Alberta has always been a leader in the policy and constitution process of the Conservative Party of Canada.
While COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into our traditional activities, including our in-person Alberta Congress, we will lead once again with the new virtual format for the party's convention scheduled from March 18-21, 2021.
Please bookmark this page and check back often as new materials and information is posted for EDA's participating in the policy and constitution process.
If you have questions about the process, feel free to reach out to Alberta's Representatives on the National Policy and Constitution committees.
