Hundreds flock to Alberta legislature grounds to celebrate Alberta Day [Video]

It was 119 years ago, on Sept. 1, 1905, that the Alberta Act came into effect and Alberta became a province of Canada.

Hundreds of people flocked to the legislature grounds Sunday for celebrations including live entertainment, food trucks, a beer garden and a kids zone.
