Alberta's premier will be returning to the Foothills this month.
United Conservative Party Leader Danielle Smith will be holding an Okotoks members-only town hall at the Saskatoon Farm on Sept. 19 alongside Highwood MLA RJ Sigurdson, the provincial agriculture minister.
Similar town halls have been held throughout Alberta over the last few months, including recent stops in Airdrie, where Smith discussed healthcare, and Drayton Valley, where a plan to transfer control of some hospitals from Alberta Health Services (AHS) was shared.
The town halls come ahead of the UCP's leadership review, with a vote by the membership set for Nov. 2 at the party’s annual convention in Red Deer.
"The premier is touring the province right now to hear questions and concerns from members. We are looking forward to hosting a town hall in the Highwood area," wrote Highwood UCP constituency association president Don Herring in a statement.
"As for other stops, the premier will likely tour the community and visit with residents during her visit," he continued.
There are no other events or meetings in Okotoks on the premier's public itinerary at this time.
The premier's office did not respond to a request for comment on the town hall or the premier's agenda while in Okotoks.
