At HWDSB, we are pleased that the Council of Trustees’ Association and the Government of Ontario have successfully negotiated a tentative settlement on central terms of a collective agreement with Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) education workers. 1/3

This means that HWDSB schools will return to in-person learning on Monday, November 21, 2022. In addition to our focus on student achievement, well-being, and safety, we place a high priority on our relationship with staff, including CUPE caretakers and maintenance workers. 2/3

We recognize that labour disruption is a difficult experience. We thank families for their patience and commit to keeping you informed as we move through the next contract negotiations with other employee groups. 3/3
