Special weather statement, cold warning issued for Toronto amid snow, strong winds, and ‘very cold wind chills’ cp24.com/local/toronto/…

Amid the firing and suspension of 10 teachers at Bowmore school in #Toronto, ETFO presidents and local leaders from across Ontario send a united message of support and solidarity for these beloved teachers, and for the #onted schools all students deserve! This is all our fight ✊✊ #canlab

#BREAKING: Winter storm could bring up to 60 cm of snow to Toronto and Mississauga. Live updates here cp24.com/local/toronto/…

Yes! Let's stop Trumpism coming to Canada

Smaller class sizes contribute to better learning. The TDSB’s provincially-appointed supervisor has rescinded a directive by the trustees that capped grades 4 to 8 at a maximum of 32 students. I’m calling on Queen’s Park to reverse this decision and support our kids’ education.

Today is the day — Happy 50th Anniversary to The Bionic Woman! Here is a heartfelt message from Lindsay (and a surprise guest!) to celebrate the moment. Watch the full video here: fb.watch/EDJub5AL9L/

To connect with those in their first five years of ETFO, we revised and improved the Welcome to ETFO booklet. Every union member should know about the membership services, professional learning opportunities and support available. If you know a new member or someone who is not connected with their union, please send them to etfo.ca/welcome #ETFOmoment #onted

Each year, ETFO produces several social justice posters to raise awareness and educate in schools and the community. Here are four posters ETFO created in 2025 to mark Black History Month in February, Jewish Heritage Month and Asian Heritage Month in May, and Women's History Month in October.

#ETFO has concerns about a shift towards more academic rigor as opposed to a play-based program. @etfopresident David Mastin said educators will need more guidance as to how these learning expectations will be measured in practice. “Our members are very capable of delivering an amazingly high quality programming and curriculum, but they need to know what the expectations are from the government." #onpoli #onted cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

"We’ve had a very quick turnaround to try to digest what’s in the curriculum document, and it does provide a little bit more clarity for some of our members on certain academic and curricular expectations," said @etfopresident David Mastin. "But it is maybe veering towards academic outcomes much more so than an emphasis on play-based learning," which he said is developmentally appropriate and helps build "foundational, important skills" in young kids. Ontario unveils new kindergarten curriculum. Here's what it will look like — and why critics are concerned thestar.com/news/gta/ontar…

Doug Ford’s priorities? Handouts for insiders. Ads for himself. Our kids? Still stuck in overcrowded, crumbling classrooms.

The Ford government’s appointed school supervisor has abruptly fired the TDSB director of education, calling it a “fresh start.” Parents say a real fresh start would be proper school funding, as critics question how someone with no education background can fire a veteran educator

It's another day in #onted with the Education Minister creating more instability and chaos in public education. Such interference and meddling in TDSB serve no one and do nothing to address the funding shortage and lack of support for special education in schools.

This afternoon, @ETFOpresident David Mastin stood alongside NDP Leader @MaritStiles, MPP and Education Critic @ChandraPasma, and affiliate presidents to warn against the passage of Bill 33. This is yet another distraction by the Ford government to turn our attention away from the devastating chronic underfunding of public education. #onted #onpoli
