Helping Albertans stay informed about projects and decisions in their communities
Staying Informed, Together
Government decisions about water, energy, healthcare, and education affect every Albertan.
But keeping track of project approvals, public hearings, and comment deadlines across the province
can be overwhelming. This platform brings that information together in one place so you can
stay informed, connect with your representatives, and participate in the decisions that shape your community.

About Alberta Watchdog
What This Is
Alberta Watchdog is a grassroots civic platform built by Albertans, for Albertans. We exist because democracy works better when people pay attention, and because too many decisions that affect our communities happen without anyone watching.
This is not a news outlet. We are not journalists. We don't have press credentials, and we don't claim to. What we are is a group of engaged citizens who believe that public information should be accessible, understandable, and hard to ignore.
What We Do
We collect publicly available information about government approvals, corporate projects, and policy changes across Alberta, and we put it in one place where citizens can find it. We track issues across environment, water, healthcare, education, and agriculture so that nothing slips through unnoticed.
We connect you to your MLA, flag upcoming deadlines, and point you toward opportunities to get involved.
What We Don't Do
We are not affiliated with any political party, candidate, lobby group, media organization, or government body. We don't accept funding from political organizations. We have no editorial board, no investors, and no agenda beyond transparency.
We are not lawyers, and nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. We are not professional investigators. If we get something wrong, we correct it openly and promptly.
Why This Matters
Local government is where policy hits pavement. Zoning changes that reshape your neighbourhood. School board decisions that affect your kids. Budget votes that determine where your tax dollars go. These decisions are made in public meetings that most people never attend and never hear about until it's too late.
Alberta Watchdog exists to close that gap.
Community First
This platform is built on the principle that civic engagement is a right, not a credential. You don't need a journalism degree to care about what's happening in your community. You don't need permission to read a public record, attend a council meeting, or ask a hard question.
If you want to contribute, flag something we should look at, or just say hello, please reach out. This is your platform as much as ours.
