****INVEST NOW FOR A BETTER FUTURE****

Public education is the foundation of our future. It must be nurtured, protected and preserved. We know this. It needs predictable, sustained funding in order to survive. We know this too.

Unfortunately, public education as we know it in Alberta is in jeopardy. It has been chronically underfunded to the point of robbing children of the means to achieve their potential as contributing citizens in our communities. We need to get the message out that we must create our future together by investing NOW for a better tomorrow.

May 1 – 7 is Education Week in Alberta. This year’s theme is “Public Education: The Heart of our Communities.” Calgary Public Teachers ATA Local 38 is holding a rally in support of public education - “Invest Now for a Better Future” is our message. Join us and thousands of other like-minded individuals and groups at Festival Market Square, Eau Claire in downtown Calgary at 2:00 PM on Saturday, May 7 to raise our voices in support of our children, our students, our future.

Parking will be at a premium, so we encourage you to take public transit to the downtown site.

INVITE FOLKS FROM YOUR OWN FRIENDS LIST - WE WANT THIS EVENT TO BE A BIG ONE!
