CSG Midwest is a regional forum bringing together legislators and government leaders from 11 states and four Canadian provinces. The Milwaukee conference will advance discussions on agriculture and economic development and will feature a keynote presentation and sessions on water policy, water quality and infrastructure.

“As we start on the largest infrastructure build in Alberta’s history, this is an important opportunity to learn from experiences in other jurisdictions. It’s also a chance to tell our biggest energy customers first-hand about our Climate Leadership Plan and energy innovation programs, and to show that Alberta is a great place to do business.”

Cameron Westhead, MLA Banff-Cochrane

CSG Midwest is a non-profit organization that provides state and provincial lawmakers an opportunity to share best policy practices and discuss regional issues.
