Our Vision

Creative and diverse communities growing together in Southeast Alberta.

Our Mission

To facilitate regional cooperation to position Southeast Alberta as an ideal location for business investment.

Our Mandate

To assist communities in regional projects and economic development activities that cannot be completed by communities on their own.

Core Focus Areas

Marketing and Communications – Make Southeast Alberta globally competitive by marketing the region on a larger scale and promoting initiatives to attract investment. It is also vital to promote the Palliser Economic Partnership as an effective regional alliance and the region as a healthy place to live and do business.

Regional Cooperation – Grow and build communities through capacity building and collaboration, ensuring strong, vibrant communities throughout the region. We support balanced and sustainable growth in member communities, building alliances, partnerships and networks that enhance economic development participation inside and outside the region.

Business Investment – Encourage sustainable economic growth by supporting business retention, economic diversity, investment attraction, industry innovation, and technology adoption and commercialization.
