Happy fall! I hope your summer was filled with sunshine, rest, and relaxation, and that you are ready to take on the upcoming season.
It is great to see the progress on the new Evanston Middle School. This is a strong example of our government’s commitment to supporting families by investing in new schools and growing communities across Alberta. This project remains on schedule, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2026.
In Alberta, we are turning our resource strength into lasting financial security through strategic, large-scale investments in the Heritage Fund. Our latest $2.8 billion investment is helping the fund hit a record high of $30 billion. This will support the government’s overall target of growing the Heritage Fund to $250 billion by 2050.
Through Budget 2025, the government is delivering on its promise to responsibly increase funding for the arts, including a $4.5 million increase to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA). This increased investment is already making an impact, helping artists and arts organizations across the province expand their reach and bring inspiring experiences to more Albertans.
Legal Aid Alberta contributes to the well-being of low-income and other vulnerable Albertans and provides meaningful access to legal rights and protections benefiting all Albertans. Within the last year, Alberta’s government contributed $88.1 million to Legal Aid Alberta and supported Albertans in more than 319,000 legal matters, including 45,000 full representation certificates.
These investments within school construction, the arts, financial security, and justice reflect Alberta’s commitment to its citizens, while building a resilient path for the future.
