Drop a comment below, or tag us in your own post to wish Nicole a Happy Birthday! And help her celebrate by donating $40 (or 49 😉) to the Edmonton Castle Downs NDP: act.albertandp.ca/donate/ecdw

I am thrilled to see housing projects in Alberta thrive, especially those in support of our veterans!

The housing is the second of its kind in Canada, with the first being built in Ottawa in 2021. Veterans’ House Canada is hoping to build three more across the country over the next couple of years.

I am beyond grateful for this, and feel so blessed to be part of this military family. Thank you for this honor and to my loved ones who were able to join in the celebration.

An Alberta NDP government will invest in public healthcare and support the incredible people on the frontlines. Albertans deserve that investment; they deserve better. #BetterIsPossible #abpoli
