The Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) supports the building of new and enhancing of existing community spaces such as heritage locations, community halls, community theatres, festival spaces, and many more.

A new Aging with Dignity funding agreement with the federal government will enhance Alberta’s continuing care transformation efforts to support Albertans as they age. To meet the growing needs of an aging population and ensure the future of the province’s continuing care system, Alberta’s government has committed $1 billion over three years to transform continuing care in Alberta. Also, $654 million in funding has been allocated over three years for the Continuing Care Capital Program to improve access to continuing care spaces and reduce emergency department wait times by freeing up more beds.
