CALGARY Alberta Premier Jason Kenney shuffled his cabinet Thursday, naming new ministers for transportation and culture but keeping major portfolios unaffected. There needs to be renewal every now and then in a government, Kenney said. Leela Aheer, who had served as the minister of culture, multiculturalism and the status of women, now finds herself outside of cabinet after Thursday s announcement. Aheer called on Kenney to apologize following images of him and other ministers dining on a rooftop patio in apparent violation of COVID-19 protocols at the time. Her former ministry has now been broken up and distributed to other departments.

CALGARY Alberta nurses could see their wages rolled back in an effort to help the province s finances. As we move beyond the peaks of the pandemic and into a more manageable period, we need to continue the important work of getting the province’s finances back on track, said Finance Minister Travis Toews in a statement. On Tuesday evening , the United Nurses of Alberta (UNA) said its employers – Alberta Health Services (AHS) along with Covenant Health, Lamont Health Care Centre and Bethany Group in Camrose – are pushing for a three per cent wage reduction. Combined with other rollbacks – the elimination of the semi-annual lump sum payments, reduced shift and weekend premiums – nurses could face a total compensation reduction of approximately five per cent, says the union.
