The Alberta Teachers’ Association Gender and Sexuality Alliance (ATA GSA) exists to create a safe, welcoming, and empowering space for 2SLGBTQIA+ teachers and their allies across Alberta. We foster connection, affirm identity, and advocate for equity through education, professional learning, and collective action. Our work includes provincial outreach to isolated educators, capacity-building through professional development, and supporting teachers in navigating oppressive systems safely and collaboratively. We champion intersectionality and strive to accept, affirm, and uplift the voices and experiences of marginalized educators, including those who are Two-Spirit, racialized, or living with disabilities.
The ATA GSA builds partnerships within the Association and beyond, acting as a consultative body, a creator of resources, and a hub for collective learning. We aim to connect GSAs across the province, document our histories, and celebrate queer joy through events, storytelling, and shared learning. Through newsletters, conferences, public education, and research initiatives, we strive to diversify the ATA membership and representatives, raise awareness of career pathways, and foster a more inclusive profession and society.
