Members of the United Conservative Party in Alberta gathered near Edmonton on Saturday to vote on a large number of policy proposals at the party's first annual general meeting chaired by Premier Danielle Smith.

Smith will deliver a keynote speech at 1 p.m. at the Clearwater River Resort in Enoch, followed by a press conference for the media at 2 p.m.

Leader Rachel Notley presented a stable and responsible government focused on addressing affordability issues such as setting utility rates, obtaining more resources in healthcare, helping to diversify the economy with industrial sectors like "geothermal energy, hydrogen, digital media, and agri-foods."

Notley, who promised to gradually launch her party’s full platform starting in the coming weeks, said: "It is not enough to just be those guys." Notley also formulated the defense of Albertan interests by offering practical solutions, especially in the debate over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

"We are less than a year away from the first new pipeline for water from the cliffs to be completed in 50 years."

The Alberta NDP party achieved this by raising Canadians' awareness of how much our energy industry contributes to every school, every road, and every hospital in Canada from coast to coast.

Notley said: "We did not have a war room... we did not have a fabricated public inquiry... we did not start any disputes with cartoon characters. We talked to Canadians about the need for the project, we talked to investors in downtown Toronto, and we talked to municipal leaders in Interior before Christ... we talked with environmental advocates in Quebec. And we slowly built common ground."

One of the resolutions drafted by the Edmonton West-Henday Riding Association of the party banned teaching many related concepts "whether presented under the title of so-called critical race theory, intersectionality, anti-racism, diversity and inclusion, or any other name," and calls for "stopping" what it calls preferential treatment based on ethnic heritage, and "any student learning that due to their ethnic heritage they have privilege" is inherently racist or bears historical guilt because of the mentioned ethnic heritage or that the entire society is a racist system.

Another proposed policy from the party's Airdrie East riding is to "support the rights of parents, caregivers, and children's rights regarding socially adapting a child to a gender identity inconsistent with the child's sex at birth," asserting that parents are best suited to guide their children's development.

A resolution from Calgary Klein argues that the party should impose legal requirements on the government to consult stakeholders and the public before enacting "important" legislation, arguing that the Greek Communist Party government showed a lack of communication.

Meanwhile, a resolution supported by the Calgary-Northwest Constituency Association calls on the provincial government to require advisors, administrators, and municipal employees to register as lobbyists if they deal with the province.
