Alberta’s teachers are on strike. Each passing day is another day the government refuses to fund classrooms properly.

Teachers and parents are united: our kids can’t wait any longer. It’s time for the government to listen. #KidsCantWaitAB #StopTheExcuses

We’ve waited long enough.
After years of cuts, Alberta’s schools need real funding—now.

From one-on-one help to manageable class sizes, public education needs real investments — not more delays. Teachers are pushing for change. #KidsCantWaitAB #StopTheExcuses
