The Alberta Greens, also known as the Green Party of Alberta, was a provincial political party in the province of Alberta, Canada.
The Alberta Greens were formed in 1986 and received official party status on April 6, 1990. The party was affiliated with Green parties throughout the world, and with the federal Green Party of Canada.
The party had been polling between 3% and 9% from 2006 to 2009. The party often polled ahead of the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta and had also placed third in two polls done by Leger Marketing[1] and the Strategic Counsel[2] ahead of both the Wildrose Party and Alberta New Democratic Party.
The party dissolved in July 2009 at the request of the new executive when it was unable to file financial returns with Elections Alberta as required by law. The party executive established a non-profit association in hopes of re-establishing the party after the next election.[3]
