Albertans will be getting some extra spending money, thanks to the federal government.

The federal Climate Action Incentive (CAI) will see a boost in the amount the rebate offers for those living in the province.

On April 15, Albertans will receive:

  • $193 for an individual, up from the previous $134.75
  • $96.50 for a spouse or common-law partner, up from the previous $67.50
  • $48.25 per child under 18, up from the previous $33.75

Other rebates for the CAI will occur in July, October, as well as January of next year.

In accordance with the federal pollution pricing system, the federal government puts a price on pollution in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario which lack their own pricing system.

An extra 10 per cent is eligible for families in rural and small communities.
