Bargaining is underway, and Ontario's education unions are standing together!
United in the fight for better funding and staffing , and strong publicly funded education that students deserve.

The Ford government’s latest education funding announcement is deeply inadequate. A 1% increase below inflation and a $56.2M cut to the Classroom Staffing Fund will push Ontario schools even further into crisis. Read the OSBCU's response here: https://t.co/p8lqEnq3hP

Ford gov is stripping power from elected school board trustees and handing it to unelected executives.

“A blatant power grab that does nothing for students.” — Joe Tigani

Underfunding, staffing shortages, violence in schools — still ignored.

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

With possible staff cuts this fall, OSBCU Education Workers are united in calling for real negotiations now, before more harm is done to students and the people who support them.
It’s about stability in our schools and protecting the services students rely on.

The last thing we need is more cuts to an already shortage of essential staff. Students are not getting the support they need because we are supporting multiple students at a time.

Unions representing support workers in local school boards say bargaining must begin early in light of warnings that layoffs will occur this fall.

Blaming educational assistants for a special education deficit gets it wrong. EAs are facing understaffed, increasingly unsafe classrooms. Injuries and burnout are symptoms of a system in crisis — not the cause of it.

#ONStorm #ONwx 🔥 WIDESPREAD EXTREME WILDFIRE DANGER 🔥

Wildfire danger is on the rise across Southern Ontario and conditions are expected to become even more challenging in the coming days.

Two wildfires, HAL018 south of Coe Hill and HAL019 between Kinmount and Bobcaygeon, continue to burn out of control. Fire crews are actively working to suppress both blazes, but the weather is not on their side. Monday’s forecast will make firefighting extremely difficult, both for these active fires and for any new ones that may ignite.

As shown on the wildfire risk map, much of Southern Ontario will be under high to extreme fire danger on Monday. Daytime highs are expected to climb into the low to mid 30s, while relative humidity could drop into the 20 to 30 percent range.

This combination means we could see “crossover conditions” which is a dangerous situation where the temperature in Celsius is higher than the humidity percentage. When this happens, fuels like grass, brush and trees dry out rapidly, and fire behaviour can become intense, fast-moving and unpredictable.

Unfortunately, there is little rain in the forecast to help ease the situation. The next chance for precipitation comes on Tuesday, but it may bring thunderstorms with it. While rain would be welcome, lightning strikes could ignite new fires, adding to the strain on crews.

Many municipalities across the region have total fire bans in place, and it is critical to respect these restrictions. Even a small spark from a campfire, burn barrel or discarded cigarette could start a fire that spreads quickly in these conditions. Always check with your local municipality or fire department for the latest rules before lighting any fire.

IMPORTANT: Stay well away from any active wildfire zones, including areas around HAL018 and HAL019. Getting too close can put your safety at serious risk and can also interfere with firefighting operations. Crews need clear access to roads, lakes and staging areas for equipment, helicopters and water bombers. Unnecessary traffic, spectators or recreational boaters in these areas can slow response times and make an already dangerous job even more difficult. If you see road or waterway closures near a wildfire, respect them so crews can focus on the task at hand.

With extreme heat, low humidity, active wildfires and no meaningful rain until at least Tuesday, the fire danger in Southern Ontario will remain very high. Please do your part to reduce the risk.
