Happy New Year!
May 2025 bring you joy, success, and a year filled with happiness, growth, and everything you wish for.
In May 2022, Alberta’s government invested $5 million over three years to enhance financial literacy for students. Enriched Academy, the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, and Junior Achievement receive annual funding to provide financial literacy programs for grades K-12. These initiatives teach vital skills like saving, budgeting, and investing, aligned with the curriculum. By integrating financial literacy into education and funding dedicated resources, Alberta is equipping students with the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the fundamental life skills they need to prosper in adulthood and secure their futures in todays fast-moving world.
Alberta’s government is improving healthcare access by expanding the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) through the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Program (NPPCP). Since its April launch, 33 NPs are now practising independently, with 56 applications approved. The program allows NPs to work autonomously or join existing practices, with a requirement to maintain a panel of at least 900 patients, providing after-hours care, and accepting walk-ins, enhancing flexibility for Albertans.
Albertans’ feedback helps shape financial priorities and address the needs of our growing population. Budget 2025 will maintain a responsible approach to supporting Albertans while strengthening health care, education, and economic resilience. Your input is essential, share your ideas and priorities at https://www.alberta.ca/budget-2025-consultation. Businesses, municipalities, community groups, and other stakeholders can also provide feedback via the online portal. All input will be shared with Minister Horner to ensure diverse perspectives are considered. The survey and portal are open until Sunday, January 12. Let’s work together to create a brighter future for Alberta!
Thank you to my constituents for their support, wishing you all a joyous and prosperous New Year.
