CALGARY – Leaders of Alberta’s two main political parties are back on the election campaign trail in Calgary.

Voting day is set for May 29.

NDP Leader Rachel Notley has announced a plan to hire thousands of teachers and support workers in the public education system if her party wins.

United Conservative Party Leader Danielle Smith appeared on Global News and was set to spend time with volunteers and voters.

She says she won’t be campaigning on some of her party’s more contentious ideas such as the sovereignty act, a provincial police force or an Alberta pension plan.

Smith’s next media availability is set for Saturday.
