About Alberta First

Alberta First.com is a provincial, municipal and industry partnership dedicated to the promotion of business and community development across the Province of Alberta.

The website has been designed to be a source of information that will assist businesses and entrepreneurs in their business ventures. Detailed listings, statistics, profiles and opportunities are provided on key businesses, industry sectors, regions and communities throughout Alberta.

The website is overseen by a not-for-profit company, Alberta First.com Ltd., which is a consortium of approximately 180 Alberta municipalities and the Province of Alberta.

AlbertaFirst.com is supported by Alberta Economic Development, Industry Canada, and Western Economic Diversification. Private sector partners include the Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA).

The Alberta First.Com site has been developed using the Business Attraction Information System (BAIS) and the Alberta Real Estate databases as the basic building blocks. Additional sources of information and links have been added to enhance the information available to businesses and community members.

Access to information on the website is freely available to anyone using a standard web browser, however detailed information from the databases is available only to members. Membership is currently limited to Alberta Municipalities, the Government of Alberta and those organizations and groups involved in economic development.
