So, we had all these containers around which are super valuable around here... so I did a hat raffle for the staff. Fun times.

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally announced, in Calgary on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, a new policy framework for permit approvals.
Slow permit approvals and regulatory hurdles have long held back businesses, job creators and economic growth. Alberta’s new “Automatic Yes Toolkit” for permits makes life better for Albertans by reducing red tape, speeding up project timelines and creating more opportunities for businesses and individuals to thrive – all while ensuring health, safety and environmental protections remain in place. By addressing long wait times and improving efficiency, this initiative aims to prevent project delays, create jobs and drive economic growth across the province.
The Automatic Yes Toolkit enables government to identify permits that can benefit from faster decision-making processes. For lower-risk and routine activities such as Water Act applications, permit approvals will be replaced with clear operating requirements, freeing up resources to focus on more complex applications. For permits requiring detailed reviews, the toolkit introduces mandatory time limits for government decisions, providing greater certainty for applicants.
