In response to potential economic disruptions stemming from proposed tariffs on Canadian goods and services by the United States and China—Canada’s two largest trading partners—chaired by the Town of Sundre, a coalition of eleven Central Alberta municipalities has formed the Central Alberta Economic Resilience Taskforce (CAERT). This initiative aims to:

• Encourage import replacement in favour of domestically produced goods and a diversification of trading partners.
• Advocate for economically favourable conditions and trade agreements
• Collect data to inform strategies that enhance regional economic resilience

Economic Resilience Survey 

In the summer of 2025, CAERT conducted a survey of Central Alberta businesses to understand how tariffs and other economic conditions are impacting their operations. The results of the survey will be posted here shortly.
