EDMONTON — The image of former premier Alison Redford is expected to be immortalized on the walls of the Alberta legislature this spring — and Redford will be on hand for the unveiling.

“Former premier Redford has confirmed that she would like to attend the unveiling of her portrait, so the Speaker’s office is currently working with her to co-ordinate a date for that,” Cheryl Oates, spokeswoman for the premier’s office, said Tuesday.

“Right now we’re looking at the spring, although we haven’t set a date yet.”

Redford’s official portrait and the artwork of her successor and fellow Progressive Conservative Dave Hancock have been sitting in climate-controlled storage for more than six months at the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

Redford’s portrait is oil on canvas by Calgary artist Liela Chan and cost $12,500.
