The Elementary Teachers’ Federation – Toronto Occasional Teachers’ Local was formed in 1998 with the amalgamation of the seven predecessor public school boards in Metro Toronto. At the same time, the Ontario Public School Teachers’ Federation (OPSTF) and the Federation of Women Teachers’ Associations of Ontario (FWTAO) joined together to form the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO).
Our Local represents over 3,000 elementary occasional (substitute) teachers who teach for the Toronto District School Board in the elementary panel. All of our daily and long-term occasional teacher members are covered by the collective agreement (contract) that can be found on this website.
Our Local sends print newsletters to members’ homes 3 or 4 times per year. In addition, we hold three General Meetings each school year including an Annual General Meeting in May, as well as numerous professional development and social events. Members are advised to check this site frequently for updates and upcoming activities. Our members are also highly encouraged to visit the wonderful, informative website of our parent organization, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) at www.etfo.ca.
Our office is currently located at the Fairmeadow Centre (17 Fairmeadow Avenue) in the Yonge and York Mills area. We can be reached by phone, fax, email, Canada Post or TDSB Board courier at the following numbers and addresses:
