Acute Care Alberta has extended its contract for another year with a private surgical facility at the centre of probes into health procurement and contracting.

The provincial agency confirmed to CBC News this week it has inked a new $34-million, one-year contract with Alberta Surgical Group (ASG) as of Nov. 1, 2025 until Oct. 31, 2026, to provide approximately 4,000 orthopedic surgeries.

Acute Care Alberta posted the contract on its website after CBC News asked whether that relationship was continuing past the previous contract’s expiration date.
