#OECTA First Vice-President @LLLacaria urges the govt to come to the table ready to bargain.

Ready to move beyond the posturing and politics.

Ready to focus on the real issues impacting #OntEd students, #CatholicTeachers, and Ontario's 255,000+ teachers and education workers.

The research is clear. Smaller class sizes lead to better outcomes. Period.

- #OECTA Northeastern Unit Release Officer David Rosso calls on MPPs to use the 2026 budget to invest in #OntEd students and schools. #CatholicTeachers

Grateful to #AEFO for hosting education partners for an important conversation on bargaining and the key issues facing teachers and education workers across Ontario. Strong voices, shared priorities, and real solidarity. Merci!

It's past time for this govt to ask why the conditions in #OntEd schools are causing teachers to leave the profession.

- @oectaottawa Unit President Mary Catherine Hogan tells MPPs that the 2026 budget must address the growing teacher recruitment and retention crisis.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

We can't put a price on our students' futures. We can't put a price on #CatholicTeachers' health and safety.

- @EOecta Unit President Andrew Donihee tells MPPs that the govt needs to start talking to teachers to ensure that the 2026 budget invests in #OntEd students and schools.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

Special education needs real funding! Critical classroom supports for students that we had 10 years ago have disappeared.

- @oectarenfrew Unit President Scott Lafreniere tells MPPs that the 2026 budget must invest in special education resources to support every #OntEd student.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

#CatholicTeachers are paying out of pocket to buy paper for photocopies, because schools don’t have textbooks or basic school supplies.

- @WaterlooOECTA Unit President David Geraghty asks the govt where the so-called “historic investment” in #OntEd is, as it's not in classrooms.

[Lisa Lacaria @LLLacaria]

Thank you to the English Catholic Council of Directors of Education for the invitation to their 25th AGM banquet and for the chance to connect and talk about the work we all do to support our Catholic schools.

This isn't just Donnub's story.

Ontario teachers are facing a lack of resources, inadequate mental health supports, and growing class sizes.

We need real government investment to best support #OntEd students and let #CatholicTeachers like Donnub do what they do best – teach!

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

#CatholicTeachers at Queen’s Park yesterday with the Friends and Advocates of Catholic Education, including @CatholicEdu & the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario, to talk with MPPs about the amazing things happening in #OntEd Catholic schools & best supports for students.

[Lisa Lacaria @LLLacaria]

Great day at Queen’s Park speaking with MPPs about all the amazing things happening in our Catholic schools. Proud to highlight the work our teachers and students do every day.

Another successful day for #CatholicTeachers at #OFL2025 comes to an end. ✅

Thank you to all our delegates who spoke at the mic, encouraged their fellow Catholic teacher to do the same, and engaged with our #OnLab siblings in our fight for Ontario workers!

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: Education protesters have rushed up to the front doors of Queen’s Park to protest Bill 33.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

#CatholicTeachers – TOMORROW is the day!

Wear Red for Ed to send a clear message across #OntEd that we will continue to fight against #Bill33 & its regressive mandate!

Every shirt counts.
Every voice matters.
