UPDATE ON ALBERTA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2019
With what started as an idea to celebrate Alberta's Birthday has now turned into a movement to make September 1, 2019 a holiday in Alberta. We now have finalized 6 locations in Brooks, Calgary, Edmonton & Red Deer and the momentum keeps growing with support from various politicians and the business community.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"I am looking forward to celebrating Alberta's birthday and serving pancakes at the Alberta Verified birthday bash in my East Calgary constituency. I am of course supportive of the initiative to promote Alberta's great products."
Gian-Carlo Carra -
Calgary City Councillor, Ward 9
"I am encouraged by the Alberta Verified program to promote Alberta products in a positive manner and appreciate their efforts to promote Alberta's Birthday on September 1. I will be making an effort to drop by one of the Calgary birthday parties."
Peter Demong - Calgary City Councillor, Ward 14
"Looking forward to celebrating Albertas birthday with my fellow Albertans. This is long overdue."
Dave Rowley - Strathmore
"PABA is thrilled to be part of the Alberta Birthday Celebration being hosted by Alberta Verified. What a great initiative for all Albertans to partake in."
Steve Chapman - Peigan Area Business Association (PABA)

"I actually am amazed at how few Albertans were even aware that September 1, 2019 is Alberta's birthday. This birthday bash and Alberta first product promotion is exactly what Alberta needs. We will be backing this non partisan initiative fully."
Craig B. Chandler - Progressive Group for Independent Business (PGIB)
PROGRESS UPDATE
  1. Premier Jason Kenney's office emailed that he will be putting out a video on September 1 in celebration of Alberta's Birthday.
  2. We have 6 FINAL locations in 4 different cities Brooks, Calgary, Edmonton & Red Deer (see below)
  3. The support from elected officials of all stripes is starting to pour in.
  4. Other MLA's such as Devinder Toor, MLA Calgary Falconridge are having their own Birthday BBQ.
WHAT IS ALBERTA VERIFIED?

Alberta Verified is a non partisan and non political initiative that will work with and encourage Alberta eateries, stores and more to use Alberta products and be recognized for doing so. We will meet with eateries, grocery stores and companies to ensure that they are indeed sourcing their beer, food, plastics etc... with Alberta originated products, labour and / or ingredients. By buying products that support our family, neighbours and friends we can make Alberta stronger and create more jobs by buying local.

There are so many negative calls for boycotts of other provinces that we do not feel are effective. We feel informing the consumer of what is actually verified as Albertan will provide them a choice to support Alberta with their hard earned money. We feel providing something positive on where people can choose to spend their money, rather than telling people they need to boycott something will achieve better results and something Albertans will embrace.
