Navigating Alberta’s Economy in a COVID World

So What Now?

With the shock of the pandemic behind us, the world has settled into a new reality: living with COVID. The crisis is certainly not over, and many parts of the world are seeing cases rising once again. The global, Canadian, and Alberta economies are struggling under massive uncertainty. What possible scenarios could play out? And what does it mean for Alberta?

Todd Hirsch, Vice President and Chief Economist for ATB Financial, will help us understand where Alberta is right now, where it could go, and the implications for all of us.

Please join AFP and TMAC partner organizations across Canada, on September 17th, 2020 for an amazing virtual presentation.
