Feature Article: Alberta Education's discussion paper on reforms to the K-12 school system still leaves many gaps in information but indicates an intention to bring about sweeping changes. (Alberta Education's Inspiring Action website, Inspiring Action discussion paper, PDF, 776 KB)
Also in this week's edition:

- New population projections show the Calgary region being home to nearly half the province's population by 2050.
- An MLA committee claims quick and substantial progress in energy industry deregulation, but their list of initial achievements looks like a grab bag of results from work that was already underway.
- The Energy Department starts the next phase in a long-term project to guide Albertans toward signing up for retail electricity contracts.
- A legislature committee begins public hearings on minimum wage policy - there are few surprises.
- Government polls show voters warming up to the PCs again after a major outbreak of discontent last fall.
- The Heritage Fund has a big year for investment returns.
- The health minister sets his sights on a renewed emphasis on wellness and prevention.
