Ceci hosting telephone town halls for Budget 2019

Feb 6, 2019 | 9:21 AM

Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci is hosting two telephone town halls to gather feedback for the next provincial budget.

The first is taking place today for residents in northern Alberta starting at 6 p.m.

The second telephone town hall for residents in Red Deer and all communities south goes tomorrow (Thursday) also starting at 6 p.m.

The 90-minute calls will be moderated with a question-and-answer period to follow after opening remarks.

Albertans with a publicly listed land line (not on the national or provincial Do Not Call list) will automatically receive a call. Residents who live north of Red Deer will receive a call today and those who live in Red Deer and southern Alberta will receive a call tomorrow (Feb. 7). 

Cellphone users and other interested participants may dial into the call toll-free at 1-877-229-8493, and enter the code 115500 at least 10 minutes before the start of the town hall, or they can register online to be called. Albertans may also listen and submit questions online.

Albertans can continue to provide their comments for the budget online until Feb. 10.
