Congratulations to three very deserving #ETFO leaders. Proud to see Sylvia van Campen from @ETFOUpperCanada re-elected!

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

What’s the plan for 4-11 year olds who will be returning to classrooms in September? Actually… where’s the “plan”?

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

BREAKING: ETFO, @OECTAProv and @osstf are individually filing new Charter challenges against the Ford government's attack on democracy. This is about protecting basic democratic rights. Read the joint statement https://t.co/FYPSQ8me3i #onpoli #canlab #onted

[OFL @OFLabour]

To cling to power, Ford needs us to forget that his government abandoned Ontarians and trampled over our Charter Rights with his abuse of the notwithstanding clause – but #WeWontForget.

Send a personal reminder to yourself ahead of next year's election: https://t.co/ymZM53vG4C

[ETFO Upper Canada OT @ETFOUpperCanada]

Absolutely!

[Erin Blair @ar_scorCdn]

Virtual Learning - “It’s an emergency measure that should be eliminated as soon as possible.” This is especially true of hybrid models which serve no one well. #etfo https://t.co/4ykQay1yrR

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Let us be perfectly clear. ETFO's position is and has always been that in-person #onted is the best and most equitable learning for all students. Educators want to be in school and for schools to be safe for students, educators and all staff. Don't believe Ford's fiction! #onpoli

[UCDSB @UCDSB]

Today is School Principals' Day! The #UCDSB is lucky to have over 100 dedicated Principals and Vice-Principals that work with our students, parents, staff and community to ensure our schools fulfil the needs of our students, both in the classroom and beyond.

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Big shout-out to all of the School Boards that are providing educators with one or two days next week to transition (pivot) to remote emergency learning! On behalf of 83,000 #ETFO members... thank you for doing the right thing! @ETFOeducators @OPSBA

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Despite what Ford and Lecce announced educators, even those in hot spots, are not being prioritized. Many can't even book an appointment. The lack of planning by this government is rash, reckless, and dangerous experiment on people's lives. #onpoli #FordVaccineFailure

[René Jansen in de Wal, OECTA President @OECTAprez]

Even for @Fordnation and @sflecce, cutting $1.6 billion to #onted, by secret memo, when we will still be grappling with COVID-19, is a new low. We will all suffer from this govts callous disregard for public services. #onpoli https://t.co/fIkZFZmBh2

[ETFO Upper Canada OT @ETFOUpperCanada]

Tonight at 5PM #ETFO members in Upper Canada will receive a call for a provincial townhall meeting. Be sure to pick up your phone!

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

The March Break trial balloon is intended to distract us from the Ford govt’s failure to manage the COVID response in a way that would’ve kept schools open throughout the pandemic, and it’s causing more unnecessary stress for students, families and educators. #onpoli #onted

[ETFO Upper Canada OT @ETFOUpperCanada]

Wo don't always know the battle someone is facing. Today is #BellLetsTalk day. ETFO has released a bulletin on Mental Health and Wellness Tips for Members. https://t.co/YrQ7PkMoiK

[Bell Let's Talk @Bell_LetsTalk]

Today, every view of this video helps create positive change. All you need to do is watch it and Bell will donate 5¢ more to Canadian mental health initiatives. Retweet to help spread the word! #BellLetsTalk

[Mario Spagnuolo @spagsmario]

The strategy of distract and deflect: Ford and Lecce avoiding responsibility for their failed COVID school reopening plan. #ETFO #thankyoudavidfisman #SafetyFirst

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Statement from @ETFOpresident Sam Hammond on #ETFO's work with @DFisman.

#onpoli #onted

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Good news! The Ontario government has clarified that BOTH education workers and educators are included in the list of essential workers for the vaccine in Phase 2 starting April.

➡️ It takes all #onted workers to deliver quality learning and support public education. #onpoli

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

Think of how different things could have been for our students and our schools if @Sflecce and @fordnation sought the advise of educators last summer as we begged them to listen to common sense solutions to reopen safely.

I didn't have to be this way.

#onted

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

It's day two with every #onted student and educator engaged in distance learning. We are still waiting for the so-called comprehensive online learning management system and training that the Minister of Ed tweeted about on Sunday, but educators continue to do great work!

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

With people dying at an alarming rate in our LTC homes, the vaccine sitting in freezers for over a week, the Minister of Finance off vacationing in St Barts, and the Premier caught lying for him, this photo op is simply a distraction! Don’t be distracted!
