Take Action to Stop the Proposed MAS
The Alberta Legislature returns on October 27, 2025 to consider the proposed Mature Asset Strategy. Here's how you can make your voice heard and help protect rural communities from this $60 billion scam.

The Alberta government, with industry leaders, plans to send its Mature Asset Strategy to the Legislature this fall. Here's how you can make your voice heard and help protect rural communities and Alberta's land and water by stopping this $60 billion scam.
