The Legislature
remains adjourned this week, but the Standing Committee on Legislative Offices will hold a meeting today from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Committee will review the 2021-2022 Annual Report of the Child and Youth Advocate.
Albertan families with a household income of less than $180,000 will be able to apply for affordability cheques starting January 18th. These cheques consist of six monthly payments of $100 each. Individuals receiving benefits through AISH or other income supports will receive their payments automatically. However, others, including those previously mentioned who also have children, will need to apply through the government's online portal.
Voting is now open on potential design options for a $20 million renovation of the wading pool area at the Legislature building in Edmonton. Albertans can give feedback on which elements and features are most important to them. The survey results will be posted online before construction starts on the wading pool, which is expected to begin in spring 2023 and conclude in 2024. The survey can be taken online and is open until January 27th. Not spending $20 million and cutting taxes instead, is not one of the survey options, unfortunately.
