In the upcoming days, schools will be electing Workplace Stewards and Alternates for the 2026–2027 school year. Next year will be a significant one for our Union. With bargaining on the horizon, we know there will be challenges ahead, and we will need strong teams in every school to help keep members informed, engaged, and connected.

Pride 2026 Resources and Events

Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining a group of ETFO Thames Valley members at Queen's Park to meet with Terence Kernaghan, MPP for London North Centre, and discuss the ongoing impact of chronic underfunding on Ontario's publicly funded elementary schools.

As we move toward the end of another busy school year, we want to sincerely thank members for the tremendous care, professionalism, and dedication you continue to show each and every day in support of students, families, and colleagues. We recognize the significant work taking place in schools at this time of year, and this memo is intended to provide members with reminders regarding the upcoming Report Card Writing Day, as well as Collective Agreement language related to classroom packing and unpacking.
