Just returned from the Town Hall meeting for Join Together Alberta, a coalition of Alberta unions, associations and organizations that are combining efforts to urge the government to restore funding to our communities’ public services.   The town hall was very worthwhile and a great way to spend two hours listening to how potential cut backs could affect long term care, nursing, universities, those with disabilities.  The night was not just speeches but round table discussions on easy and simple ways to get involved. 

I encourage every teacher to visit the website, http://www.jointogetheralberta.ca and either send an email (somewhat similar to what you did for Stop the Cuts), or sign the online petition, or start following the group on facebook or twitter.

Together, with our allies, our voices can be heard about the importance of funding our public services.

Thanks
