TORONTO — Schools across Ontario will see several rounds of strikes this week, in the elementary, secondary and French systems, as teachers try to put pressure on the government during contract talks.
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is holding a provincewide strike on Tuesday, and all other boards will be targeted a second day during the week as well.
Today, elementary teachers are on strike at the Avon Maitland, Durham, Halton, Hastings-Prince Edward, Lambton Kent, Rainbow, Thames Valley, Upper Canada and Upper Grand school boards and the Campbell Children’s School Authority.
The union representing French teachers has announced it will be starting weekly, provincewide strikes starting Thursday.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, which has been holding rotating strikes since last year, will strike Thursday at the Algoma, Huron-Superior Catholic, Superior-Greenstone, Greater Essex County, Avon Maitland, Peel, Niagara, Limestone and Renfrew County school boards.
All four major teachers’ unions, including Catholic teachers, are engaging in strikes as little progress appears to have been made in bargaining over the past several months.
Catholic schools are still open and running Thursday. Just the noon hour aids will be striking. So send your kiddies to school lol.
Chris Michaud ok but kids still go to school. I checked the school board page and it says classes will be running as usual.

They are fighting for more then that. Perhaps SaultOnline can enlighten everyone with a caption etc.
Lisa M. Souliere people just like to rap off on line ..usually they are the ones who know nothing about what’s going on and are mad because their babysitters are on strike lol
Dennis Porter Pretty much what they’ve become eh..glorified well paid daycares…
The list grows every week. Nothing can be put into a contract that will fix it. The gov isn’t going to budge.
What kind of people use kids to get what they want losers that’s who
Educate yourself before commenting…today’s lesson
Dennis Porter are you suggesting the kids are in no way being used as leverage in the negotiations? Before you go making a fool of yourself, take a second and think.
Isn’t this all about the kids? 🤔
You have no clue ..I’m far from making a fool of myself.
I agree no one cares about the kids on either side
Pink Slips all around
