Alberta holds a second town hall on its plan for new AI data centres in Sturgeon County after public criticism at an earlier event, according to participating outlets. The event is led by an Alberta minister, with the second meeting intended to provide another chance for residents to ask questions and express concerns.
The town hall is scheduled for Sturgeon County, an area described as the expected site of a major AI data-centre project planned by Meta. One outlet links the discussion to a large proposed development, reported as a roughly $13-billion project. Another outlet notes that the previous session drew jeers and boos, highlighting that community response has been mixed and that officials are continuing outreach as plans progress.
Across the coverage, the core focus is Alberta’s engagement with northern communities about AI data-centre proposals, and how government messaging follows backlash to earlier consultations.
