This release was issued under a previous government.

In a ceremony on Tsuu T’ina land this morning, Alberta Premier Alison Redford, Tsuu T’ina Nation Chief Roy Whitney, and Alberta Transportation Minister Ric McIver put their names to the Transportation and Utility Corridor Agreement. The agreement allows for the exchange of money and land, so the last portion of Calgary’s ring road can be built.

“This agreement really demonstrates our government’s commitment to Building Alberta in a way that is good for all of us and that involves many voices. When we work hard and work together, we can continue to build the Alberta we all want and need for the future.”

- Alison Redford, Premier

The Calgary Ring Road is a key part of the Government’s Building Alberta Plan. The Plan will see Alberta invest $1.4 billion in Alberta’s highway network this year. A completed ring road will enhance the safe and efficient movement of goods and people inside and around the city and province. 

“We will work in partnership with the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the federal government to proceed with the land transfer. This work will be guided by a committee with representatives from all parties and we will continue to work together in good faith.”

- Ric McIver, Alberta Transportation Minister

Under the Building Alberta Plan, our government is investing in families and communities, living within our means, and opening new markets for Alberta's resources to ensure we're able to fund the services Albertans told us matter most to them. We will continue to deliver the responsible change Albertans voted for.
