Premier Rachel Notley wishes Albertans a happy Easter for 2017.

“For Christians, Easter brings a renewal of faith and hope. It is a time to share great meals, to love one another and to enjoy the closeness of family.

“As Christians around the world honour the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we pause to reflect on the meaning of sacrifice. Whether you find yourself reflecting in a church or around the dining-room table, with family and friends on a winding park trail or as part of a larger gathering, I hope this Easter is one of peace, friendship and joy.”
