The Alberta Teachers’ Association

A telephone town hall hosted by the Alberta Teachers’ Association is part of its political engagement strategy for the next provincial general election, which will be held sometime between March 1 and May 31. A telephone town hall is a cross between an extremely large conference call and a private talk radio show. The ­Association’s telephone town hall will feature an Association official and representatives of the five political parties with seats in the current legislature. Participants can listen to the proceedings and use their touch tone keypad if they wish to pose a question to the speakers.

Teachers will be notified of the telephone town hall a few days beforehand through a broadcast voice message to their home telephone number. They should log in to TNET at www.teachers.ab.ca and ensure that their home telephone number is up to date if they wish to be contacted to participate in this exclusive opportunity. The exact date of the telephone town hall will depend on the date of the next election.
