Alberta culture is rooted first and foremost in the unwaivering fact that Albertan's dearly love and take great pride in their province. Our weather is extreme but that doesn't stop us from taking pride in working very hard, pulling over to the side of the road to pull someone out of the ditch, volunteering in the community, and treating other people with a level of dignity and respect that is enviable by most of the world.
We have created a place where men and women are equal and it is outrageous to suggest otherwise. We have created a place where education for boys and girls is mandatory and it is outrageous to suggest otherwise (and happily paid for through taxes). We have created a place with enough social programs to ensure every man woman and child has a place to turn to eat, sleep, be safe from abuse, recover from addiction and find employment. We care about each other.
We have created a place that allows us to enjoy and participate in both professional and amateur sports, theatre, film, music, art, and any other avenue of interest or passion. And despite being a little rough around the edges we are progressive and forward thinking, judging people by their character and their actions and not the color of their skin, their religion, or how much money they make.
Best I could do. I think I went over 250 words.
