Alberta teachers reject government request to end strike and enter mediation

October 17, 2025

The union representing Alberta teachers is rejecting a request by the Alberta government to end their strike and enter mediation, leaving little sign that the province’s 700,000 public school students will be back in class any time soon.

Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling, at a Friday news conference, said the province requested in a Thursday letter that teachers enter mediation under the condition that schools reopen next week.
