Get ready for convention 2026!
Greetings Everyone,
We have just experienced two historic events: first, teachers standing up for their rights, and second, the Government of Alberta invoking the Notwithstanding Clause to take away our rights as educators. I applaud your efforts in advocating for improved learning conditions for our students and better classroom environments for all.
As President of the South Western Alberta Teachers’ Convention Association, I’m excited about the upcoming Teachers’ Convention, taking place on February 19 and 20, 2026. Our Convention Board is thrilled to welcome our keynote speakers: Laurie McIntosh, along with Andrew Stobo Sniderman and Douglas Sanderson. You can find more information about them on our website.
In addition to these inspiring keynotes, we have a wide range of sessions led by local teachers on both days, offering valuable opportunities to enhance our teaching practices.
It has been my pleasure to serve on the best Convention Board over the past six years in various roles. I truly value the connections I’ve made with many of you and look forward to another two fantastic days of professional development.
