Marissa is an elementary teacher.

She's constantly rationing basic supplies, like paper and pencils.

The govt's $750 supplies card won't fix that, as it cuts into existing classroom funding – and does nothing to address the $6.4 billion in chronic underfunding facing #OntEd.

June is Indigenous Peoples’ History Month.

Each & every day, #CatholicTeachers reaffirm our shared commitment to champion the message that #EveryChildMatters as we continue the path towards #TruthAndReconciliation!

Thank a union. Weekends, safety, overtime, maternity leave, sick leave…fairness has always been a fight. Workers fought for all rights from corporate bosses. Fairness over greed matters more than ever. A week at #CLC begins.

Today we recognize World Day for Safety and Health at Work — a reminder that every worker deserves a safe, healthy environment.

Let’s continue to look out for one another, speak up, and prioritize well-being in every space we share. Safety isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Today, on World Book Day, grab a book, share a story, recommend a favourite, or read aloud with someone. Let’s celebrate the magic of reading together!

[Dufferin Peel (OECTA) Elementary Unit @elemdp]

Today is a reminder that small actions in our classrooms can spark big change. Whether it’s reducing waste, exploring outdoor learning, or inspiring student voice around sustainability — it all matters.

Thank you, educators, for helping shape a greener future 💚
