As of April 1, when seniors visit their preferred registry office, they will be eligible for a discount on services like vehicle registration renewals, driver’s licenses, standard plates, and vital statistics products like marriage licenses.

Alberta’s government is working to ensure every Albertan receives required surgeries within clinically recommended wait times. The latest waitlist data shows more Albertans are receiving their surgeries within clinically recommended times than at any time since 2020. The government will also continue to invest in acute care, prioritizing initiatives like the Facilitated Access to Specialized Treatment (FAST) program and Rapid Access Clinic pilot to reduce surgical wait times. Albertans deserve reliable health care, and a new, integrated system will improve patient outcomes to better support our world-class health care professionals.
