To enable this, R Cochrane advocates for the increase in advertising campaigns to showcase programs offered within the Legislative Assembly Office to increase political involvement.<ref name="merged1">{{cite tweet |last=Theriault |first=Courtney |user=cspotweet |number=1556821494088536066 |date=August 9, 2022 |title=Here are the winners of Alberta's "Her Vision Inspires Essay Contest".
