Memo: Alberta’s 2026 Budget Consultation

Cardus reiterates our recommendation to allocate $600 million of the $8.6 billion School Construction Acceleration Program to capital investment for independent and charter schools. This investment will help alleviate pressure on the public schooling system at a lower per-student cost.
