United Conservatives promise 25 per cent seniors discount for some services

May 11, 2023 | 3:38 PM

CALGARY, AB – The United Conservative Party (UCP) is promising to make life more affordable for seniors in Alberta.

Leader Danielle Smith said the help will include introducing a 25 per cent discount for seniors on personal registry services, camping fees and medical driving exams.

Smith adds that many seniors are living on fixed incomes and are struggling to cover monthly expenses.

She is blaming NDP leader Rachel Notley for higher costs related to her support of a federal carbon tax.

Smith explains that the discount would be automatically applied when Alberta seniors go to a registry or book a provincial camping spot.
