Edmonton – Calling all Alberta choir singers – whether you sing in a school choir, a community
choir, church choir or seniors choir, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta is
inviting you to put your name forward to lead the singing of our national anthem in the Assembly
during the fall session.
“The legislature is the people’s house and we want to give Albertans passionate about sharing
their voice an opportunity,” said Cooper. “I encourage Albertans to let us know if they are
interested in singing O Canada to help MLAs begin the important work they do every week.”
During session, the 87 Members of the Assembly are led in the singing of O Canada every
Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Traditionally the song has been led by an anthem singer but this
fall the Assembly hopes to see more community participants lend their voices to this important
task.
Singers who would like to put their name(s) forward can contact the Speaker’s Office by email at
