WOW!
In less than 24 hours #Budget2024 will shape Canada's research & innovation future 🇨🇦 We hope for ⬆️ in Tri-agency scholarships, fellowships, & grants. New investments could empower grad students & postdocs, boosting diversity & excellence. Stay tuned! #SupportOurScience
Nail firmly hit on the head. Most importantly the federal $ we get is spent in Alberta. Not only does that $ create knowledge it contributes to the economy in very real and tangible ways.
