Staying Informed During Potential Labour Disruptions

Lakeland Catholic School Division is praying and hoping that the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA), the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), and the provincial government are able to come to a resolution.

We have been notified that the ATA has announced strike action to begin on October 6, 2025, if a negotiated settlement is not reached before that date.

We thank our teachers for their ongoing professionalism and resilience as they continue to serve our students during this period of uncertainty. We empathize with them and are grateful for their dedication, their care, and their commitment to doing small things with great love each and every day.

If a settlement is not secured, all Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 classes at Lakeland Catholic schools will be suspended until the strike ends or a new agreement is reached at the provincial level.

We continue to hold our teachers, students, and families in prayer during this challenging time.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide the hearts and minds of all involved in these negotiations. Grant wisdom, patience, and compassion so that a fair resolution may be found, and our classrooms may remain filled with learning, joy, and hope. Amen.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
