Greetings, Toronto Occasional Teachers!


We are writing to inform you that, following a motion passed at the May 16, 2024 General Meeting, the ETFO-Toronto Occasional Teacher Local’s physical office will be closing on October 31, 2024.

 

This transition to a primarily virtual operation, with occasional in-person meetings, will help reduce monthly costs for the local.

 

Our new mailing address is:

PO Box 155 Toronto E, ON M6H 4E2

 

Please ensure your contact information is up to date. We look forward to staying connected!
