Jan 15, 2018 | 3:20 PM

EDMONTON – The new legislature calendar is out for 2018 and Alberta politicians are to be back in the house for a spring sitting that begins March 8.

It will be United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney’s first appearance as a legislature member.

Kenney, a former Conservative MP, won the Calgary Lougheed seat in a byelection last month.

The two-member Alberta Party will welcome a third colleague.

Former Independent Rick Fraser, who was at one time a United Conservative MLA, joined the Alberta Party caucus last week and is also running for its leadership.

Premier Rachel Notley’s government will deliver a budget during the sitting.

Notley also has promised a plan to get the budget back in balance by 2023.
