Happy Family Day

Alberta Advantage: Alberta’s entrepreneurial spirit is thriving again. The number of new incorporations increased by 5.5% last year. Our province continues to create jobs at a rapid pace and across a variety of economic sectors. People are coming to Alberta from across the country in search of good jobs, affordable homes, and economic opportunity. In 2022, Alberta saw the nation’s highest gains in interprovincial migration with a total of 34,493 people moving to Alberta. Alberta’s economy is diversifying, and our traditional industries are strong. For the third year in a row, we are on pace to shatter our venture capital investment record.

Affordability and Utilities: Many Albertans are struggling with increased costs and inflation. As a province, we cannot solve this inflation crisis on our own, but due to our strong fiscal position and balanced budget, we can offer substantial relief to Albertans and their families. The Ministry of Affordability and Utilities was created to deliver immediate cost of living and inflation relief, while also working across government and utilities to support long-term affordability for Albertans. The Alberta Government has announced $2.8 billion in new relief measures that will make life more affordable for Albertans and businesses.

Healthcare Action Plan: As part of the Healthcare Action Plan, Alberta’s government is working with AHS to improve EMS response times and open acute care beds in emergency departments faster. Paramedics are highly skilled health professionals who are trained to respond in times of crisis. The Alberta Government wants to ensure their skills are being used in the best way possible, while also ensuring Albertans are not left waiting after a call to 911. Instead of using ambulances for patients who do not require medical support during transport, AHS will arrange for alternative transportation. This would utilize options like community shuttles and wheelchair accessible taxis for patients who need to be transported back home.
