Alberta is calling, and we want you to pick up 📞 A new campaign by the BC government recognizes the benefits Alberta has to offer. Last year, we saw 30,675 people move to Alberta from BC. Here's why they answered our call: In Alberta, your paycheque goes further. We have Canada’s highest average wages, with lower housing, rent, and gas prices than British Columbia. An average home price of $420,000 CAD makes homeownership attainable, and Alberta residents benefit from no provincial sales tax. Our lifestyle is second to none. Alberta boasts 300+ days of sunshine a year, letting you experience skiing in Banff during the winter and exploring breathtaking national parks in the summer. Calgary ranks as Canada’s most livable city and third most diverse, while Edmonton is the most affordable city and home to Canada’s largest urban park and 50+ festivals annually. Alberta is calling you home. Are you ready to answer? https://lnkd.in/guHuAV4T #BigBoldAlberta #AlbertaAdvantage

Congratulations to Deep Sky on securing $40M from Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Catalyst for their transformative Alberta-based project! This marks Catalyst’s first-ever investment in a Direct Air Capture (DAC) project, and is a testament to Alberta's growing leadership in clean energy innovation and carbon removal solutions. The project will bring new opportunities to the province and the Town of Innisfail, including temporary construction jobs and permanent roles tied to the operation and development of these cutting-edge technologies. Read more about this exciting milestone: https://lnkd.in/gjUR9kp6 Rick Christiaanse, C.Dir #InvestAlberta #BigBoldAlberta #DeepSky
Deep Sky's 2024 in a nutshell: - First DAC facility begins construction in Alberta, on track to deliver carbon removal credits in Spring/Summer 2025. ✅ - Microsoft and RBC purchase our first carbon removal credits. ✅ - Carbon storage studies are underway in Québec. ✅ - Tripled world class team. ✅ - Already planning 3 commercial facilities. ✅ - And now…we’ve secured a $40M USD grant from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, bringing our total amount raised to more than $130M. ✅ The funds, subject to the satisfaction of funding conditions, will be allocated to the construction of Deep Sky Alpha (formerly Deep Sky Labs) and its associated research and testing of direct air capture (“DAC”) technologies. This marks Breakthrough Energy Catalyst’s first-ever investment in both a Canadian and Direct Air Capture (DAC) project, offering an incredible vote of confidence in Canada to become the carbon removal capital, in DAC technology as a tangible climate solution, and in Deep Sky for its ability to scale rapidly. We’re honored, humbled, and more unapologetically ambitious than ever. Read more:
