EALT Introduced in the Legislature

EALT was delighted to be invited to the Legislative Assembly on 23 February, by the MLA for Edmonton-Centre, Laurie Blakeman.

EALT staffer Pam Wight, Chair of the Board, Marg Reine, and Director Glen Thoman were welcomed, introduced to the House, and thanked for their work:

In Question Period, Ms Blakeman then asked a series of questions related to land trusts and EALT, which were particularly directed at which ministries have responsibility for funding:

We were pleased to have the focus of members of the Legislative Assembly, and to have Ms Blakeman raise some pertinent issues and astute questions.

Thank you!
