Todd Hirsch, Chief Economist, ATB Financial returns as guest speaker this month.

He'll be discussing Alberta's Economic Outlook for 2014.

The global economy continues its hesitant and uneven recovery in 2013. China and the other BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies have shifted into a lower gear, but the U.S. economy has started to pick up steam. Europe remains in recession yet the most worrisome clouds on that continent have parted. Where does Canada and Alberta fit into this emerging global economic landscape? And what trends and opportunities will present themselves in 2014?
