Hey friends!
We know that there has been a lot going on in the last few weeks and just want to say that your feelings of anger, frustration and concern over school relaunch in Alberta are valid.
Here is a thread of some actionable things you can do & organizations to support!

Here is a thread of some actionable things you can do & organizations to support!
First off, if you haven't already, take a few minutes to fill out this survey we put together with our friends at @SOSAlberta.
We'll use this data to better advocate for a #SafeSeptember for all.

Once you've completed the survey, it would be amazing if you could read and sign this open letter to @AdrianaLaGrange and @jkenney on Alberta School Re-Opening! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9IVqUAWmBZZ_VCTvk07V9Hid42tiCGFsvDYnuPV2msp0-yw/viewform
@SOSAlberta also has this great campaign to #maskUp4SafeSchools

Also, tomorrow @AdrianaLaGrange & @CMOH_Alberta will be giving an update on the school relaunch "plan" at 9am. Make sure you're aware of their current recommendations and what's happening in other provinces. https://www.alberta.ca/k-to-12-school-re-entry-2020-21-school-year.aspx
Here's the British Columbia Return to School Plan https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/covid-19-return-to-school
The Guide to Reopening Ontario Schools https://www.ontario.ca/page/guide-reopening-ontarios-schools
The Nova Scotia return to school plan https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/education/
And while we want to recognize our friends in other provinces who are holding their governments to account for the limitations in each of these plans we want to be very clear that @jkenney & @AdrianaLaGrange are providing no extra funding, resources or support in their plan.
As it stands, the current Alberta return to school plan is negligent and does not provide the safety measures and resources to ensure the safety of students and staff.
We're looking forward to the announcement tomorrow and working with our friends to advocate for a safe return.
