Throughout Sexual Violence Awareness Month, Hope the teddy bear travelled through the Legislature, helping bring attention to the importance of supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
Along the way, it joined conversations with Premier @ABDanielleSmith, colleagues, community leaders and partners who share a commitment to ensuring survivors feel heard, supported and safe.
Thank you to all the organizations across Alberta that work every day to support survivors and their families.
Help is always available; if you or someone you know needs support, call or text the Alberta One Line for Sexual Violence at 1-866-403-8000.

I had a very engaging roundtable discussion with the @aasasmembership from across Alberta, and was happy to hear how continued investments are helping sexual assault centres reduce wait times, expand supports, and strengthen prevention efforts.
Budget 2026 invests more than $93 million toward the prevention of family and sexual violence, including funding for 15 sexual assault centres across Alberta.
Help is available. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text the Alberta One Line for Sexual Violence at 1-866-403-8000.

Ten years ago today we took to home ice for the opening game of the 2016 Memorial Cup wearing jerseys paying tribute to historic CFB Penhold - which opened as an air base during WW II and was decommissioned in 1994
I’ve heard from Calgarians across the city: I support keeping Calgary’s free fare zone.
It makes downtown safer and more accessible. We need to support local businesses, and keep transit a practical option for workers, students, seniors, and visitors making short trips through our core.
Can you believe a whole decade has flown by?!
10 years ago today the 2016 Memorial Cup got underway with an epic trophy arrival ceremony in downtown Red Deer.
Were you there?
DYK? Alberta's current electricity supply mix is 61% natural gas, 38% renewables and 1% energy storage.
As electricity demand grows, natural gas will play an important role as a reliable, affordable source of dispatchable baseload power that will ensure have the power they need, when they need it most. We're encouraged that the federal government recognized this in the release of their national electricity strategy.
Long-term, we're exploring adding nuclear energy to our energy mix and you can read the report and recommendations from our recent public engagement here: https://t.co/wRgo1wDb2n
We cannot gamble Alberta's energy security on whether the sun shines or not. Our families, hospitals, businesses and communities depend on electricity that works around the clock - regardless of the weather.
The NDP’s attempt to tie the UCP to the separatist data breach is blatantly dishonest and pretty rich, coming from the party whose own MLA was convicted of hacking public health records using Jason Kenney’s personal information... 1/2 #ableg
1/ Many Albertans have been impacted by the recent data breach and are rightfully concerned about their safety and privacy.
I want Albertans to know that your safety and well-being is top priority. Support is available for anyone feeling at risk or in need of assistance.
Call 211 Alberta 24/7 to connect with a variety of supports.
Went to go talk to Luke Schenn after Sabres morning skate ahead of Game 1 tonight and he asked me “are you here to ask me about the Leafs draft lottery?” ���
