CALGARY – Alberta’s provincial election campaign continues today with the leaders of the two main political parties in Calgary.

Writs were issued Monday to launch the campaign with voting day on May 29.

United Conservative Party Leader Danielle Smith is scheduled to meet with voters and volunteer canvassers.

Later in the day, she is to participate in a virtual town hall.
