About Kaycee

Kaycee was elected in April 2019 as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Edmonton-South West. He was appointed Minister of Municipal Affairs on April 30, 2019 making him the first African-born minister of the crown in any provincial government in Canada. Since then Kaycee has done his utmost best to be a good ambassador for new Canadians in Alberta.

Kaycee is the first Black Attorney General, Minister of Justice and Solicitor General and the first person of colour to become a Deputy Premier in Canadian history.

Immigration

As Minister of Labour and Immigration, Kaycee worked with the federal government to increase the number of immigrants to Alberta under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program. He worked to ensure family ties in Alberta became a prominent feature of Alberta’s immigration program. As Minister of skilled Trades and Professions, Kaycee expanded skilled trades and training opportunities for everyone, including newcomers to Alberta by establishing the first ever Alberta Ethnocultural Skilled Trades and Training Grants. There is more work to be done to ensure Alberta remains a place of exceptional opportunity for everyone. That’s why Kaycee is seeking re-election as the MLA for Edmonton-South West.

Kaycee has achieved more in a single term to combat institutional racism than any other elected official. He put an end to the discriminatory practice of carding and brought about significant changes to the Police Act. These include setting up the first-ever civilian oversight committee to scrutinize police complaints, introducing an inclusive hiring policy for ethno-cultural communities, and establishing the Alberta Hate Crime Coordination Office with a dedicated hate crime liaison officer. These are just a handful of Kaycee's impressive achievements in his four-year tenure.

Kaycee is committed to providing every child in Edmonton-South West access to world-class education. He made this a reality by securing funding to construct three new schools in the riding, including one in Edgemont and two in Glenridding Heights. But that's not all. Kaycee also secured funding for new schools in Rosenthal and Cavanagh. To make schools safer, Kaycee will bring back resource officers to schools, so your child can focus on learning without worrying about their safety. And for children with learning disabilities, Kaycee is securing additional funding to help them thrive in the classroom.

Kaycee believes in parental choice in education because you know what's best for your child. With Kaycee on your side, you can be confident that your child will receive an education that sets them up for success.

You deserve access to quality health care where and when you need it, this can only be achieved through innovative changes. Kaycee has been an outspoken advocate for legislation that would allow individuals trained in foreign countries to come to Alberta and work in their fields. This means more doctors, nurses, and health care workers coming internationally and providing much needed relief to our overworked healthcare system. Kaycee has also secured $634 million in funding for the new South Edmonton Hospital. This will relieve the pressure on other Edmonton hospitals and provide state of the art treatment and care to the residents of Edmonton-South West.
