I'm raising money for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides to resume construction on their new training school and continue operating. Let's keep empowering Canadian's living with a disability by providing a Dog Guide at no cost. events.dogguides.com/s/170/161/t

Thanks to @torontotodayca for covering this story. I hope that one day families like ours will not have to jump through as many hoops to get appropriate accommodations in the classroom.

“We are calling for emergency investments to stave off yet another round of layoffs at @uvic"- @PEAinBC #bcpoli #solidarity #postsecondarylabour timescolonist.com/local-news/eve…

PEA joins UVic unions to call on Premier Eby and Minister Beare to immediately address the impact of budget cuts and layoffs at UVic. Without decisive leadership, these cuts will devastate workers and undermine the quality of education for students. pea.org/news-programs/…

Congrats, @Emmaformayor! #vtpoli

I'm grateful to the activists & elected officials continuing to fight for these kids. Early intervention makes an enormous difference. By denying the vast majority of ASD kids access to services in this key window, government truly is causing irreparable harm. #50KIsNotOk #onpoli

Amid job losses, post-secondary unions appeal to province to offset budget shortfalls timescolonist.com/local-news/ami…

Great to have @HKailley75 from the @bcfedoflabour speaking at the @peainbc Education Conference this afternoon. #solidarity

Today's pay transparency legislation is a start & moves BC in the right direction. We're glad to see Parliamentary Secretary @kellipaddon say this is a first step toward pay equity, because pay equity is what we really need: going beyond showing the pay gap, to closing it. #BCLab

"We need a strong commitment from the provincial government to help make sure that post-secondary institutions aren’t harmed by declining enrolment."- @PEAinBC

On a day when people are talking about #MentalHealth, let's remember that WCB still makes it harder for workers to make claims for psychological injuries than physical ones. And let's keep pushing to change that. #BCLab

December 6, 1989, 14 women murdered in an act of gender-based violence. Never Again.

🧵: Victory and vindication for workers! Just a few hours ago, the Ontario Superior Court struck down Bill 124, the wage restraint legislation.

This is a huge win for educational workers, students, CUPE, and the labour movement more broadly. Forcing government to reverse course like this is unprecedented and is going to mean fairer collective agreements across the board in the months and years ahead. #canlab #onpoli

As a fellow parent of a kiddo who depends on these skilled and dedicated education workers every day, I fully support them as they fight for a fair contract. #solidarity #onpoli #39kIsNotEnough

The Ford govts use of the notwithstanding clause is an attack on workers everywhere. Workers - especially education workers who help our kids every day - deserve our thanks, respect AND fair wages. They DON’T deserve the heavy-handed tactics of Ontario's Conservative govt.

This govt's repeated override of public sector workers’ rights sets a dangerous precedent and sends a clear message. It suggests a complete lack of respect for the people of Ontario who carry out its very mission, and for the laws of this country. #onpoli amapceo.on.ca/news/outrageou…
