On Tuesday, June 22nd, members of caucus from the Alberta Liberal Party met with members of the Board and staff of the Red Deer Chamber.They were in town to meet with key groups to discuss their new oil and gas policy, and they provided us with a brief overview of their positions.

We also had an opportunity to discuss some of our key policies with them, including Better Health Care, Innovative Thinking with Alberta's Energy, Incorporating Investment Advisors and Zero Waste.

It was very interesting to hear their perspectives on our policy positions and we appreciated the time that leader Dr. David Swann, Kevin Taft and Huey McDonald took to listen and dialogue.

This type of advocacy is important for our Chamber in that all elected representatives need to be made aware of issues that impact the Red Deer region. Even though the policy committees are taking their summer respite, the Chamber continues to advocate its policy positions whenever the opportunity arises.
