On day nine of the Alberta election campaign, the NDP promised more hockey rinks and playgrounds, while the governing UCP vowed to improve public safety and get tougher on crime following the May 6 fatal stabbing of a mother and her child outside an Edmonton school.

Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley announced she will build new playgrounds, hockey rinks, community halls, and soccer fields if elected, under the Hometown Alberta fund.
