In Alberta, several groups are actively engaging the public as the referendum approaches, with events organized to discuss a range of topics including the question of separation from Canada. One prominent separatist group held a gathering in Calgary’s East Village where they expressed confidence that their advocacy has sparked meaningful dialogue among Albertans. At another event in northwest Calgary, an organization known as Alberta's Voice emphasized the importance of addressing stability, investment, and opportunity for the future of the province, referencing the multiple issues included in the referendum beyond the separation query.

The separation question has dominated much of the media coverage surrounding the referendum, prompting various stakeholders to participate in discussions aimed at informing the electorate. The ongoing events reflect a broader strategy by advocacy groups to mobilize public opinion and encourage informed voter participation in the upcoming referendum. Separatist leaders believe that the initiative has revitalized discussions about Alberta's autonomy and governance, while groups like Alberta's Voice are encouraging voters to consider the comprehensive impact of all questions on the ballot.
