LPNs for Change

✍️ Volunteers Needed at Friends of Medicare Townhalls!

We collected 3 full pages of petition signatures at today’s Friends of Medicare in Calgary. These townhalls are full of people who care deeply about public health care, and it’s the perfect place to gather support for LPNs.

We need volunteers to help collect pen‑to‑paper signatures at upcoming townhalls across Alberta.

What you’ll do:
• Arrive 30 minutes early
• Chat with attendees as they settle in
• Gather signatures that strengthen our advocacy

Next townhall: Airdrie - TOMORROW (Sunday, January 25 at 1400)

If you can help, comment or message us. Even one hour makes a real difference.

Let’s make sure LPN voices are heard loud and clear.

We're going back on the road! 🛣️

Everyone in this province deserves timely access to quality public health care. But that's being increasingly jeopardized by constant restructuring and accelerating privatization. It's time for an urgent conversation about what Albertans are really experiencing in our health care system, and to discuss the solutions we need to make our lives and our health better.

That's why we're announcing NINE more stops on our province-wide townhall tour with Alberta ER physician, Dr. Paul Parks!

Nursing is dangerous — and Alberta’s latest assault proves it.

A health‑care worker at Alberta Hospital Edmonton was violently attacked on Christmas Day. Two patients. Serious injuries.

This isn’t “rare.”
This is our reality.

Nurses face violence every single day with little protection, little support, and even less accountability from the system meant to keep us safe.

Violence is not part of the job.
We deserve safety.
We deserve protection.
We deserve better.

New Year. Same fire. 🔥

In 2026, LPNs are standing stronger than ever: advocating for recognition, fair pay, and respect! We’re not just showing up. We’re speaking up. 💜

LPNs For Change wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, if you celebrate it! And we would like to thank all of you who are working and taking care of others instead of spending time with your family.

🕎 Wishing You a Joyous Hanukkah!

As the candles of the menorah shine brighter each night, we celebrate the enduring spirit of Hanukkah - a time of light, resilience, and togetherness. Whether you're spinning dreidels, savoring sufganiyot, or gathering with loved ones to share stories and traditions, Hanukkah reminds us of the power of hope and the beauty of community.

To everyone observing the Festival of Lights: may your homes be filled with warmth, your hearts with joy, and your days with peace. From all of us here, we wish you a Happy Hanukkah!

Chag Sameach! 💙

There are some rumors of AHS being sued for $60 millions for not respecting the ESA. We messaged Kate Robinson, lead negotiator, for clarification. You can read her response here. Those are false rumors.

New Nursing Care Deal Doesn't Address Mounting Workloads, Advocates Say A 2023 report, which recommends LPNs’ scope be expanded without increased compensation, points to how LPNS have long been seen as “cheap labour.”

Narrative: Why LPNs Seek Recognition as Nurses Providing Direct Nursing Care & Why We Compare Ourselves to RNs

📣 Bargaining is over, but the wage gap remains. Alberta’s LPNs carry the largest scope of practice in Canada, yet we’re classified as auxiliary. The system is built to keep us there.

💥 LPNs For Change is back. We’re fighting for recognition, respect, and fair compensation. We are Direct Nursing Care Nurses, and it’s time we were treated like it.

📊 See the wage gap for yourself. Read the full post: https://www.lpnsforchange.ca/post/bargaining-is-over-but-our-fight-for-recognition-is-not
