We are investing more than $30 million to enhance addiction, mental health, and homelessness supports in Edmonton.

This includes adding over 400 new treatment, housing, and stabilization beds, so people can get the help they need.

We are building more pathways to care.

Through the coordinated efforts of Alberta Sheriffs' SCAN unit and the Lethbridge Police Service, decisive action was taken to address this problem property, helping restore a sense of safety and security for nearby residents.

Had the opportunity to visit the Therapeutic Living Unit (TLU) in the Calgary Correctional Centre with @MikeEllisUCP and Ontario’s Associate Solicitor General @zeeinmilton.

Humbling to hear about the hard work members of the program are doing to pursue a path of recovery.

It is always such a pleasure to be at the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre.

AARC’s treatment program is designed for youth 12 to 21 who are diagnosed with substance use disorder.

Addiction is a treatable illness and there is always hope.

“Wake up. Save lives. Repeat.”

Beautiful morning for Wood’s Homes Annual Stampede Breakfast!

This incredible organization is marking 100 years of providing mental health treatment and support for children, youth, and their families.

Also great to see the level of community support for Wood’s Homes!

Canada needs the infrastructure to get our energy resources to market.

That’s why Alberta has submitted a responsible, world-class proposal for a new oil pipeline to the West Coast.

It will connect Alberta’s energy resources to Asian markets, like Japan, Korea, and India.

[Rick Wilson @Richard4Alberta]

Great to be at the Mustard Seed today and hear what they are doing to help Calgarians in need.

Pleasure to join @ABDanielleSmith, @neudorf_ab, and @NolanDyckAB for a tour and to serve some delicious food!
