Alberta teachers appear poised to strike next week after rejecting tentative deal
September 30, 2025
The president of the Alberta Teachers Association says the union has no further bargaining planned with the province after teachers voted overwhelmingly to reject the government’s latest offer ahead of an Oct. 6 strike deadline.
Nearly 90 per cent of teachers who cast ballots voted to reject the province’s latest contract offer, which included a 12-per-cent wage hike over four years and a promise from the government to hire 3,000 more teachers over the next three years to help address class sizes.

The fire that ravaged roughly a third of the buildings in the Alberta town of Jasper last year exploded so quickly that crews had no chance to contain the initial blaze, according to a federal government report.Three lightning strikes within three minutes ignited fires that quickly merged about 23 kilometres south of Jasper on the evening of July 22, 2024, the report from Natural Resources Canada said. Within 10 minutes of ignition, flames were licking treetops, closing the window for crews to suppress the fire that eventually flattened swaths of one of Canada’s most picturesque towns.
