About Court

Court Ellingson is passionate about building a stronger, more diversified Alberta economy — one that creates good jobs and real opportunity for generations to come.

Born in Valleyview and a longtime Calgarian, Court spent his career in economic development before being elected as the MLA for Calgary-Foothills. As former Vice-President of Strategy at Calgary Economic Development, he helped shape the city's economic future, attracting investment and building the kind of resilient, diversified economy Alberta needs. He also served as Program Director of the Calgary Innovation Coalition and as a member of the boards of Local Investing YYC and Sustainable Calgary.

As Shadow Minister for Finance, Court is holding the UCP accountable on the kitchen-table issues Albertans care about most: affordability, jobs, and a fiscal plan that actually works for people.

Court Ellingson is ready. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

Julia Hayter and David Eggen will be joining us and sharing about their time in the legislature and what is happening over the summer and into the fall. Afterwards we will have a time of socializing and celebrations of our success. 

This is a great opportunity to learn about the work we have been doing to win the next election and meet the folks who are letting their names stand for positions on the Executive and Members at Large. The board is responsible for organizing all the Alberta NDP activities to prepare for the next election campaign, ranging from connecting with voters, hosting social events, recruiting volunteers and raising money. 

If you’re new to party politics, and want to get more involved, this is a great place to start, and we are always looking for more help.

All supporters are welcome at this family friendly event, but to vote or run for the Executive (President, Treasurer, Vice President etc.) and join the board you must hold an active Alberta NDP membership. You can renew or begin your membership here. If you are unable to join us but still wish to support the team, donations supporting our team can be made here
