To address Calgary’s rapid population growth and rising school enrolments, the government has approved 18 new school projects, adding 14,400 student spaces.

The Calgary Catholic School Division will receive design funding for a new K-9 school.
Alberta’s government is boosting financial support for caregivers who offer their homes for children and youth in care, aiming to enhance well-being, address cost-of-living challenges, and strengthen stability. Investments include accessible counselling for foster caregivers, the refer-a-foster-caregiver program to expand the licensed foster family network, and new supports to aid caregivers in providing stability and connection for young adults transitioning out of care.
$85 million in grants has been invested to strengthen communities. This includes funding for Alberta’s Crowdfunding platform, capital grants, and community grant programs. Of this, $64 million is dedicated to programs like CFEP and CIP that boost economic growth, enhance gathering spaces, and encourage community connections.
The government is also investing $800 million over eight years in a cancer innovation value partnership with Siemens Healthineers and the Alberta Cancer Foundation. This initiative aims to improve outcomes, reduce wait times, and enhance early detection by updating oncology equipment, leveraging artificial intelligence, creating two centres of excellence in cancer care, and establishing a research and innovation fund to attract global talent.
