The Final Report of the National Inquiry into #MMIWG2S found education is critical to dismantling systemic racism and reducing violence. As teachers, let’s honour victims and survivors by teaching truth, challenging injustice, and creating spaces grounded in respect, dignity, and care. #RedDressDay

We urge the Alberta government to reconsider this approach and to re-engage with the Alberta Teachers’ Association in a manner that honours educators’ rights, values their professional voice, and prioritizes the best interests of students and communities. 8/8

It sends a troubling message that constitutionally protected rights can be set aside for expedience rather than addressed through good-faith dialogue. 7/8

BC Teachers' Federation @bctf.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Resorting to the notwithstanding clause to override those rights undermines both the integrity of the bargaining process and the public’s trust in government accountability. 6/8

Canadians must take a stand against this kind of government overreach and infringement on our rights. The BCTF is proud to contribute to that fight with solidarity and significant resources. Alberta Teachers, we are with you! 4/8

BC Teachers' Federation @bctf.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

This was an aggressive act, and though BCTF members are not unfamiliar with governments whose priorities do not include public education, this attack is a unique and severe infringement on the rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 3/8

The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) is NOT part of the BC curriculum, and it’s not the best way to evaluate learning. Instead, teachers use meaningful, curriculum-based assessments that actually help students grow. Parents: You can withdraw your child from the FSA: www.bctf.ca/FSA #BCed
