Alberta has announced the New North America Initiative with a $6.5 million investment, aiming to bolster the province's relationship with the United States by enhancing policy research.

The University of Calgary will lead this initiative, which is designed to expand research capabilities, foster academic partnerships, and prepare for potential changes in U.S. policy that could affect Alberta. The program will facilitate collaboration between researchers, government officials, and industry professionals to protect Alberta's interests and enhance its role within the North American continent. Additionally, the initiative will promote collaboration between Alberta and U.S. universities to train students and create new policy-related insights. This strategic move underscores the importance of adaptability and proactive engagement in the face of evolving international dynamics.
