EDMONTON- Alberta’s minister of economic development, trade and tourism is travelling to Illinois and Minnesota this week, and the government says there will be a particular focus on Alberta’s agriculture sector.
Tanya Fir will meet with business leaders and state legislators in Chicago and Minneapolis as part of a mission to strengthen Alberta’s trade and attract investment.
The province says Illinois and Minnesota are two of Alberta’s largest export markets, and that Chicago and Minneapolis are home to many company headquarters with significant investments in Alberta’s agriculture sector.
The estimated cost of the mission for Fir, one political staff member and one public servant is $9,500.
