The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) presents a session discussing the value of post-secondary education in shaping the future of Alberta.
Alberta's Future - Is Post-Secondary Education the Answer?
This presentation will make the case for Alberta’s future prosperity, founded on strong post-secondary institutions and accessible higher education. It will include an overview of how post-secondary institutions benefit communities and the economy. The presentation will also suggest that the current UCP government’s actions downplay the value of a well-rounded post-secondary education.
Speaker: Brad Lafortune
Brad Lafortune is the Executive Director of Public Interest Alberta and lives in Edmonton on Treaty 6 territory with his daughter. He is a passionate advocate for strong public institutions and an Alberta where nobody is left behind.
