Happy Holidays! Wishing everyone in our community best wishes for the new year!

Important guest post on whether the presence of police in schools is warranted. @PublicEdBC #bced #bcpoli

The involvement of police in our public schools warrants a deep discussion of the intended and unintended impact. You'll hear from a very experienced retired educator on this timely issue in our latest blog post. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.org/the-role-of-sc…

Democratic governance must remain at the heart of public education in British Columbia. We acknowledge the importance of safety in schools but emphasize that addressing such concerns requires collaboration. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood #cdned instituteforpubliceducation.org/statement-of-c…

IPE/BC is very concerned about the Minister of Education/Child Care's intervention in the work of the democratically elected SD61 school board. We urge the Ministry to work collaboratively and foster meaningful dialogue. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.org/statement-of-c…

With great confidence, the BCTF offers its wholehearted endorsement of @SussanneRS as president and @HKailley75 as secretary-treasurer of the @bcfed. Together, they have proven themselves to be leaders who understand the value and impact of the labour movement. #BCFED #BCpoli

We will continue to post occasional updates on X. But the toxicity and bad faith interactions make this space a sad shell of what it used to be. We will be moving our engagement to Bluesky. #Bced and #bcpoli media, teachers, and others... follow us there. bctf.bsky.social

Welcome Lisa Beare to #bced as the new Minister of Education. We look forward to introducing Minister Beare to the amazing work of our members and working collaboratively on key issues, including the urgent the need for a workforce strategy to address recruitment and retention.

The GVTA stands in solidarity @ILWUCanada Local 514. The government’s decision to impose binding arbitration undermines the rights of workers to collective bargaining and weakens their ability to fight for fair wages and safe workplaces. #UnionStrong #solidarity #LabourRights

Justin Trudeau has caved to corporate greed by meddling in the ports dispute, again. He's basically taken all the power away from workers and their unions. Poilievre and his Conservatives are hiding per usual. The NDP stand shoulder-to-shoulder with working people and unions. We want more unionized, mortgage-paying jobs, not less. More money for workers instead of the CEOs.

The @CanadianLabour International Film Festival looks great! If you'd like to attend, you can RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/cliff-2… @VLC_BC

Today we pause to honour and reflect on the many lives lost through the atrocities of war. As teachers, let’s continue to inspire our students to seek peace, work together, and exhibit empathy. 🌺 #RemembranceDay #BCed
