Critics say UCP piling expenses onto Alberta families

The Opposition NDP criticized the new fee as another example of the UCP government making life more expensive for Alberta families.

“Working families are already being pushed to the brink by the pandemic and the long list of new costs Jason Kenney has imposed on them,” said Calgary-Buffalo MLA Joe Ceci in a release.

“More income tax, more property tax, more school fees, more tuition, more insurance costs, more utility costs and now a $90 fee for Albertans to enjoy a park that belongs to them. It’s an insult to the legacy of Peter Lougheed. The UCP should have learned their lesson from trying to sell off provincial parks and mine our mountains.”

The Alberta Wilderness Association also criticized the new fee.
