Education and healthcare are provincial responsibilities
Education is a function and responsibility of the Provincial government. Decisions around funding for the construction of schools and school resources is made at the Provincial level.
Municipalities are required to provide serviced land for school sites and collect Education Tax from property owners on behalf of the Province of Alberta.
Similarly, healthcare is also a function and responsibility of the Provincial government. Decisions around funding for healthcare resources are also made at the Provincial level.
The City of Airdrie advocates on behalf of residents for the gaps in healthcare needs to be filled, more schools for local students and for more resources in these important sectors to be allocated to our community.
Advocate with us for increased funding for school construction and education resources
The City collects the Provincial Education Requisition (the education tax portion of your annual property tax bill) on behalf of the province. This year, residents of Airdrie will contribute nearly $50 million dollars for school operational funding in Alberta.
The Province provides ongoing support and funding for the operations of Airdrie’s schools. This chart outlines capital funding for school construction, upgrades or pre-construction work.
| Type of FUnding | School TYPE/DIVISION/LOCATION |
|---|---|
| Construction |
Renovations at St. Martin de Porres High School (CSSD) in Luxstone Grades K-12 FrancoSud in Reunion Grades K-9 RVS in South Windsong Grades K-9 RVS in Bayview Grades 10-12 RVS in Southwinds |
| Planning |
Grades K-9 RVS in Lanark Grades K-9 CSSD in Chinook Gate (Newly announced Budget 2026) |
Planning and design dollars are pre-steps for allocating funding for the construction of new schools.
While the need for more schools in Airdrie exists now, it takes 3-5 years to build a new school. Modular classrooms help relieve interim space pressures within existing schools and significant provincial funding was allocated towards this type of support for schools. Information about modular classrooms at Rocky View Schools can be found here.

Advocate with us for more healthcare resources in Airdrie
In recent years, the Government of Alberta has allocated:
- $8.4 million for upgrades to the Airdrie Urgent Care Centre
- $2 million for planning for an integrated primary and urgent care centre (in addition to the existing, recently upgraded Airdrie Urgent Care)
- $3 million for the planning of a North Calgary/Airdrie Regional Health Centre (Originally allocated in 2023 and recommitted in the 2024 and 2025 provincial budgets.) Information on the progress of the planning of the North Calgary/Airdrie Regional Health Centre can now be found on the Alberta Major Project map.
