Happy Canada Day! From our rich True North history to our vibrant present, we have much to appreciate. Though challenges remain, we face them together, focusing on the health and well-being of everyone in our communities, women, men, gender-diverse individuals, elders & children.
Pride is love. Pride is joy. Pride is respect for all. Pride is a reminder that the human rights of each person are not up for debate. Pride is solidarity. Pride is protest.
Happy Pride Month, Alberta!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

Dramatic increases to class size in #HigherEd, will:
1) decrease quality of engagement with each student,
2) increase student frustration,
