Leaving a Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we draw closer to our 2026 centennial, I\u2019m often asked about AMA\u2019s legacy. After nearly 100 years serving this province, what\u2019s the mark we\u2019ll collectively leave behind? But maybe the better question is this: how will we build a strong foundation for what\u2019s ahead? In thinking about that unknown future and its endless possibilities, I believe there\u2019s no greater gift we can provide than an environment where our children\u2014and their children\u2014can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, that means taking action now to protect our planet, create safer communities, nurture childhood well-being, and ensure every Albertan has access to healthy food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obstacles can feel enormous: climate change is already reshaping the land we love, and a historic number of Canadian families are struggling with food insecurity. At the same time, cultivating safe, equitable, and supportive spaces for kids to grow remains a significant challenge. As an organization, and as fellow Albertans, there\u2019s still a lot we\u2019re trying to figure out\u2014and we won\u2019t get it right every time. But looking back on 2024, I feel optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent successes we\u2019ve shared as a membership family prove that big change can happen in small ways. From a new bursary program for Alberta teachers, to our food bank fundraising, to reduced idling time across our fleet operations, 2024 was a year every AMA member can be proud of. I hope that in reading our third annual Impact Report, you feel as inspired as we do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better tomorrow is built on the choices we make today. And with the power of a million members behind us, I\u2019m confident our legacy of sustainability, safety and community will be felt for generations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Corporate Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been an exciting, challenging and, at times, daring few years for AMA as we continue to build out our corporate responsibility programs. From the beginning, we knew we were opening a door for our members; what we didn\u2019t know was whether they\u2019d walk through it. I couldn\u2019t be happier to share that they did\u2014and they brought their friends and neighbours with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/summary>\n

In 2024, we were thrilled to see the community\u2019s response to our efforts to contribute to a more sustainable and vibrant future for Alberta. From our partnership with Project Forest, to our year-round commitment to local food banks, to teachers taking advantage of our School Garden Studio bursary, the amount of positive feedback and participation has been overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members have been especially enthusiastic about our Pollinator Program, with bee adoptions and honey sales empowering them to support a shared commitment to biodiversity, food security, and healthy ecosystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our suite of EV services has also struck a chord in a major way. From roadside assistance to driver education, our members love having greener options, and the peace of mind that AMA is there for them regardless of what they drive. It\u2019s pretty inspiring to see how many Albertans are making the switch to EVs and encouraging others to consider cleaner alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report shares a lot of facts and numbers; these are a big part of being transparent and accountable. But we\u2019re also telling an important story: one of AMA and our members taking meaningful action, making change, and rallying around a brighter future. It shows how much we all care about making Alberta a better place for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for anyone looking to join us, the door is always open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
