Positioning Alberta for a Healthy Future

Incentivizing Albertans to invest in health and wellness will result in lower costs for maintaining the provincial healthcare system, in turn, providing opportunity to reduce tax burdens on Albertans and employers.

Encouraging physical activity is of paramount importance to adopting lifelong behaviour changes which can result in lowering the costs of healthcare for Albertans.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, many Albertans were forced to move to their living rooms, basements and outside for their fitness and activity.

1. Provide a one-time, Physical Activity Tax Credit for Albertan’s and families who invest in their own personal health or the health of their children via a legitimate private or non-profit organization with a valid CRA business number.
