Alberta’s Site Selector Tool will help promote Alberta as destination of choice for business and investment
New tool making investing even easier in Alberta
Alberta’s government is committed to maintaining its strong business environment that promotes investment and economic growth. The Site Selector Tool provides businesses and investors the data they need to make informed decisions about setting up shop or expanding in communities across the province.
“Alberta’s government is always looking for ways to attract job-creating investment to the province. The Site Selector Tool is another way our government is making Alberta even more investment-friendly by putting critical information at the fingertips of people looking to invest here.”
This user-friendly tool combines available property listings in communities across Alberta with insights on local economic conditions, industry data and proximity to crucial infrastructure like rail terminals and power lines. It is helping investors from around the world find available properties in Alberta that are suited to their unique needs.
“Technology is the driving force behind the growth and diversification of our economy. By providing digital tools that connect businesses and prospective investors to the opportunities that abound in our province, we are ensuring that our province’s national leadership in economic growth and job creation continues.”
Municipalities and economic developers across the province identified a site selector tool as a valuable resource to help them attract business and promote their communities as a destination of choice to potential investors. The Site Selector Tool complements the province’s business-friendly programs and policies to attract investment, further solidifying Alberta as the economic and job creation engine of Canada.
“This Site Selector Tool will be an excellent resource for Alberta economic developers in their efforts to create thriving communities. This centralized resource equips Alberta economic developers with the breadth of data needed to strategically identify investment opportunities, foster informed decision-making, and drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity across our province.”
Quick Facts
- Alberta’s government distributed a survey to municipalities, regional economic development organizations and industry associations in August 2022.
- Half of the survey respondents noted that they do not have the proper online tools to promote properties in their municipality or region, with 92 per cent of respondents indicating that they would use a site selector tool.
- With almost 7,000 available properties already featured on the tool, Alberta’s remote and rural regions are being empowered with access to free, easy-to-use data and a platform to pinpoint and shine a spotlight on local opportunities.

From Bonnyville RCMP
On May 3, 2025, at approximately 6:55 p.m., a male suspect drove a stolen trackhoe into the parking lot of the Bonnyville RCMP. The suspect dumped several boulders in front of the prisoner bay and then proceeded to damage 5 police vehicles, which were parked in the lot. The suspect then fled on foot.
Bonnyville RCMP, Police Dog Services and RPAS (drone), searched for the suspect and he was quickly located in a tree line just north west of the detachment. He was arrested and is currently in custody pending a Judicial
Interim Release Hearing.
The suspect cannot be named at this point as the charges have not been sworn before the courts. An updated media release is expected in the coming days.

Pierre Poilievre will run to represent Camrose, Stettler, Hanna, and Drumheller in Central Alberta by-election
From LifeSiteNews
Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek announced Friday he would be willing to give up his seat as an MP so Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat Monday, could attempt to re-join Parliament.
Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek announced Friday he would be willing to give up his seat in a riding that saw the Conservatives easily defeat the Liberals by 46,020 votes in this past Monday’s election. Poilievre had lost his seat to his Liberal rival, a seat which he held for decades, which many saw as putting his role as leader of the party in jeopardy.
Kurek has represented the riding since 2019 and said about his decision, “It has been a tremendous honor to serve the good people of Battle River—Crowfoot.”
“After much discussion with my wife Danielle, I have decided to step aside for this Parliamentary session to allow our Conservative Party Leader to run here in a by-election,” he added.
Newly elected Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney used his first post-election press conference to say his government will unleash a “new economy” that will further “deepen” the nation’s ties to the world.
He also promised that he would “trigger” a by-election at once, saying there would be “no games” trying to prohibit Poilievre to run and win a seat in a safe Conservative riding.
Poilievre, in a statement posted to X Friday, said that it was with “humility and appreciation that I have accepted Damien Kurek’s offer to resign his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot so that I can work to earn the support of citizens there to serve them in Parliament.”
“Damien’s selfless act to step aside temporarily as a Member of Parliament shows his commitment to change and restoring Canada’s promise,” he noted.
“I will work to earn the trust of the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot and I will continue to hold the Liberal minority government to account until the next federal election, when we will bring real change to all Canadians.”
Carney said a new cabinet will be sworn in on May 12.
