Ralph Klein will be remembered today at a public memorial service hosted by the City of Calgary.
The former Calgary mayor and Alberta premier died in a long-term facility in Calgary last Friday at the age of 70.
The "celebration of life" is being held at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts, across the street from city hall where Klein sat in the mayor's chair for most of the 1980s.
The event begins at noon and will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
Seating cards will be distributed to people in line outside the centre's main entrance starting at 9 a.m. MT.
Overflow seating will be available for those not able to fit inside the venue. The doors will open at 10:30 a.m., with everyone expected to take their seats by 11:15 a.m.
Funeral procession
The service will be broadcast on local television and radio stations, including CBC Calgary. It will also be streamed live on CBCNews.ca.
A funeral procession will make two public stops on the way to the Jack Singer: one at the McDougall Centre at 11:15 a.m. where the Klein family will attend a short presentation from the Alberta government and the other at the Municipal Plaza for a presentation from the City of Calgary at 11:25 a.m.
Klein moved into provincial politics in 1989, serving as Alberta's premier from 1992 to 2006.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former Saskatchewan premier Roy Romanow are among the dignitaries expected to attend.
Albertans can also share their memories of the former premier on an online tribute page created by the province, and books of condolences have been set up at the McDougall Centre in Calgary and at the legislature in Edmonton, until April 12.
