October 3, 2011 (Calgary, Alberta) – On behalf of the Alberta College of Art + Design, I offer our sincere congratulations to Premier-designate Alison Redford for her superb win – this bodes very well for Alberta. Her strong belief in education as well as the role of culture, art and design in our society through cultural prosperity will be an asset to all of us. Her breadth and depth of experience in diversity will have many positive impacts in Alberta and Canada especially as it relates to the role of innovation and creative industries. We very much look forward to working with her and her new cabinet in making this an even stronger province.
Dr. Daniel Doz,
President + CEO
