Budget 2026 will be released on Thursday, Feb. 26. 

After a year marked by declining resource revenue, ongoing trade conflict and continued global economic uncertainty, Budget 2026 will reflect the reality of a more difficult fiscal environment. 

The budget will focus on careful, disciplined decision-making to manage pressures, protect essential services, and keep Alberta’s finances stable during challenging times.

“Albertans know these times aren’t easy and the path ahead will require tough choices, but Alberta’s government has a clear path forward. We are making responsible decisions now, to protect the province’s financial future, stay focused on what matters, and ensure Alberta remains strong for our children and grandchildren.” 

Nate Horner, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance
