Governments, communities and industry all depend on census data to plan, invest and build for Alberta’s future.
Don’t forget to fill out your 2026 census by May 12, so Albertans get their fair share of federal funding.

Premier Danielle Smith has set a clear mandate for Advanced Education: to deliver results that prepare Alberta students for success and ensure our workforce meets the needs of a growing province. We’ve already expanded mental health supports, created new pathways to train rural physicians, and modernized professional regulation through the Professional Governance Act.
Looking ahead, I’m focused on accelerating credential recognition, elevating the skilled trades, and protecting academic freedom on our campuses. Together, we’re building an education system that keeps opportunity and prosperity here in Alberta. #Alberta #GettingTheJobDone #MeetingTheChallenge #AdvancedEducation

Today, September 22, we celebrate the incredible value apprenticeships bring to Alberta. Apprenticeship education allows students to learn while they earn, gaining hands-on skills under the guidance of experienced mentors while building strong careers in the trades.
From high schools through the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) to our outstanding post-secondary institutions like NAIT, SAIT, Olds College, NWP and Northern Lakes College, Alberta is proud to offer pathways for students to explore, train, and succeed in more than 50 designated trades.
🛠 Apprentices are the backbone of Alberta’s economy — building our communities, powering our industries, and shaping our future.
Today we say thank you to apprentices, journeypersons, employers, and instructors who keep our province moving forward.

Alberta’s government is building a skilled workforce to meet the labour needs of today while tackling the challenges of the future. That is why I was so proud to announce this morning that we are investing $100 million to redevelop @UAlberta’s Biological Sciences Building into what will become known as the Life Sciences Innovation and Future Technologies (LIFT) Centre.
This transformation will double laboratory spaces, increasing capacity and empowering an estimated 3,200 new students to enter high demand life sciences and STEM programs. The new LIFT Centre will be a world-leading hub for research and education, and I look forward to seeing shovels in the ground soon!

Our government is committed to protecting the investment Alberta students make in their education. That’s why we have launched an online registry that will allow prospective students to see if a private career college they are interested in has any compliance issues.
This will ensure students have the information they need before making important decisions about which institution to attend. For information, please visit:
