2020 COVID-19 Pandemic Response

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus a global health emergency. The virus, known as COVID-19, was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Then, on March 11, 2020, the WHO assessed COVID-19 as a pandemic. 

Just like our response to the 2013 Southern Alberta Flood, and the 2016 For McMurray Wildfires, in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,  EDA is taking the lead in providing ideas, tools and resources to accelerate business and economic recovery. 

COVID-19 and Low Oil Prices Business Impact Survey 

Economic Developers Alberta (EDA), the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) and Community Futures Alberta are collaborating in the COVID-19 and Low Oil Prices Business Impact Survey.

Beyond COVID Webinar Series: Business & Economic Recovery

    Alberta Film’s Online Resource Directory is a new tool that will enable the province’s Screen-based industry workforce and support service companies to showcase their skills and services to industry professionals considering filming in our province.  We encourage all industry professionals, including pre-production resources, production staff and technical crew, producers and production companies, equipment and stages, post production facilities, and support services to register. Linkregistration

    The Online Resource Directory will open in June 2020 for public viewing and we would ask that you register and create a listing before the database goes public. Listings are free to create, and the online application typically takes 10 – 20 minutes to complete. Please note that the database is self populated and it is industry’s responsibility to keep the information current and accurate.
