Alberta is Canada’s fourth largest province by area and population, with an energy sector that is vital to the Canadian economy. The Government of Alberta recently expanded its presence in the United States with four representative offices, including a West Coast Office. Topics of discussion included the California-Alberta relationship and the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco.
