flag Edmonton Elks host free football camp for students affected by Alberta teachers' strike.

flag The Edmonton Elks are hosting a free six-day football camp at Commonwealth Stadium for high school players whose sports seasons were disrupted by Alberta’s teachers’ strike, which has closed 2,500 schools and affected 740,000 students. flag The camp, organized with support from Football Alberta, filled 125 spots within hours and has 90 athletes on a waiting list. flag It features instruction from professional Elks players, including all-star receiver Steven Dunbar Jr., to help student athletes maintain skills during the strike. flag The labor dispute, now in its third day, centers on a government proposal for a 12% wage increase over four years and 3,000 new hires, which teachers’ leaders say falls short of addressing stagnant pay and overcrowded classrooms. flag The provincial government has imposed a teacher lockout starting October 8, citing the need for predictable negotiations.
