District Director Rick Brick meets with new Minister of Seniors in Alberta
Just a few weeks following a hotly contested election in Alberta, Federal Retirees’ District Director from the Prairies, Rick Brick, sat down with the new government’s Minister of Seniors and Housing, Josephine Pon (MLA for Calgary-Beddington). Federal Retirees is pleased to see that a Minister of Seniors has been appointed by the new government, as it was a key priority for the Association during the provincial election this spring.
Just 60 days into her mandate, Minister Pon noted that while her team was still getting up and running, consultation and input from groups representing seniors and retirees will be very important to her ministry. The National Association of Federal Retirees is looking forward to continuing to build open lines of communication with Minister Pon and her team.
