A friendly reminder to all #CatholicTeachers that #PinkShirtDay is TOMORROW!💓

Wear pink & show your support as we stand against bullying & champion kindness & inclusion. #onted

[OECTA Simcoe Muskoka @OECTASimcoe]

#PinkShirtDay is an opportunity to #LiftEachOtherUp by fostering acceptance and breakdown the harmful effects of bullying.

"Those who display the Pride flag are engaging in an act of inclusivity & love."

"The proposed motion is an affront to the core teachings of Catholicism, & the core mission of York Catholic schools." #CatholicTeachers #onted

@BeachLoverOnt @fordnation @Sflecce Maybe HE should get himself to a bargaining table with the teachers…instead of making uniformed accusations!

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

We stand with parents who insist that their children stay in class free from disruption & focused on learning.

See my latest statement on OECTA’s strike-mandate. 👇

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

BREAKING: 97% of #CatholicTeachers vote "YES"!

Our overwhelming strike mandate sends a clear msg to @FordNation & Catholic school board reps to get serious at the bargaining table & work meaningfully with teachers to best support #onted students. #onpoli

#CatholicTeachers continue to be committed to working hard and realizing a fair deal, says @OECTAprez René Jansen in de Wal. 👏
But we need the govt to “come and actually have real conversations and deal with the real issues.” #onted #onpoli

Violence, hate, homophobia, & transphobia have NO place in #onted schools.

Our schools must always be safe & welcoming environments for #2SLGBTQIA+ students, educators, & communities! #CatholicTeachers #onpoli

Flying the Pride flag 🏳️‍🌈, as the majority of #onted Catholic school boards already do, “isn’t a small gesture… it’s life-changing – and lifesaving – for queer and trans students.”

What does pride mean to you?

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

Flying the #PrideFlag 🏳️‍🌈 outside our #onted Catholic schools is a demonstration to #2SLGBTQIA+ students, #CatholicTeachers, staff, families – everyone – that we are committed to celebrating love & diversity, & that hate & homophobia have no place in our classrooms. #onpoli

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

All #onted Catholic boards should fly the #PrideFlag.

Period. 🏳️‍🌈

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

Once again, evidence shows private, for-profit health care to be wildly more expensive than publicly-delivered care.

We're going to be paying for privatization in higher taxes and worse care! #onpoli

For all those who voted in the health care referendum this weekend, @fordnation stood up in the legislature and suggested it was a scam!

[Waterloo Catholic Teachers @OECTAWaterloo]

Here’s a shocking outcome…..

Call the lawyers! We want a redo!

[Waterloo Catholic Teachers @OECTAWaterloo]

Lots of questions about eligibility for candidates including those deemed unacceptable earlier

Trustee Kraft, “I feel like I’ve been mislead” and am not ready to vote on anything else

Motion is withdrawn

No decision tonight……
