Earlier this month, the Alberta Institute was very pleased to be involved in helping to launch a brand new grassroots school choice organization in Alberta.

We were very pleased to do so because education is one of the most important policy areas of responsibility of a provincial government.

The Alberta Parents’ Union is a new organization of Alberta parents advocating for the best possible education for all Alberta students - whether that be public, separate, francophone, alternative, charter, independent, or home education.

It's an organization made up of parents from all across the province, working to ensure that every student in Alberta has the opportunity to access a broad array of choice in education.

As part of the organization's launch activities, they are organizing a series of events right across Alberta.

They've already held seven events in Cochrane, Taber, Lethbridge, Pincher Creek, Strathmore, High River, and Calgary, but they have 15 more events scheduled already.

If you're near any of the following locations, we highly recommend you go along and get involved:

Living in Alberta, we are lucky enough to have some of the best education choices in the world, but we can't afford to take that choice for granted, and we can always work to do better.

Anyone working on that mission has our support, and I encourage you to give them yours too!
