This release was issued under a previous government.

The provincewide town halls are part of the government’s commitment to provide Albertans with accurate information on the Climate Leadership Plan and its pillars, including the carbon levy and rebates, ending coal pollution, and energy efficiency.

“This is an opportunity for Albertans to learn more about the Climate Leadership Plan – our made-in-Alberta solution to the very real issue of climate change. It is also a chance to hear directly from Albertans about their ideas, questions and concerns as we move together into a new era of climate leadership.”

Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks and Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office
