What Should Alberta Prioritize in Budget 2026?
Official title: Budget 2026 consultation
Alberta wants to know what matters most to you before finalizing its 2026 budget. The province is looking for input on spending priorities, fiscal decisions, and how to meet the needs of a growing population. Your feedback will directly shape the budget released in February 2026.
Why This Matters
This is your chance to tell the government where your tax dollars should go. Worried about healthcare wait times? Want better roads? Think education needs more funding? This is how you make your voice heard before decisions are made.
What Could Change
Budget 2026 will determine funding levels for healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social programs across Alberta. The government says it's focused on prudent fiscal decisions while meeting the needs of a growing province. Your input could influence where billions of dollars get allocated.
