Women

Together we work to organize for a union and an education system that value equity at their foundation.

The summer issue of Voice is our women’s issue, an opportunity to focus on the contributions, leadership, experiences and perspectives of women.

Deborah St Amant reflects on her leadership journey as an educator and an Indigenous woman within ETFO.

Tina Surdivall considers why representation matters when teaching all students, but particularly girls, STEAM subjects.

Amanda Cannon encourages educators to learn about and centre the voices of diverse women in Canadian history.

We know that high-quality, equitable and inclusive public schools are key to increasing equity in Ontario. Together, we will continue to fight to make our vision for public education a reality.

Jennifer Reid considers how educators can encourage their students to be climate justice activists.

We know that women, particularly those that are racialized and dealing with precarity in its different forms, bore the brunt of this pandemic.

The summer issue of Voice is always our women’s issue. It is an opportunity to highlight women’s voices, consider the intersections of our struggles and to talk about the value and impact of ETFO’s women’s programs.

With the summer women’s issue of Voice, we recognize not only the important contributions of ETFO women members but also the differential impacts of the pandemic and all of the cuts from the Ford Conservative government on women and other marginalized groups.
