Premier Jason Kenney and Health Minister Jason Copping are scheduled to provide an update on work to increase Alberta's health-care capacity through the addition of critical care beds.
The two will be joined by health-care officials for the announcement at Rockyview General Hospital.
CTV Calgary will livestream the press conference scheduled for 9 a.m.
