CALGARY — More than 50 Alberta CEOs, entrepreneurs and industry leaders are in Ottawa this week in an effort to raise the profile of their province and promote "collaboration" on issues related to energy, climate and the economy.

"We're first trying to educate people out here about the diversity of businesses and opportunity in Alberta — and on top of that, you know, there are a lot of issues at play right now." Alberta — which gets most of its electricity from natural gas-fired power plants — has objected to Ottawa's stated goal to get Canada to a net-zero electricity grid by 2035, arguing that time frame isn't achievable without putting reliability and affordability at risk.

Alberta is also seeking to raise the profile of its fast-growing tech sector and attract more skilled labour to the province. Statistics Canada data released last week showed the province's population grew by 4.1 per cent in the 12 months prior to July 1 — a faster clip than anywhere else in the country.
