Budget telephone town hall tonight

Feb 7, 2019 | 12:29 PM

EDMONTON, AB — Southern Alberta residents will have their opportunity to weigh in on the provincial budget during a telephone town hall session tonight (February 7).

The town hall will run from 6-7:30 p.m., and will include Finance Minister Joe Ceci. Residents who in Red Deer and communities located south of Red Deer are able to participate.

Publicly listed telephone numbers that are not on provincial or national do not call lists will be dialed and invited to participate in the call. Participants can also choose to register online in advance at the link here. 

Interested participants may also dial into the town hall toll free at 1-877-229-8493 at least 10 minutes before it begins. They will need to enter the code 115500 to participate.

The 90-minute call will be moderated, and there will be a question and answer period.

Albertans can also listen and submit questions online at this link. Online feedback will be accepted until February 10.

A date for a budget release has not been announced. The legislature will convene on March 18 for the Speech from the Throne, with many speculating the provincial election will be called around that time.
