities, persons with developmental disabilities themselves and those who support them, is not lost. The very vast majority of children and adults with developmental disabilities will only remain safe if they have personal supports in their lives. For as many as possible, this principally will come from families, but unsupported, families will still be at risk. And there are thousands who do not have family in their lives and require the support provided by agencies. Many individuals with developmental disabilities will not understand their degree of vulnerability, particularly as this population has a higher incidence of health challenges. They will not be able take the necessary precautions on their own and some cannot communicate readily or independently when they are not feeling well and potentially symptomatic. Yet others have parents who fall within vulnerable categories themselves and are thus limited in providing for their sons and daughters safety without risKing their own lives.

    The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Dear Premier Kenney, Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable sector is prepared to support the Government of Alberta in this time of crisis to ensure support for communities and individuals. We are a vital aspect of the wider support system and, in many cases, we are at the front-line of caring for this province’s most vulnerable. To ensure continued delivery of essential services in this time of need, the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN)—advocating on behalf of Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable organizations— urges the Government of Alberta to ensure additional funding is available to front-line organizations and provide assurance and flexibility regarding ongoing funding agreements. We are eager to establish clear lines of communication with the Government of Alberta and continue discussions on the impacts of COVID-19 on service delivery and the expectations of the sector. We were pleased to see the province provide emergency funding of $60 million to support select COVID-19-related social services. It was a clear confirmation of the critical role civil society organizations will play in managing this pandemic. However, it is crucial to recognize that many other front-line nonprofits will see increased demand for their services, including care facilities, food banks, and mental health organizations. Beyond front-line COVID-19-related services, many more organizations are considering the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on operations. Now that organizations have taken the necessary precautions to protect staff and stakeholders from the spread of the virus, their attention has turned to the impacts that social isolation measures will have on operations, staffing, service delivery, and funding, including lost casino and event revenue.

  • Inspiring Service, Growing Value May 27, 2021 Premier Jason Kenney Government of Alberta 10800 97 Ave Edmonton, Alberta Dear Pr
    May 27, 2021 Premier Jason Kenney Government of Alberta 10800 97 Ave Edmonton, Alberta Dear Premier: Re: Open for Summer Plan On behalf of more than 700 Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) members, I would like to thank you and your government for your continued support for hotels, restaurants, and the hospitality industry. Your announcement of the extension of the Tourism Levy abatement to June 30, 2021, and the Open for Summer plan, which clearly defines a path to recovery, have provided much needed hope to hoteliers who are focussed on getting back to business this summer. In support of the Open for Summer Plan, the AHLA is encouraging hotels to: 1. Talk to their staff about the importance of getting vaccinated, and supporting them to do this in any way they can. This may include one on one conversations to provide accurate information and address vaccine hesitancy, or helping with transportation or child care arrangements. 2. Assure the health & safety of employees and guests alike to build consumer confidence when it is time to travel safely once again. To this end, we have developed the AHLA Safe Accommodation Promise (ASAP). In under five months, over 25,000 hotel rooms have achieved the ASAP designation, including some of Alberta’s largest and most iconic properties. 3. Apply for the provincial Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant. 4. Apply for the Alberta Jobs Now program when they are able to hire again. Our members look forward to welcoming business and leisure travelers and events once again. We thank your government for the measures it has taken to protect public health and restart Alberta’s struggling tourism economy.

    AB Today – Daily Report August 21, 2020 Quotation of the day “Alberta’s government has employed pressure tactics against physicians, devaluing their role in keeping Albertans healthy in and outside of this pandemic.” The Canadian Medical Association accuses the UCP government of refusing to “collaborate” ​ ​ with Alberta doctors. Today in AB On the schedule The swearing-in ceremony for Alberta’s first-ever Muslim lieutenat-governor, Salma Lakhani, ​ ​ will take place next week in the legislature. Finance Minister Travis Toews’ economic update drops next Thursday. ​ ​ Premier watch Ahead of Friday's Conservative Party of Canada leadership vote, contender Erin O’Toole ​ reminded the Twitter crowd of his endorsement from Premier Jason Kenney (and contrasted it ​ ​ ​ ​ with the Toronto Star’s endorsement of his rival, Peter MacKay). ​ ​ ​ ​ Last year, Kenney said Rona Ambrose would be his “first choice” for CPC leader, but when she ​ ​ decided not to run, he backed O’Toole. Kenney, O’Toole and MacKay all served as cabinet ministers under ex-prime minister Stephen ​ Harper. O’Toole has also garnered public endorsements from 15 other UCP MLAs and cabinet ministers, including Jason and Jeremy Nixon, Demetrios Nicolaides, Tanya Fir, Kaycee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Madu, Josephine Pon, Michaela Glasgo, Miranda Rosin, Mike Ellis, Nicholas Milliken, Ric ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ McIver, Rajan Sawhney, Rebecca Schulz, Dale Nally and Rick Wilson. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ While MacKay has advertised his endorsements from provincial lawmakers in other provinces, such as Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, he doesn’t appear to have got much traction with the UCP. A number of federal MPs from Alberta ridings have backed him, and so did ex-Wildrose leader Brian Jean.
