Schools set to close as Alberta provides online curriculum ahead of teachers strike

Schools across Alberta are preparing to close their doors while the province readies a home curriculum for students ahead of Monday's provincewide teachers strike. Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says the province has already put online a curriculum that parents can use to teach their children should the 51,000 members of the Alberta Teachers' Association make good on their promise to walk out. Nicolaides says it's not fair that students would be forced to bear the brunt of the walkout, which would affect more than 700,000 students across public, separate and francophone sch

Canada Post tables new offers to striking postal workers

Canada Post says it has sent new offers to striking postal workers. The offer includes the same 13.59 per cent compounded wage increase over four years that it presented as part of its final offer in May to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

Canada Post says the new proposal includes terms to help support the transformation of the postal service that the federal government has initiated. Workers went on strike last week after the government announced the changes including endin
