This spring, YEG broke ground on a $300-million, 2,000-acre cargo hub designed to strengthen trade connections.
For Myron Keehn (Accounting '92), president and CEO of Edmonton International Airport, the project is about more than infrastructure. It's about creating opportunities, helping connect Alberta businesses to global markets, supporting jobs and building capacity for future growth in the province.
His journey from accounting student to leading one of Canada's growing airports shows how a practical, real-world education can play a part in shaping the future of a region.

When William Hawrelak Park reopened this spring, many visitors said something surprising: it didn't look that different.
For the NAIT graduates who helped lead the park's $134.6-million rehabilitation, that was one of the highest compliments they could receive.
The challenge wasn't simply to modernize one of Edmonton's most cherished public spaces. It was to preserve what people loved about it while preparing it for decades to come.
For Phil Nastiuk, Alisha Meunier and Jesse Banford, the project was about creating a place where future generations can gather, celebrate, explore and make memories.
We're proud to see NAIT graduates helping shape the future in Edmonton, one project at a time. Read more about the project: https://techlifetoday.nait.ca/2026/behind-the-scenes-edmonton-hawrelak-park-rehabilitation
