Restoring the Alberta Advantage
Dear Friends,
Help is on the way for Albertans calling 911 and for those needing emergency health care.
As part of the Healthcare Action Plan, Alberta’s government is working with Alberta Health Services (AHS) to improve EMS response times and open acute care beds in emergency departments faster.
Our government is also working with AHS to take further action, including adding a triage physician to emergency department waiting rooms to support patient offloads, and allowing paramedics to assess and treat patients without having to transport them to hospital. We are taking action to address areas that need improvement in our healthcare system, so that Albertans can get emergency care when and where they need it.
Your provincial government is focused on continuing our economic momentum, helping families make ends meet, and renewing the Alberta Advantage for all. We recently announced a $2.4 billion affordability package that will increase benefits to seniors and the severely handicapped, as well as help everyday Alberta families by giving them substantial financial relief so that they can better manage through the current inflation crisis.
Our province continues to create jobs at a rapid pace and across a variety of economic sectors. While we represent just 12 percent of Canada’s population, we created nearly a quarter of all jobs in the nation last year. Forecasters are saying Alberta’s economic growth will be among the highest in the country in 2023.
This is all good news for Alberta families, who are going back to work and putting more money into their pockets.
Best wishes for a wonderful Family Day! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can ever be of service to you.
Warmest wishes,
