The Provincial Government is holding three telephone town halls this week so that Albertans can have their say in the planning of Budget 2021.

The first town hall goes on Monday, November 30, and will be open for communities north of Edmonton, including those in the Peace Region.

The next will be held for those in central region on Wednesday, and on Thursday those in southern Alberta will be able to participate.

“We are developing Alberta’s budget in a time of incredible challenge, which makes hearing from all Albertans even more important,” says Travis Toews, MLA for Grande Prairie – Wapiti, Minister of Finance and President of the Treasury Board.

“Our mid-year fiscal update showed some improvement but the road to recovery is long. Over the past year Alberta has been hit hard, but we are also the most resilient province in the nation. I look forward to hearing from Albertans as we tackle these challenges together.”
