This week, I had the opportunity to sit down with two groups that play a critical role in keeping Alberta strong.

From the Building Trades of Alberta to the Western Dairy Council, these are the people who build our province and keep it running.

🏗️🥛 Skilled trades workers are powering our growth, delivering the infrastructure we need, and creating opportunity for thousands of Albertans. At the same time, our dairy producers are feeding families, supporting rural communities, and driving economic stability across the province.

[DPAC - ATLC @DPAC_ATLC]

Over the past five years, DPAC has been tirelessly dedicated to developing a Grocery Sector Code of Conduct and building industry support around this strategic initiative for Canada’s agri-food value chain. This week’s announcement from the FPT Agriculture Ministers that all major retailers have agreed to join this initiative marks a key and much-awaited milestone in this process.

DPAC wishes to thank Quebec Agriculture Minister @andrelamontagn2, federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister the Hon. @L_MacAulay and his predecessor the Hon. @mclaudebibeau for their leadership which proved key to reaching to milestone, as well as their colleagues for endorsing this initiative.

Our association remains committed to working with industry partners to take the final steps now required to implement the Code.
