ABOUT US

Executive and Board

Welcome to the “Alberta HUB”, the Regional Economic Development Alliance (REDA) of Northeast Alberta. Our dedicated Executive Team, Board of Directors, and Membership work together to ensure a strong alliance is maintained with our local communities, businesses/industries, post-secondary educational institutions and government partners.

The region we support is uniquely located in a triangle corridor between the high population centre of Edmonton, the Saskatchewan border, and the resource rich areas to the north leading to Fort McMurray. Established in 2000 and incorporated as a not-for-profit society, Alberta HUB provides economic development support to its members and increases the awareness of our region as the place to invest, grow and live.

Executive:

Chair: Gerald Aalbers/Lloydminster
Vice-Chair: Robert Pulyk/Vermilion
Secretary/Treasurer: Jocelyne Lanovaz/Village of Mannville
Executive Director: Bob Bezpalko

Message from the Chair

I have the pleasure to welcome you to Northeast Alberta, an economic engine that feeds the world with grains and oilseeds, Alberta’s finest livestock and the region that fuels the world with oil/gas and renewable energy. These are just a few of the many opportunities that exist in the Alberta HUB region. We lead the country with research and development of a growing Hemp industry and tourism opportunities that exist in truly four seasons! We are proud to be home to CFB 4-wing Cold Lake where the aerospace, technology, defense and UMS sectors offer numerous opportunities. Lakeland and Portage Colleges and the University at Blue Quills provide state of the art education, training and research. Industry continues to grow with huge opportunities to expand and develop throughout our region.

Please review our website and you are invited to visit the Alberta HUB region where “Opportunity comes to life.”
