The telephone town halls will take place on Nov. 30, Dec. 2 and Dec. 3. Albertans will have the opportunity to share their ideas and priorities directly with Minister of Finance Travis Toews, as Alberta’s government prepares Budget 2021.
“We are developing Alberta’s budget in a time of incredible challenge, which makes hearing from all Albertans even more important. 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.”
