Provincial Spending Update

If your nonprofit has been following the news or social media, you’ve likely seen some rumours of looming provincial cuts starting to swirl. The new provincial government is expected to release a budget in late October and speculation as to what it will hold has already begun.

This blog post provides an update on provincial spending in the midst of the UCP’s transition period and prior to their budget being finalized in October.
