About 130 staff from the southern Alberta facility, including nurses, health-care aides and support staff, have been off the job since Monday.
"We're pleased a tentative agreement could be reached both sides find acceptable," said Guy Smith, president of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees.
Staff will vote on the deal on Saturday and the results will be released later that afternoon.
