Catholic Teachers
@OECTAProv
OECTA represents the 45,000 passionate and qualified teachers in Ontario’s publicly funded English Catholic schools, from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
Doug Ford is borrowing from Trump’s playbook to push legislation that: 👎Distracts from chronic #OntEd underfunding 👎Strips local decision making 👎Puts schools at risk – when students need help the most Watch and share ➡️ @OECTAprez debunks 3 myths about @FordNation's bill.
Ontario students deserve better. First VP @LLLacaria joined fellow #OntEd leaders, parents, and the @OntarioNDP to speak against Bill 33 — a legislation that grants sweeping power to the province while silencing local voices and ignoring the Ford gov’s $6.3B in education cuts.

“They’re messing up what could be a good idea by failing to consult in a meaningful way.” - @OECTAPrez René Jansen in de Wal Another page from @FordNation's playbook: pushing new policy on publicly funded #OntEd without proper consultation with teachers & community members.

By taking over school boards, the Ford government is shutting parents and communities out of decisions that impact their kids’ futures. Today I stood with @osstf, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, @otffeo, local trustees, and parents from across Ontario — united in one clear message: our…

A heartfelt thank you to all the #CatholicTeachers who showed up, stood proud, and volunteered their time at this year's Pride Toronto booth! Your dedication to creating safer, more inclusive spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ students and teachers matters. 🌈 #onted
🍁Happy #CanadaDay!🍁 As we celebrate Canada’s heritage & history, we also reflect on our shared responsibility to uphold justice and reconciliation for all – both in and outside of the classroom. Let’s continue to build an equitable & inclusive 🇨🇦 for all!
#CatholicTeachers are proud to teach with #Pride! 🌈💖🎒🏳️🌈 @PrideToronto has been amazing – THANK YOU 🙏! If you're looking to stop by our booth, we're on Church Street, between Isabella and Gloucester streets. Happy #PrideMonth #Onted! 🌈💖✨
The Ford govt's decision to take over more school boards is a thinly veiled attempt to shift the blame for its chronic underfunding. If @FordNation truly cared about #OntEd students, it would stop the cuts and make a real commitment to students with real investments in schools.
🤝Canada’s strength is its diversity! 🍁 Today, & every day, we celebrate & honour the rich diversity of cultural values, experiences, & perspectives that shape our communities! #CatholicTeachers wish everyone a happy #MulticulturalismDay!
