Recent events for the Albertan Ombudsman’s office highlight connection with community organizations and Indigenous entrepreneurs.
Public engagements in Edmonton this fall provided the office with opportunities to raise awareness of Ombudsman services.
Representatives from the Alberta Ombudsman’s office, including Ombudsman Kevin Brezinski, attended the following events as part of ongoing efforts to raise awareness of our services.
Resource Connect
Resource Connect is an annual trade show presented by REACH Edmonton that brings together a community of over 70 agencies and service providers from across Edmonton. We connected with hundreds of attendees and discussed challenges they are seeing in their communities as well as potential opportunities for future networking and outreach.
Apeetogosan (Métis) Development Inc.’s Indigenous Business Trade Show
This event offered the opportunity to engage directly with Indigenous entrepreneurs, business owners, community members, and organizational partners during Small Business Week in Edmonton. We hosted a booth, delivered a presentation, and toured the trade show, meeting many talented artists and business owners.
Nonprofit Day 
Presented by the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (ECVO), Nonprofit Day offered a strategic platform to engage with senior leaders and board members from various non-profit organizations across Alberta. This event provided a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about our role in promoting fairness and accountability in public services, especially for those who may face systemic barriers or lack awareness of their rights.
