While national employment numbers trend downward, recent Statistics Canada data reveals that Alberta bucked the trend by adding thousands of jobs and driving the provincial employment rate upward.

A shifting local labour market brings unique opportunities and challenges for both local employers expanding their teams and professionals navigating new employment contracts, hiring standards, or workplace transitions. Understanding your rights and obligations under Alberta employment law is key as local market conditions evolve.

While national employment rates are on the decline, Alberta saw an uptick in employment in September, according Statistics Canada.

Understanding the subtle differences between deductible baskets and tipping baskets can significantly impact your maximum exposure and recovery rights after the deal closes.

The AER's formal abandonment order against MAGA Energy highlights the rising regulatory risk surrounding environmental non-compliance and unpaid liabilities in Alberta.

For producers, buyers, and lenders, the message is clear: the AER is moving faster to shut down non-compliant operators, and asset transfers face growing scrutiny. Thorough regulatory due diligence on asset purchases and strict adherence to end-of-life obligations are no longer optional.

Can an Alberta Personal Directive include your end-of-life wishes?

Yes. While a Will manages your assets after death and a Power of Attorney handles finances during your lifetime, a Personal Directive ensures your personal and medical care preferences are documented while you are alive.

Through a Personal Directive, you can:

▪️Designate a trusted agent to make medical decisions on your behalf
▪️Specify instructions regarding medical treatments and end-of-life care
▪️Ensure your core values and quality-of-life priorities guide healthcare decisions

Taking the time to draft a clear Personal Directive gives you peace of mind and gives your family clarity when it matters most.

Learn more about documenting your healthcare wishes in our latest blog post:
