Couldn’t agree more with this graphic!
@Rob_Fleming safe ventilation and masks are going to be the most important safety measures for #bced besides physical distancing.
Please keep everyone safe!

Let’s help the Education Steering Committee members with ideas for COVID-19 plans and reopening schools.
The more diverse the perspectives the better! Please pass on and invite teachers to contribute!

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

I agree strongly with Kertes’ closing comments. “My hope is from our experience of the AGM that we learn to never again silence anyone, especially not in a pandemic, on the most critical issues facing our profession, including the issues of racial justice and reconciliation”

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

With the leadership report including:
-supporting locals and engage members to develop strategies to protect teachers' health and safety, defend the integrity of public education, and improve teachers's working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We can!

@CaroleGordon @TeriMooring @ClintJohnston7 @CaroleGordonBC Sorry for the mix up @CaroleGordon and @CaroleGordonBC , Thanks for being a good sport 😄

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

What a great election #bctfAGM2020 Congratulations to @TeriMooring @ClintJohnston7 and @CaroleGordon on your success. Thanks to Rich for his campaign of vision and integrity. It was my pleasure to run for 2nd VP alongside Carole, and I'm proud of our engaged democratic union.

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

Having served as a local President, I can say that supporting our most vulnerable members with our Salary Indemnity Plan is critical! I'm glad that it was passed, especially as we enter a time where more members may be needing the support.

The SIP is a great plan that serves our most vulnerable members! Definitely voting for the fee increase... #BCTFAGM2020

[Janine Fraser @Janfra2]

Rich Hotson gave people the feels with his speech from the heart & his promises to hear teachers stories to lift them up to make a difference. This is the leadership we need now during a pandemic and in the future in #bced #bctf #bctfAGM2020 https://t.co/d5XUl4mcvh

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

Thank you to the @bctf staff, current executive and chairs for all of the work being done behind the scenes. I would also like to thank all of the candidates for the excellent discussion and ideas that we all bring. I am looking forward to our session today! #bctfAGM2020 #bctf

@sbauhart @TeriMooring @bctf Great work! Thank you @bctf staff!

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

I have been fortunate to work with Marjorie in supporting the Aboriginal teachers in my district and the BCTF, and I support her for MAL.
Her leadership and voice are so very important to have at the table and I hope to work together with her for BC teachers.

The Member at Large elections at the first ever BCTF Virtual AGM will happen on Wed May 27.

I am running for re-election as Member-at-Large to the BCTF Executive Committee.

Thank you to the @bctf staff for rising to the challenge of planning for and making this #bctfagm2020 happen! Thank you to the chairpersons who are also doing an excellent job of keeping the meeting flowing!

[BC Teachers’ Federation @bctf]

Yesterday, we made it through day 1 of our 104th Annual General Meeting. Using 4 different platforms, 600+ delegates could listen and debate. A virtual AGM can’t replace the in-person connections, but we’ll get the core work done. Thanks to our staff and #bctfAGM2020 Chairs!

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

@powtownteacher @Janfra2 @bctf @CaroleGordonBC Feel free to stop into my zoom tomorrow to chat! I’d like to get to know you @powtownteacher.
I agree that having new ideas, discussions are good and healthy for our union. Thank you for the encouragement.

[Victoria Teachers @gvta]

Telling teachers to use sick days or take a medical leave is not an accommodation. #bced

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

I'm running for 2nd VP of the BCTF this AGM.
I will work to engage our members, raise the status of the profession, achieve professional pay/workload/autonomy, and work for equity in our union. Go to https://t.co/XQsT1SeYvz to connect with me #bctf #BCTFAGM2020 #readtheplan

[Teri Mooring🇨🇦 @TeriMooring]

@lisapaigecogan @bctf @VESTA39 Employers need to follow the law. The ‘duty to accomdate’ is well established. Employers cannot discriminate based on any of the protected grounds including disability. The @bctf along with local unions are working with teachers who need accommodations.

[Steve Querenjung @Querengesser]

@TeriMooring @Rob_Fleming It is good to hear about not having to both teach online and in-person at the same time, but what about the prep/planning/transition that teachers are doing right now on top of their current remote workload?

Thanks for the endorsement Shawn, I appreciated having you stop in for my first meet and greet on Friday to ask questions about my platform. I am looking forward to the AGM!

[Bandmaster Yoda @ShawnGough3]

Hope everyone at the first ever remote AGM for BCTF will join me in supporting Kip Wood, Steve Querengesser, Kiran Sidhu, Alison Jambor, and Rich Hotson for EC. Thank you to all who put your names forward. It is a great privilege and honour to serve our BCTF colleagues this way
