Calgary Mountain View Town Hall: Moving Alberta's Economy Forward
What does a healthy economy look like in 2025?
I hope you are able to take some time away from the exciting Olympic action to join me tonight at the Calgary Mountain View Town Hall. I look forward to speaking together with public finance economist Greg Flanagan and economics professor V. Nallainayagam on the future of Alberta’s economy. We hope to have a stimulating discussion in which Albertans will be able to voice their questions and concerns on this vital issue.
How can we move Alberta’s economy forward? What will a healthy economy look like in 2025? At this forum I will emphasize that wise spending, investing in the future, and stabilizing revenues are the crucial building blocks of a strong Alberta economy.
I look forward to seeing you there!

A wonderful community, great food, a fantasic band, and fabulous volunteers make David's 5th annual Stampede Breakfast a success! July 4, 2009.
This year's breakfast was the biggest and best ever, serving over 2500 people great breakfast fare and the opportunity to mingle with community organizations at the first ever Community Fair.
Breakfast guests had the opportunity to mingle with the following community organizations: Clean Calgary, the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta, Civic Camp, My World My Choice, UNICEF, Bullfrog Power, and Bike Root.
With more than double the grills, line ups were nearly eliminated while efforts were made to reduce waste by recycling and providing guests with a dish station to wash their own plates, cups and cutlery. Sunnyside Market was kind enough to donate donate veggie dogs so that we could provide a delicious vegetarian option.
The entire event was offset with clean energy by Bullfrog Power.
Fun was had by all and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
