THIS WEEK IN ALBERTA

  • It’s a holiday and we hope you are enjoying your long weekend. Last week was also the first-ever Alberta Day.
  • While the Assembly remains on hiatus until October 31st, there is some activity in the Legislature building this week. The Select Special Ombudsman and Public Interest Commissioner Search Committee will meet on Wednesday at 1:00 pm. No agenda is available for this meeting.
  • Legal Aid attorneys are continuing with job action, refusing serious cases and protesting outside of courthouses in Calgary and Edmonton. Lawyers are asking for higher pay and more funding to expand Legal Aid to more Albertans. Justice Minister Tyler Shandro says that nothing can be done until the fall budget and that the program is adequately funded.
