The Legislative Assembly Standing Committee on the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund is inviting Albertans to a public meeting about the province’s main long-term savings fund.

The meeting runs Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Queen Elizabeth II Building at 9820 – 107 Street in Edmonton.

“This public meeting is an opportunity for Albertans to participate in an in-depth conversation with Members of the Legislative Assembly and those who oversee the fund’s management and investment,” says Tany Yao, MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo and committee chair.

The public can attend in person or watch live on Alberta Assembly TV, at assembly.ab.ca and on the Legislative Assembly’s social media channels.

Experts from Alberta Treasury Board and Finance and the Alberta Investment Management Corporation will provide an update on the fund’s performance, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Participants can ask questions in person, on Facebook and X using #abheritagefund, by email at Committee.Admin@assembly.ab.ca or by calling 1-800-717-1738 code 79940 during the meeting.

Albertans who cannot attend can submit comments and questions in advance at assembly.ab.ca/assembly-business/committees/HS. The committee will respond during the live event.

The Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund was created in 1976 with savings from Alberta’s non-renewable resources. It serves as the province’s main long-term savings account.

The committee reviews quarterly reports, approves the annual report and reports to the Legislative Assembly on whether the fund’s mission is being fulfilled. The committee is required to hold an annual public meeting on the fund’s investment activities and performance.
