The state funeral for former Alberta Premier Don Getty will be held this Saturday, March 5th in Edmonton.

The public is welcome to attend but there will be limited seating available, as it will be a first come, first seated basis.

If you wish to send a message of support to the Getty family, condolence books are available in Calgary, Edmonton, and Stettler.

The McDougall Centre in Calgary is open from 8 am until 5 pm and will have the condolence book available until end of day Friday.

The Getty family have shared that donations can be made to the Salvation Army or the Edmonton Heart and Stroke Foundation in honour of Getty, instead of sending flowers. 

If you would like to watch the service live you can follow the live stream here. If you'd rather attend Getty's funeral in person, the service will be held at Edmonton's All Saints' Anglican Cathedral at 11 am on Saturday.
