On August 7, 2024, the Government of Alberta announced an indefinite hold on the Canada-Alberta Job Grant Program (CAJG). In 2022-23 alone, 303 non-profit employers accessed the CAJG, representing 9% of the total employers who accessed the grant. 

The Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (ECVO) has outlined our concerns on the impact of this decision on the non-profit sector in a letter to relevant Government of Alberta and Federal Government ministries. Please read the full letter on our position below.
