== History ==
''Alberta Views'' magazine was first published in January 1998. It was initially a quarterly; since 2006, the magazine has published ten issues a year. ''Alberta Views'' celebrated its 10th anniversary with the January/February 2008 issue. The founding publisher is Jackie Flanagan, a Calgary college educator, novelist and philanthropist.〔http://www.macleans.ca/canada/national/article.jsp?content=20060327_123886_123886〕 In a 2006 acceptance speech for a Public Interest Alberta award, Flanagan cites a trip to India, in which she witnessed widespread social inequality, as a catalyst for founding the magazine. She also cites the policies of former Premier of Alberta Ralph Klein, specifically his government's financial cutbacks to public education, healthcare, infrastructure and social services in the 1990s, and proposes that ''Alberta Views'' acts as a forum for citizens who support the public good.
I went to India and I saw things there that drenched me with sadness and I thought that the problem there was this terrible distance between the rich and the masses of poor, without public infrastructure, without sufficient public health, public education... I couldn’t be joyful there.〔
