- Doug Horner, Deputy Premier, President of Treasury Board and Enterprise, Minister Responsible for Corporate Human Resources
- Jack Hayden, Minister Responsible for Tourism, Parks and Recreation
- Cal Dallas, Minister Responsible for Intergovernmental, International and Aboriginal Relations
These gentlemen visited Lacombe as part of a 4-day province-wide tour that will see Redford and her cabinet ministers visit 25 cities and towns, attending community events and meetings with seniors, students, business leaders and others. “I think it’s important for us as cabinet to listen to what Albertans are saying," Redford told the Edmonton Journal. "We’ve done it every single year and we’ll continue to do it because we think it’s important, not only to see what’s going on but also to hear how decisions government is making are affecting people.”
"Those attending the breakfast asked the ministers many questions about health care, education, and Alberta's economy," said Ritchey. "All three ministers expressed a great deal of optimism about Alberta's future."
Mr. Ritchey spoke briefly with Deputy Premier Horner and thanked him for his government's support for independent schools. "Mr. Horner said Premier Redford and her government value giving Albertans a choice when it comes to their children's education," said Ritchey.
