Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wrote Calgary Major Jyoti Gondek Tuesday, asking to “work together to explore the option of expanding Calgary’s LRT system to the Calgary International Airport [YYC] and for the potential creation of a rail link between Calgary and Canmore/Banff,” confirmed a spokesperson for Smith.
Smith posted the full text of the letter on her Twitter account. The Nov. 15 letter said Calgary is a critical provincial hub for energy and technology, with people moving to Calgary for jobs, affordable housing, “and of course, proximity to our breathtaking mountain parks.” The premier envisions hydrogen-powered locomotives, which would reduce emissions and would “make Alberta a world leader in hydrogen technology research, development, and manufacturing.”
