Alberta NDP says it would build hockey arenas and improve other facilities if elected
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Alberta NDP said it will bring in a program to build and improve community associations, hockey arenas and ball diamonds in communities across the province if it is elected on May 29, 2023.
The party explains that the program, dubbed Hometown Alberta, would create 1,500 jobs over three years.
Leader Rachel Notley said it will also build stronger communities by supporting municipalities and non-profits to build, repair or expand local facilities.
She adds that the program would increase grant funding by 50 per cent to $75 million annually and add another $100 million annual capital investment through partnerships.
