Thank you Minister @RajanJSaw and @YourAlberta for the investment into @RedDeerPolytech. This funding will enhance our applied research impact and also provide more education and training opportunities across multiple key program areas, important to Alberta. #myrdp #albertabudget
Red Deer Polytechnic is playing a critical role supporting technological innovation while creating opportunities for students. That’s why Alberta’s Government is making a strategic investment to expand RDP’s Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing-Technology Access Centre (CIM-TAC) and give RDP even greater capacity to train apprentices and help sectors across our economy remain competitive.

Thank you Minister @AdrianaLaGrange for participating in @RedDeerPolytech's announcement of the Donald family gift in support of healthcare and education in the region, and your support of what our community is working to achieve in central Alberta. #abpse #myrdp #myreddeer
As the Minister of Health and on behalf of the Government of Alberta, I was honoured to be present at the Red Deer Polytechnic which received a record-breaking $20 million gift from the Donald family to create the Donald family institute. The Institute will support health care, health tech programming, and applied research in central Alberta and across the province. The Donald family’s continued compassion and love for Alberta is inspiring and will benefit generations of Albertans. Thank you for your leadership!

'Palate: a Taste of Local' hosted by @RDPAlumni was a huge success. Over 350 guests enjoyed food & drink from local restaurants, bakeries, brewers & distillers. An amazing showcase of Central Alberta's entrepreneurs in the food & beverage industry during #SmallBusinessWeek.
