Alberta plans to invest $100 million over three years in collegiate and dual-credit programs to enhance career education. This funding will include $21 million for school boards to upgrade learning spaces, such as science labs and workshops, and $4.6 million for new or improved dual-credit programs in the 2025-2026 school year. Dual-credit programs allow high school students to earn both high school and post-secondary credits, while collegiate programs offer specialized career pathways in partnership with post-secondary institutions.
The Province is preparing to regulate online gambling by opening the market to private companies like Bet365 through the proposed iGaming Alberta Act. This legislation aims to create a new Crown corporation to oversee the market and bring more players into a legal system while offering consumer protections. The goal is to prevent gambling revenue from going to offshore sites, like those in the "grey" market, and ensure safer gambling practices.
