The official election period hasn’t begun, but both the United Conservative Party (UCP) and Alberta NDP are focusing on their ground game.
On Saturday, candidates and 2,000 volunteers with the Alberta NDP took part in Orange Saturday, knocking on doors across the province in hopes of making a connection with residents.
“This is about listening and understanding what matters to all Albertans such as healthcare, education and the economy, and much more,” said Nagwan Al-Guneid, NDP candidate for Calgary-Glenmore.
Jeremy Barretto, a volunteer working with Al-Guneid, says he has been going door-to-door for months to see what matters to voters.
“Just encourage everyone to vote. This is going to be a really important election and I think there’s a lot of big things on the line and hopefully the government that’s elected can fix healthcare and the cost of living,” he said.
The UCP has also been out talking to constituents this month.
Various Calgary candidates like Jeremy Nixon, Jason Luan and Rajan Sawhney have been posting their canvasing efforts on social media.
