Nominations are now being accepted for the Alberta Order of Excellence, the province’s highest honour. This distinction recognizes Albertans whose exceptional achievements have made a lasting impact on our province. https://t.co/ownpjw5GON
@andrew_leach@jkenney Respectfully, I don’t think JK gets credit for that term. The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta has been using “reconcili-action” in her speeches for years.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh has become Royal Patron of Spruce Meadows.
The Duchess of Edinburgh’s patronage recognizes not only Spruce Meadows’ dedication to sporting excellence and development, but also the widespread community and charitable initiatives aimed at enriching people’s lives through the support of amateur and grassroots sports, health and wellness, education, frontline workers, equality for women, military, agriculture, and more, which align with many causes Her Royal Highness advocates for.
Welcoming the announcement, Spruce Meadows President and CEO Linda Southern-Heathcott—daughter of founders Ron and Margaret Southern, who officially opened the venue in 1975—remarked:
“My family and I, together with all the people who make up Spruce Meadows, are deeply honoured that Her Royal Highness has taken on Spruce Meadows as a Royal Patronage.
“The Duchess of Edinburgh is a wonderful example of grace, leadership, and dedication—and is someone for whom I have great personal admiration. The Royal patronage is a true gift, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary and look ahead to a meaningful future, continuing our expansion into a full-scale Sports and Entertainment District for all to enjoy.”

@FlyYEG yikes. The new ride share pickup process is horrendous. You’re forcing passengers to walk across a parkade and outside exposed to the elements (we live in a winter city). How is this improving the passenger experience or safety at all?
