Update on Provincial Labour Negotiations with the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA)

(Fort McMurray, AB - June 10th, 2025) Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are writing to inform you about the recent developments regarding the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) strike vote. Members of the ATA have voted in favour of a strike, and they are now in a position to initiate one with 72 hours’ notice.

The Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) continues to negotiate with the ATA in the hopes of avoiding any disruption and more bargaining dates are scheduled for this month as well as August.

The Fort McMurray Public School Division (FMPSD) is currently reviewing and updating our contingency plans to ensure our school board obligations are met. Should a strike proceed, Alberta Education and Childcare will provide guidance and support to all school boards, including FMPSD, to ensure families are kept informed and proper measures are taken. 

We understand that this situation may bring uncertainty, and we are committed to keeping you informed with timely updates as they become available. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work through this matter.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. 

Office of the Superintendent
