Alberta minister to host second AI data centre town hall for northern Sturgeon County
REDWATER - Alberta's Technology Minister Nate Glubish is set to host the second town hall on the province's plan for artificial intelligence data centres. This event, held in the town of Redwater, north of Edmonton in Sturgeon County, follows the government's announcement of a $13-billion AI data centre project by Meta. Glubish reassures residents that the province has implemented strict rules to safeguard local water supplies and maintain control over power costs.
Premier Danielle Smith will join Glubish in a virtual town hall on August 27, and another in-person meeting is scheduled for a later date in Grande Prairie.
