Canada Day is July 1st. 🇨🇦 Your employer probably hasn't told you what you're owed — so we made this instead.

Swipe through, save it for later, and send it to a friend or coworker who needs this info👆

Whether you're working the holiday or not, what you're entitled to might surprise you. And if you think you've been underpaid on a past stat? We can help with that too — visit at helpwrc.org and click "GET HELP". Our services are 100% free for Alberta workers.

If you are an Albertan who received a letter that you're being moved from AISH to ADAP, this free course from CMHA-Edmonton may help. Please expand this post from Gateway Association for full details.

As always, if you need support with a disability claim call 1-877-435-7972 to book an appointment with us. Our services are 100% free.

If you or someone you support is navigating AISH and ADAP right now, this might help.

CMHA-Edmonton is offering a free, plain-language course called Understanding AISH and ADAP. It covers eligibility, the application process, what to expect after applying, and practical strategies for income reporting and managing budgets.
Multiple dates through June - August, in person in Edmonton and online via Zoom.
It is free and open to people with disabilities, caregivers, and support workers.

To register, contact CMHA-Edmonton at [email protected]
We're sharing this because the gaps we've heard about in the comments deserve real resources where they exist. We hope this provides some answers.

A big congratulations to our Executive Director, Carolyn Krahn, who was recently awarded the 2026 International Women's Day award by the Alberta Federation of Labour in recognition of her continued dedication in the labour movement for women's struggles, equality and social justice.

Carolyn's leadership lifts others up; congrats on this well-deserved recognition! 💪✨

Did you know May 1 is International Workers' Day? It's a day to honour the labour movement and the ongoing fight for workers' rights — a fight that's very much alive here in Alberta. At the Workers' Resource Centre, we believe knowledge is power. Workers who understand their rights are better positioned to speak up, push back, and stand up for themselves. That's why we do what we do. 💪

On April 28, we joined with the Calgary and District Labour Council for the National Day of Mourning for workers who lost their lives, were injured, or became ill because of their work. To see the names of each Alberta worker who died last year, go to: https://www.facebook.com/TheCDLC/
