The New North America Initiative

Insights from Stakeholder Roundtables

In partnership with Calgary Economic Development, Edmonton Global and Lethbridge Economic Development, We convened three closed-door roundtable sessions with Alberta trade stakeholders in Fall 2025, in Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge. 

These listening sessions, conducted under the Chatham House Rule, brought together business leaders, economic developers and other experts who were identified and invited by our partners. 

This report contains grassroots intelligence on how U.S. trade disruptions are being felt and focuses on the ideas, new insights and opportunities identified by Alberta’s practitioners to inform actionable next steps.
