Today, and always, ETFO celebrates girls, women, and non-binary students in our school communities. This year's International Day of the Girl theme is Elevating Girls' Voices for Sustainable Development. We are committed to uplifting all students' voices, especially girls, so their truth can be heard. #DayoftheGirl

This morning 300+ educators joined together to send federal workers our solidarity and the PM a message: Don’t trample on workers rights, stop bill C-39 and protect the right to strike. It’s our right! #canlab Send your MP a message workerstogether.ca/repeal-10…. #onted

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, honours Residential School Survivors, those who never returned home, and the families and communities that continue to be impacted by the Residential School system. Wearing orange recognizes and affirms that #EveryChildMatters, while encouraging meaningful conversations, learning, and most importantly, action. A collection of classroom resources is available through the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation to support education, reflection, and action in schools and communities. Visit nctr.ca.

Members of the provincial Executive are wearing orange to show their commitment to action, learning, and unlearning as our union works for truth, justice, and reconciliation. September 30 calls on every Canadian to take part and renew the relationship with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Join us with action to say #EveryChildMatters. #NDTR #onpoli

The federal Liberal government recently introduced Bill C-39, which would give the government new and expanded powers to intervene and shut down legal strikes. No government should have sweeping power to decide when workers can exercise their fundamental right to strike. ETFO calls on Members of Parliament to respect workers’ rights and amend Bill C-39 to ensure the right to strike is protected. TAKE ACTION at workerstogether.ca/repeal-10… #canlab #cdnpoli
