The Alberta government says it will offer more resources for families of young children in the event of a teacher strike.

Nearly 90 percent of provincial teachers voted against a memorandum of agreement on Sept. 29, with the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) saying a strike was “imminent” and would start on Oct. 6.
