The pages in this section provide the framework for how ETFO is governed and what it sets out to accomplish on behalf of its members. Its mission is defined in its statement of objects and in its yearly priorities.
While the programs and services of ETFO are designed with these objects in mind, each year at the Annual Meeting the membership sets the priorities of ETFO for the upcoming school year.
The ETFO Constitution and Bylaws are available here.
The objects of the Federation shall be:
3.1 to regulate relations between employees and employer including but not limited to securing and maintaining, through collective bargaining, the best possible terms and conditions of employment;
3.2 to advance the cause of education and the status of teachers and educational workers;
3.3 to promote a high standard of professional ethics and a high standard of professional competence;
3.4 to foster a climate of social justice in Ontario and continue a leadership role in such areas as anti-poverty, non-violence, and equity;
3.5 to promote and protect the interests of all members of the Federation and the students in their care;
3.6 to promote and defend the health and safety of members in the workplace; and
3.7 to co-operate with other organizations in Ontario, Canada and elsewhere, having the same or like objects.
