The spaces in our communities are what make our communities. They're where we gather to laugh, play, celebrate, and support one another.

Our spaces need support, too.

Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP are announcing a new program called “Hometown Alberta” to build and improve local community facilities, like hockey rinks, in every corner of the province.

Many communities need facilities, and many communities need help to update their facilities.

After four years of UCP cuts, municipalities and non-profits across Alberta have been forced to make tough decisions, putting off or passing up on projects and facility improvements.

Rachel Notley will invest in our communities to give families a better future.

Our Hometown Alberta program will create 1,500 jobs over three years and build stronger communities by supporting municipalities and non-profits to build, repair, renovate, upgrade or expand local community facilities, including sports, recreational, religious, cultural and other public-use spaces.

Hometown Alberta would help build or improve community halls, legion halls, non-profit spaces, seniors centres, recreation centres, museum, art and culture centres, playgrounds, or places of worship.

Building off the current Community Facility Enhancement Program, we would increase grant funding available and add a new $100-million annual capital investment funding stream, so communities can build new spaces to gather at and enjoy!

Hometown Alberta will lead to hundreds of new community projects in every corner of the province, creating good jobs and building communities.

With Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP you can count on better spaces, better communities, and a better future.
