Teachers Reject Latest Contract from Province – September 29, 2025

September 29th, 2025

The tentative agreement between the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) and the province has been rejected by ATA members. Teachers and school administrators from across the province cast ballots from September 27-29, 2025, resulting in 89.5% of votes in favour of rejecting the latest contract settlement offer.

As a result, a strike is likely to begin on Monday, October 6. We continue to hold hope that an agreement could be reached before Monday; however, families should prepare for a strike.

Pembina Hills families can expect another communication in the coming days.
