ABOUT THE ALBERTA HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATION

Since its inception, the Alberta Hospitality Association has advocated for food and beverage operators who face continuous challenges in their day-to-day operations. Staff shortages and a reluctance to re-enter the workforce have made financial recovery difficult for businesses that wish to rebuild after the constraints of Covid-19. We recognize the immediate importance of connecting employers with potential employees and our association is actively working to ease this pain point.

We are also working to create ongoing engagement with federal, provincial, and municipal governments with the overall goal of eliminating redundancies and laws that hinder the hospitality industry. AHA aims to eliminate red tape and see greater profitability, and long-term vitality in our industry.
