Thank you to everyone who attended my town hall last month! It was great to see such a strong turnout and have honest conversations. Your input helps me represent our community effectively in Edmonton.
I’m also excited to join Ministers Schultz, Fir, Jones, and McIver for a joint Town Hall on the newly released budget. Join us on Tuesday, March 4, at 7:00 pm at the Delta (135 Southland Dr SE). I look forward to seeing you there!
Growing Alberta’s Heritage Fund to $250 Billion
I was honoured to be part of the Alberta government’s announcement to grow the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund to over $250 billion by 2050. This plan ensures financial stability for future generations while reducing reliance on volatile resource revenues.
A world-class board and corporation will be established to oversee investments using strategies from top sovereign wealth funds. Strong governance will ensure independent decision-making, maximizing returns for Albertans. The Heritage Fund Opportunities Corporation will also enhance the fund’s global profile, fostering key partnerships and investment opportunities.
This commitment secures a lasting financial legacy for Alberta’s future.
$15-a-Day Child Care for Families
Starting April 1, 2025, Alberta will introduce flat monthly parent fees for licensed childcare, ensuring affordability. Parents will pay $326.25 per month for full-time care and $230 for part-time, with the government covering about 80% of costs. This will save families an average of $11,000 per child annually.
The Child Care Subsidy Program will be phased out, redirecting funds to affordability grants. About 85% of licensed providers will receive increased funding, creating a more sustainable system.
