  • Northern Alberta Development Council Annual Report 2000-2001
    2000 – 2001 Annual Report Message from the Chair The Northern Alberta Development Council is pleased to present its Annual Report for 2000-2001. The past year has been an exciting one for northern Alberta. The socio-economic development of the North continues to make a significant contribution to The Alberta Advantage. The Council focuses its efforts on the realization of opportunities to advance northern development, while addressing barriers that may affect development. During 2000-2001, the Council carried out initiatives in the following areas: • the promotion of emerging development opportunities, especially value-added ones; • involvement in initiatives related to various aspects of northern development; and • increasing northern skill levels as a way to encourage northern participation in the economy. The Council’s success rests with the contributions made by project partners, northern stakeholders, members and staff. By working together we will continue to build a strong northern Alberta, today and in the future. Guy Boutilier, MLA, Fort McMurray, Chair, Northern Alberta Development Council 1 Northern Alberta Development Council Operational Overview Core Business The mandate of the Northern Alberta Development Council (NADC) is to investigate, monitor, evaluate, plan and promote practical measures to foster and advance general development in northern Alberta.
