Lethbridge students rally in support of teachers

The shockwaves of the strike action have been felt throughout the province today, including here in Lethbridge, with students and parents expressing mixed emotions.

A group of students have gathered outside Winston Churchill High School to rally support for their teachers and say they plan to remain there every day for as long as the strike may last.

On Monday afternoon, the Alberta Teachers Association was notified that teachers will be locked out as of this Thursday, October 9th.
