PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
In an ever-changing world with historically high rates of inflation, a provincial election around the corner and environmental issues such as climate change at the forefront, the ACPA has been busy adapting to this new world order. As our past president, Sean Stewart spoke about in his AGM message last year, a lot of effort has been put into preparing for the new legislation regulating professionals. Bill 23 has not received third reading and we are waiting to see who will be (re)elected in the upcoming election as this will certainly have an impact on whether this legislation moves forward or not. We feel that this new legislation will greatly help our organization as well as professional chemists in Alberta as it will level out the playing field and provide the ACPA with more opportunities to increase our presence within Alberta.
