In May 2017, the Alberta Government passed Bill 1 - An Act to Reduce School Fees.
Under Bill 1 instructional, textbook, copying, printing, and paper fees have all been eliminated.
Specific fees such as field trips, options, special projects, and extracurricular activities will still be charged.
Student school supplies are still the responsibility of the parent/guardian but schools that offer school supply services may charge a fee on a cost recovery basis.
