We are Ontario's Catholic teachers! We teach in classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in publicly funded English Catholic schools, with almost 45,000 teachers working across the province. We are passionate about our work and care deeply about the quality of education in this province. We take a values-based approach to education, incorporating important lessons – like empathy, resilience and respect – into every subject we teach. We are proud that our students consistently become active and engaged members of society in Ontario and beyond. As an association, we advocate for the welfare of teachers and our students, promote the principles of Catholic education and the strength of Ontario’s publicly funded Catholic education system, and support efforts to achieve social and economic justice. Our local unit serves over 300 Secondary, Elementary and Occasional Teachers who teach with the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, teaching in 18 elementary schools and two high schools in a largely rural area. Through our leadership and mandate we strive to protect the rights of our members and ensure their working conditions are safe and fair. We support teachers as they undertake professional development, through member education and engagement. We hold two AGMs per school year - in the fall and in the spring. We encourage all members to contact the office or staff reps with any queries or concerns. Call Early. Call Often.
