Starting with our organization
Board Chair – Steve Allan
Heavily depend on our Action Calgary partnerships to promote Calgary, develop programs and attract FDI and have very strong relationships with 60+ partners including the PSI’s, non-profit organizations, and private sector, civic partners and the City.
The thought leadership and generous financial support from this group of visionary Calgarians supports Calgary Economic Development in delivering award-winning initiatives and programs, drive economic and individual prosperity and better compete on the global stage.
We celebrated our 5th year of the partnership program last year with many partners celebrating that milestone with us.

According to the Government of Canada – Energy Markets Fact Book (page 18 http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrcan.gc.ca/files/energy/files/pdf/2014/14-0173EnergyMarketFacts_e.pdf) Canada is responsible for 4% of the world production of crude oil and 4% of the world production of natural gas (page 38). Alberta is responsible for 76% of Canadian crude oil production (page 20) – meaning Alberta is responsible for 3% of global production. Similarly, Alberta is responsible for 74% of Canadian natural gas production (page 42), therefore Alberta is responsible for 3% of global production.
