Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. The shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you. * Take lessons.

Bill 2: The Open for Business
Act will address some of the
policies passed by the previous
NDP government that have had
the effect of killing jobs in Al-

for compassionate leave and re-

also end the practice of forcing
employers to pay holiday pay to
employees who are not working
and give employees more free-
dom and flexibility to bank over-
time hours.
One of the problems identified
by businesses across Alberta has
been the raising of the minimum
wage law. I have met with local
employers who are very con-
cerned with the impacts that the
minimum wage has had on their
business. Across Alberta we have
seen the average number of em-
ployees in the restaurant industry
drop from 13 to 11.7 employees
between 2015-2018. We have
record high youth unemployment
at 11.6%. It is critical that youth
have the opportunity to gather the
needed experience and knowl-
edge that a first job creates. At
$15 dollars/hour businesses had
to adjust by laying off youth who
did not have the necessary skill
