“Labour Day provides an important opportunity to recognize Alberta’s workers and the extraordinary contributions they make to our province’s economy and communities.

“Alberta’s workforce is the backbone of the economic engine of Canada. Each day it makes our province the best place to live, work and raise a family.

“Our government is working to promote safe, fair and healthy workplaces that support job creation, investment attraction and our continued economic leadership.

“On behalf of Alberta’s government, thank you to the 2.5-million Alberta workers for what you do each day. We wish you all a happy Labour Day.”
