Alberta became a province on September 1, 1905. In recognition of this anniversary and in celebration of our province’s unique spirit, culture and heritage, we have designated September 1 as Alberta Day.
Events
We’re counting down to celebrate another memorable Alberta Day this year. Join us on September 1 for free public events that bring the fun for the whole family!
