Labour Action Updates

September 12, 2025

Current situation

On September 12, 2025 the Alberta Teachers' Association gave strike notice for October 6, unless a negotiated settlement is reached with the provincial Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA). 

This notice formalizes the ATA's intent that was communicated in the media on September 10, and it confirms that a strike, if it occurs, would be province wide.

What to expect in Chinook's Edge

We understand the challenges any labour action might present for families. The education of your child is of utmost importance to us. While we regret this situation, we remain hopeful that a settlement can still be reached. We value the contributions of all employees who support student success, and we respect the provincial bargaining process.

If the strike takes place, all Chinook's Edge school buildings will be closed for the duration of the strike. This is for safety reasons; we will lack the required personnel for adequate supervision. 

This means that all classes will be cancelled. Students will not attend school in person or online. Also, extra curricular activities will not continue. 

Parents whose children attend a childcare program that rents space in a Chinook's Edge school are advised to please check with their provider, as those programs may still be open.

Before all buildings close, students will have the opportunity to bring home all personal belongings.
