MLA for Lac. Ste. Anne—Parkland Shane Getson is travelling to Anchorage, Alaska today to promote Alberta energy to member states of the Energy Council at its annual meeting.
The meeting brings together elected legislators from 14 energy-producing states in the U.S., as well as Alberta and Saskatchewan, in an effort to maintain connections and learn about energy issues across states and provinces.
Getson will be focused on communicating the importance of Alberta’s role in North American energy security as he participates in various meetings and sessions. He will also advocate to continue protecting trade relationships between Alberta and the United States, the government says.
“I’m proud to share Alberta’s story with our American partners,” Getson commented. “Alberta families and businesses work hard to keep energy flowing and that benefits people on both sides of the border. These meetings are about strengthening those relationships, finding common ground and showing that Alberta can be counted on as a reliable, responsible energy partner.”
