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? Celebrated around the world, 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. 💪

Employment Insurance is a lifeline for workers faced with job loss, sickness or injury, critically ill family members and growing families. Our Team Lead, Megan, was in Ottawa earlier this month for the 2026 Employment Insurance Forum convened by Pierre Laliberté, Commissioner for Workers at the Canada Employment Insurance Commission.

Alongside advocacy organizations from across the country, Megan had the chance to represent the voices of Alberta workers — sharing the realities we see every day at the Workers' Resource Centre — and advocated for an EI system that works better for the people who need it most.

Did you know that free, confidential help for workers is available right here in Alberta? 💙 💚

We help workers facing discrimination on the job. We help ensure that Alberta's Employment Standards are being met - and if not, we assist workers in filing complaints. We also help workers who have been laid off or need time off work with their Employment Insurance applications and appeals.

If you need help with a work-related issue, you don't have to figure it out alone. Reach out to us today.

We provide free support for workplace and employment issues like job loss, discrimination, disability, unpaid wages, and more.
