BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) members wore red in solidarity with Alberta teachers. At its Representative Assembly, the BCTF voted to support the ATA with a donation of up to $1 million in financial and legal assistance to help in their fight against the Alberta government’s Bill 2 and use of the notwithstanding clause.
Cassandra Hallett, executive director of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation, shared her support for Alberta teachers, saying, “Wearing red in support of the tremendous educators in Alberta and the leadership of the ATA. The smile is for them (NOT for the appalling actions of the government)!”
