Alberta's teachers have lost confidence in provincial Education Minister Adriana LaGrange, according to a Sunday vote by association representatives this weekend. The annual representative assembly of the Alberta Teachers' Association, held virtually this year, acts in a parliamentary function to pass resolutions on the future and policy of the organization. A resolution to express a loss of confidence in Education Minister Adriana LaGrange was jointly drafted by 20 locals this year, according to the ATA. Two years ago, the province passed a bill to transfer teacher pension investments under AIMCo's management by the end of 2021. "The ball is in her court and if she wants to repair this relationship with Alberta teachers, then she needs to be able to reach out and start that work."
