Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the province will send out a $100 rebate to nearly 3.4 million Albertans starting July 1 to help offset high fuel and energy prices as well as broader affordability challenges facing residents.
The rebate will replace Alberta’s fuel tax relief program, which was introduced in 2022 and temporarily suspended all or part of the province’s 13-cents-per-litre fuel tax when the average quarterly price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil reached or went above US$90 per barrel.
