From the Office of Lisa MacMaster, President OSSTF District 11 - Thames Valley
OSSTF Districts across Ontario will be rallying next week against the Ford government cuts to education.
OSSTF District 11 has invited ETFO members to join them for an information rally! The Ford Government has clearly signaled its intent to cut the Ontario budget. For our public education system, that's a cut of over one billion dollars. This means that EVERY member will be impacted. Jobs will be lost. This isn't fear mongering but a reality we have to be ready for.
We need to defend public education and we are asking for your help. It's expected that the budget will be released in late March - late April. Waiting until then to mobilize our members and educate our local MPP's about the significance of such a severe cut is too late.
We need your help on February 7th, help us show our local MPP's that cuts to education are not in the best interests of our students, staff or communities.
When : Thursday, February 7th from 4 - 5 pm!
Two locations: The Office of Teresa Armstrong, MPP at 155 Clarke Road, London or
The Office of Jeff Yurek, MPP at 750 Talbot Street, St. Thomas
Time: 4 - 5 pm
We look forward to seeing you there!
