Schools across Alberta are preparing to resume classes on Oct. 29 for thousands of teachers and students after the provincial government passed back-to-work order legislation.

The Calgary Board of Education says members of the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA), the union representing teachers in the province, will return to work on Oct. 29, noting that they will be “focused primarily on teaching and learning in classrooms.”
