The second most cited concept for a vision was a good quality of life. These ideas ranged from more abstract ideas such as meaningful, healthy, and happy, to tangible outcomes like affordable housing and childcare. Quality of life referred to stability, success and celebration in work, community, family and cultural contexts.

Inclusion was the most often cited concept for a vision, using words like diversity, welcoming, belonging, embracing, and integration to convey the idea that Alberta should be a place where all people are empowered, acknowledged, and supported, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, level of ability, income, etc. Most participants felt diversity should be celebrated as a strength.

The original vision was Alberta will be one of the finest places in the world to live, work and raise a family because all Albertans have the opportunity to engage in our economic, social and cultural life. During Phase 1 we heard consistent messages about the proposed vision. Specifically participants reacted negatively to: - The use of the word finest. Participants felt that it implied competition with other jurisdictions and that this was not relevant. - The use of the phrase “raise a family”. Participants felt that it made the vision exclusive to those who choose to raise a family. There was also considerable discussion of the vision reflecting the importance of creating a more inclusive society, focusing on people, recognizing opportunity and the concepts of contribution and community.

My revision was mostly to put "access" earlier in the statement as Albertan's cannot benefit or engage without first being able to access such opportunities.

"Fully"could be defined differently by different people- "full to their ability" would be a better phrase Dynamic place to live -
