The meeting in Red Deer, which had an attendance of approximately 300 people, was organized by the Alberta Together committee, which aims to support and shape the centrist political voice in Alberta.

A committee looking to rally political centrists is to meet Saturday in Red Deer with an eye to formally get behind the Alberta Party.

With the next provincial election looking like a showdown between the NDP and some type of right-wing alliance between the PCs and the Wildrose Party, Katherine O'Neill is setting her sights on giving a boost to the centre.
