Alberta became a province on September 1, 1905. In recognition of this anniversary and in celebration of our province’s unique spirit, culture and heritage, we have designated September 1 as Alberta Day.
A successful first Alberta Day
Under big Alberta skies, we spotlighted the stories, music, and spirit that bind us together and make Alberta unique. Thank you everyone who came out to events in Calgary, Edmonton and communities across the province to help make history celebrating the very first Alberta Day.
See you next year!
