As Alberta navigates complex and urgent challenges at the intersection of addiction, mental health, public safety, and economic development, the implications for business districts—particularly in Edmonton’s core—are significant. Join the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce for an important and timely conversation with the Honourable Dan Williams, Alberta’s Minister of Mental Health and Addiction, to explore how the province is advancing a recovery-oriented system of care and what it means for the future of our city and economy.

Minister Williams will offer insights into the government’s strategy to build a more integrated and effective mental health and addiction system—one that strengthens community safety, supports long-term recovery, and prioritizes the wellbeing of Alberta’s workforce. This discussion will also include remarks on the province’s recently announced compassionate intervention legislation, aimed at helping individuals with severe addiction challenges access the care they need. 

A vibrant and secure downtown is not just critical for businesses located in the core—it is a cornerstone of a thriving city and a resilient economy. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in a forward-looking dialogue on the policies shaping Edmonton’s recovery and revitalization. 

Why Attend? 

  • Stay ahead of policy developments that affect workforce wellbeing, community safety, and economic recovery.
  • Hear directly from Minister Williams in a conversation moderated by Doug Griffiths, President & CEO of the Edmonton Chamber. 
  • Engage in a thoughtful Q&A and contribute your voice to a conversation that matters.
  • Connect with leaders from across Edmonton’s public and private sectors over lunch.
