Join us for a week of walks in support of our public school teachers and public education. Starts Tues Oct 07 730 am- 9 am Kinsmen parking lot

Ward D details,save the date, send in questions and see you there.

Free community open to the public. Come and hear what your trustee candidate has to say. Ask questions. We'd love to hear from YOU.

Community engagement is where it is at. Submit your questions, plan to attend and ask from the floor. We hope to see everyone. Open to the public.

Strong public education is built on community support. We need to come together—parents, teachers, and citizens—to demand the resources and respect Alberta students deserve.

Interesting read on the upcoming school trustee elections. The article points out how special interest groups are targeting school board elections. It's vital that teachers, parents, and others pay close attention to the platforms for candidates in trustee elections.

ATA press conference time -

-government is still offering the same wages teachers already voted down in May

- Government/TEBA wouldn’t entertain any proposals about class size limits or pupil-teacher ratios

- ATA asking for 3,000 more teachers was a last ditch effort to try and address class size

As the Smith, Nicolaides and the rest of the UCP inevitably attempt to distance themselves from these sweeping book bans, keep in mind one thing...

They wrote the order.

So this was either deliberate or they are incompetent.

Those are the only two choices.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.

There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

“The banning of books is a hallmark of censorship, not democracy.”

Literature is a lifeline for many students. Through the word, we learn about the world around us.

It is time to end this dangerous censorship and promote critical thinking in schools.

"Large class sizes, increasing classroom complexity, dwindling supports, and wages that do not account for these challenges or keep pace with inflation remain sticking points between teachers and their employers."

"To accommodate these students, administration said the school’s library, music room and wellness centre will all be converted into classroom space."

This is why teachers voted to strike.

And why we should all support them.

Teachers are struggling to manage complexity in the modern classroom. The Minister is pleased that his government was able to provide more funding for education…but Alberta still has the lowest funding per student in the country.

Brace yourselves Alberta!

While Danielle Smith is trying to distract everyone from…

(Looks around)

All the things, Alberta teachers just overwhelmingly voted to REJECT the mediator’s recommendations for a new provincial contract t!
