 Welcome to Alberta, Canada
Alberta is the leading beekeeping province of Canada, with some beekeepers wintering hives indoors in specially designed barns in southern Alberta, then migrating north during the summer into the Peace River valley where the season is short but the working days are long for honeybees to produce honey from clover and fireweed.
Alberta also has a large Hutterite population, a communal Anabaptist sect similar to the Mennonites, and a significant population of Seventh-day Adventists in and around the Lacombe area due to the presence of the Canadian University College.
Central and northern Alberta and the region farther north is the nesting-ground of the migratory birds.

 ABORIGINAL
In Alberta, the Métis of the Paddle Prairie Settlement in Northern Alberta managed to threaten the negotiation of governance restructuring.
Peter Lougheed, the Alberta Premier who began these negotiations to restructure the relationship between the province and one group of Métis in Alberta, wanted a made-in-Alberta solution to aboriginal self-reliance.7 "Resolution 18", which Lougheed introduced in the provincial legislature in 1982, was a commitment made by the government that led to the Métis Settlements Accord.8
However, it is important to note that within the constraining financial and legal boundaries set by the federal and provincial governments, in domains such as human resources policy, education policy or social policy, aboriginal decision-making may be relatively unencumbered.

Redistribution prior to the 1991 general election increased the region's representation to seven seats, six of which were won by the NDP.

The region's historic support for the centre-left, the 2001 general election results, recent public opinion polls and data from the 2001 census, led to an early Battleground BC decision to place Cowichan-Ladysmith, Nanaimo and North Island in the 'likely' NDP column.
