Creating one day every year to celebrate Alberta is in keeping with the Fair Deal Panel recommendation to “explore ways and means to affirm Alberta’s cultural, economic and political uniqueness.”
The Government of Alberta will host Alberta Day celebrations in Edmonton and Calgary and will support other municipalities in planning and hosting their own events, potentially in conjunction with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. More details will be shared in the coming months.
In the lead up to the first Alberta Day this September, the Government of Alberta will launch a communications and engagement campaign celebrating Alberta’s history, its people and its contributions to Confederation. See Full Release
