Alberta has recorded an $8.3 billion surplus, according to Finance Minister Nate Horner’s recent financial update.

It is $8 billion more than the provincial government expected, and was due to oil and gas revenue for 2024/2025, as well as more tax revenue from the province’s growing population, Horner said at a June 27 news conference.
