June is National Indigenous History Month. This is a time for people in Canada to come together and celebrate First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples; a time to reflect on, listen and learn from the diverse experiences and knowledge of Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island and recognize their contributions - past and present.

For many Canadians, the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada was, and in some cases still is - unknown due to a history of colonization. We use this month as a time to reflect on the past and look to the future.

Together we can amplify the voices and strengths of Indigenous youth, leaders and communities by highlighting their contributions and showing up to affirm calls for change.

Way behind on this post but a big thank you to @albertateachers for their hospitality and welcome during their Annual Representative Assembly in May.

Was great to join CTF colleagues in attendance as well!

New FOI data: majority of Ontario students are rejecting the Ford government’s e-learning mandate.

70% of the first graduating class opted out or were exempt.

The province calls it a tool for digital literacy. Critics say it's a cost-cutting measure: https://t.co/a9aqpP98vC

Happy Ontario flag day!

SCOOP: TDSB to cut 15 specialized kindergarten classes for students with disabilities, after making the controversial decision last year to increase the size of the classes.

It is the latest in a wave of cuts tied to a projected drop in enrolment: https://t.co/VECZrLuWZV

NEW: Most classroom teachers are unable to adequately support students with special education needs, according to a new AG report.

The report also raises concerns about rising EA absences, and students sent home when schools couldn't meet their needs. https://t.co/OxGhFeqxYX

[Chris Cowley @OTFpresFEO]

Ontario underfunding the students that require most support. A disgrace.

Strength in solidarity!

President René Jansen in de Wal sits alongside @ETFOeducators President David Mastin and Manitoba Teachers' Society President Lillian Klausen at #CLC2026. Teachers across Canada continue to fight for the publicly funded education system students deserve!

Amidst #OntEd’s teacher recruitment & retention crisis, the Ford govt has “deliberately doubled down on a test they knew would have disproportionate impacts & lead to uneven outcomes,” says OTF President & Table Officer @oectagovernor.

On Red Dress Day, we remember and honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people across Canada. We speak their names and call for justice—because there is still so much more to do.

OTF stands in solidarity with our members across the province on this Day of Action to tell the Ford government that our teachers, students, education workers and publicly funded education deserve better.

Today, OTF President Chris Cowley joined @ChandraPasma, parents, and education advocates to send a clear message to Minister Calandra that Bill 101 is the wrong direction for our education system and our students.

The Minister was called on to listen to those that know our classrooms best.

[Martha Hradowy @marthahradowy]

No money for education.
No money for kids.
No money for social services.
But somehow there’s money for spin and “connected and convenient care.”
That’s the Ford government’s budget in a nutshell: slogans over students, optics over people #ontpoli

[OTF/FEO @otffeo]

Again…No consultation with OTF and teachers on issues that take away from teacher autonomy and removes professional judgment risking successful implementations for students.

OTF President Chris Cowley stands with Affiliate Presidents and OSBCU President speaking out against the government’s latest announcement on limiting trustees and mandating teacher resources.

Another of the government’s latest distractions from the real issues faced by Ontario’s public education system.
