new items for children up to 13 years of age, especially pajamas, socks, sweatshirts, new books, art and craft supplies, movie passes, toys for birthdays, toothbrushes etc.

Bargaining and TVOT Members
TVOT members are reminded that the ETFO Provincial filing of a No Board Report affects all Teachers/OTs/LTOs in the elementary panel.
It is expected that in the next few weeks, Teacher Stewards may call meetings at their schools to distribute information in a timely fashion. Both daily and LTO Occasional Teachers will be expected to attend these meetings if they are in a school that day.
TVOT members can also keep abreast of matters by registering at www.etfotvot.com .
Your OT Local can only send out emergent news to those members whom we can reach, so be in the know - Do not react to rumours!

ETFO Provincial Conferences are open to all ETFO members including Occasional Teachers. Though these are usually hosted in Toronto, aside from a nominal registration fee, in most cases your transportation, meals, shared accommodations, material costs and release time payment (i.e. you are paid as if you taught that day), are covered. We urge members to take a minute to peruse what is being offered from our Provincial ETFO office.
