Be prepared to receive an invite to an all party telephone town hall!  The ATA is strongly encouraging teachers to be informed and involved in the upcoming provincial election!  All teacher members will be contacted by phone and invited to participate in a telephone town hall, which will feature representatives of the 5 parties represented in the Alberta Legislature.  Teachers will have the opportunity to ask questions of the representatives and hear about party positions as they relate to education.  Please ensure your phone number registered in tnet is accurate.


IMPORTANT SURVEY!!!
Please check out the Work and Life Balance Survey here.  This is a survey that will report this message, SPECIFIC to Alberta teachers! 

The deadline for completing this survey is March 31, 2012.


On behalf of Park Plains East Local #31, we hope you enjoyed this year's CEATCA!


Park Plains East Local is once again sponsoring a day with our ATA Pension Consultant.  The date has been set for May 5  at the Wainwright Communiplex from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Fee is $10 per person.  He encourages you to bring your spouse.  He also encourages people to plan ahead so if you are five or ten years from retirement this would be  very worthwhile .  He brings a number of other resource people with him –someone from Alberta Teachers, a lawyer, and others.  If you would like to register please send your name and your money to me as soon as possible.
