The Toronto Elementary Catholic Teachers (TECT) represents over 5000 permanent and occasional elementary teachers employed by the Toronto Catholic District SB.
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of James Ryan, a tireless advocate for equity, social justice & Catholic education. James, former OECTA president, TECT Executive member & dedicated teacher with the TCDSB, positively impacted countless lives. His legacy will live on.🙏🏽

#CatholicTeachers, joined by parents and other teachers and education workers, were fired up as we take action to best support students and call for real investment in #OntEd.

Ontario #CatholicTeachers mourn the tragic loss of life in Tumbler Ridge, BC. Our thoughts, prayers, and hearts are with the students, staff, fellow teachers, and community members of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School who have been impacted.
Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Inclusion is essential. Teachers raise awareness among our students each and every day about barriers faced by those differently abled and foster an understanding of both visible and invisible disabilities.
#CatholicTeachers from @TECT951 and @tsuOECTA joined @MayorOliviaChow, as well as teachers and education workers from across the city, in support of plans to expand and make Toronto's School Nutrition Program universal.
No student at school should go hungry! #OntEd
