OT/LTO Picket Locations

Because Occasional Teachers belong to a separate Local, ETFO Provincial requires separate membership reports after each day of picketing.  To assist with this tracking, the following sites have been designated as OT/LTO only picket locations for Tuesday, Feb. 4th and Thursday, Feb. 6th:

LONDON:

  • Fairmont Public School
  • Woodland Heights Public School
  • John Dearness Public School
OXFORD COUNTY:
  • Southside Public School in Woodstock
  • Hickson Public School
ELGIN COUNTY:
  • Elgin Court Public School in St. Thomas
MIDDLESEX COUNTY:
  • Mary Wright Public School in Strathroy
LTOs cannot picket with their home schools - All OTs are expected to participate!

Shift 1 begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m.
Shift 2 starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m.
There is no need to pre-register, just sign in with the Picket Captain at the site and shift you select.
No identification or ETFO membership number is required.

Contact your OT Local at etfotvot@gmail.com or 519-641-3936 for further information.

It Affects Us All
We comment Bell for their work to end the stigma surrounding mental health.
