I'll preface this by saying that my fiancee is a teacher.
She has been teaching for 6 years including 3 spent in garbage holes in Northern AB and Northern Sask because she couldn't get a job here. She doesn't have a permanent position yet and has had to take contract work and hasn't had to spend much time on the sub list since coming here.
She also works with a teacher 8 years in, who for the first time this year has a full-time contract for a year.
The job security if great, if you're one of the lucky ones who gets it.
