The provincial government announced Thursday that salaries for management and non-union employees at the 150 provincial agencies, boards and commissions will be frozen.
The organizations included in the freeze are Alberta Health Services, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, and the Alberta Energy Regulator.
The announcement came after similar freezes were brought in for management and non-union Alberta Public Service employees in January.
Before that, salaries for cabinet members, MLAs and political staff were frozen in October, 2015.
“We are facing once-in-a-generation economic challenges, and we need to reduce our costs while doing all we can to protect jobs and maintain public services that support families,” Finance Minister Joe Ceci said in a news release.
The province said the freeze will start April 1, and will be in effect for two years.
