The Alberta Teachers’ Association

Teachers from Northern Spirit Local No. 6 and Grande Prairie and District Catholic Local No. 42 joined forces Saturday, February 7, to work on a Habitat for Humanity house. The house, the eighth one built in Grande Prairie by the humanitarian organization, is expected to be completed in April.
