Alberta Builds a Stronger Future with Historic Investment and Physician Growth
Alberta is making significant progress on two key fronts: securing long-term financial stability and strengthening health care. The province’s Heritage Savings Trust Fund has reached a record high of $30 billion, thanks to a $2.8-billion contribution from surplus funds. This marks a major milestone in Alberta’s plan to grow the fund to $250 billion by 2050—a strategy aimed at creating a reliable, long-term source of funding for essential public services, including health care and education.
The Heritage Fund, originally created to save non-renewable resource revenue, is now a central part of Alberta’s roadmap to a prosperous and resilient future. By reinvesting income and accessing global investment opportunities through the newly modernized Heritage Fund Opportunities Corporation, Alberta is taking strategic steps to build wealth that will benefit future generations. Once the fund reaches its $250 billion goal, the income it generates will help stabilize the budget, support infrastructure, and keep taxes low.
At the same time, Alberta’s physician workforce is reaching record levels. As of June 30, 2025, there is a total of 12,327 physicians registered in the province—204 more than the previous quarter and 571 more than last year. This growth includes gains in both urban and rural areas, with a notable 8% increase in the North Zone.
These investments in financial security and health care reflect Alberta’s commitment to building a strong, sustainable future—where families thrive, communities grow, and core services are there when people need them most.
