  • Klein Names New Cabinet, Reorganizes Some Portfolios
    November 24, 2004 Klein names new Cabinet, reorganizes some portfolios Creation of Advanced Education portfolio recognizes postsecondary as a priority Edmonton... New faces at the Cabinet table and new assignments for Cabinet veterans are the highlights of the new Cabinet team named by Premier Ralph Klein. "This Cabinet brings together experience and new perspectives, and I believe those who now sit at the Cabinet table are the best team to lead Alberta into its centennial year and beyond," said Klein. The new Cabinet make-up includes a new ministry and some changes to old portfolios. With the increased emphasis on post-secondary education in the government's 20-year strategic plan, the former ministry of Learning has been split into Education (for K-12 education) and Advanced Education (for postsecondary education). The old Finance and Revenue portfolios have been merged into a single Finance ministry. The previous Infrastructure and Transportation portfolios have been combined into one Infrastructure and Transportation ministry. The Seniors ministry has had responsibility for community supports added, including the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped and Persons with Development Disabilities programs, and is therefore renamed Seniors and Community Supports. The newly created portfolio of Restructuring and Government Efficiency will include responsibility for the Alberta Corporate Service Centre (previously under Government Services) and the Corporate Chief Information Officer (formerly with Innovation and Science). The Restructuring and Government Efficiency Minister will also be responsible for developing ideas and policies to streamline the delivery of government services. "The new restructuring ministry will help government in focusing on its most-important job, which is providing programs and services to Albertans effectively and efficiently," Klein said.

  • February 24, 2007 Canada's New Government and Alberta Invest
    February 24, 2007 Canada's New Government And Alberta Invest $3.5 Million to Improve Drinking Water and Bring Major Road Improvement for Southwest Alberta Turner Valley, Alberta... Canada's New Government, through the Canada-Alberta Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund, and the Government of Alberta are each investing more than $1.75 million to improve drinking water, the environment and driver safety for residents of Southwest Alberta. A "green" project in the Town of Turner Valley will construct a new sanitary collection system, including a sanitary main, river crossing and two lift stations, to replace the septic fields near the Town's source of potable water (the Sheep River water wells). The new sanitary main will divert wastewater to the municipal sewage treatment plant and reduce the risk of contaminants and toxic substances entering the water system. The project will also protect the Sheep River and the area's ecosystem from contamination. Upgrades to Tower Road in the Municipal District of Pincher Creek will improve driver safety and efficiency, provide capacity for heavy truck traffic and reduce long-term maintenance requirements. Through the Canada-Alberta Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (CAMRIF), the federal and provincial governments will each contribute $844,000 towards the Southwest Sanitary Collection System in the Town of Turner Valley, as well as $907,600 towards improving Tower Road in the Municipal District of Pincher Creek. Ted Menzies, Member of Parliament for Macleod, on behalf of the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of Western Economic Diversification, and David Coutts, MLA for Livingstone-Macleod, on behalf of the Honourable Luke Ouellette, Minister of Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation, made the joint announcement today.
