"As we mark Labour Day, Alberta's government extends its appreciation to the hard-working people who keep our province moving forward.

"This day is a time to recognize the incredible contributions of Alberta's workers. From the energy sector to health care, agriculture to education and trades to technology, your dedication, resilience and innovation are the backbone of our communities and economy. Without your hard work, Alberta would not be the incredible place it is today.

"Our government is committed to protecting workers' rights and fostering safe, fair and healthy workplaces. We will continue investing in skills training and supporting job creation through new investment by companies excited to do business in Alberta. This will strengthen Alberta's position as an economic leader in Canada and across the world.

"On behalf of Alberta's government, thank you to Alberta's workers for everything you do each day to build our province's prosperity. We wish you all a Happy Labour Day."
