Last Call for Signing the Forever Canadian Petition: Are You Ready?

Time is running out for eligible Calgarians to sign the Forever Canadian petition, with the final deadline for submissions rapidly approaching on October 28, 2025. This citizen-initiated campaign, spearheaded by former MLA Thomas Lukaszuk, aims to affirm Alberta's place within Canada amidst ongoing discussions about provincial sovereignty. The petition asks a clear question: "Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?" With reports indicating the campaign is "really close" to its goal of 300,000 signatures, every voice counts in these final days.

To participate, you must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, and an Alberta resident. Signatures must be made in person. This push aligns with Calgary's robust tradition of civic engagement; residents are actively involved in shaping their community, whether through recent municipal election debates on issues like blanket rezoning, or other citizen-led initiatives such as the recall petition against Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides. Calgarians consistently show strong participation in local affairs, often expressing optimism about the city's future. Making your voice heard on this provincial matter helps contribute to Calgary's continued influence and stability within the national landscape.
