CANADIAN TEACHERS’ FEDERATION PRESIDENT CLINT JOHNSTON


C


lint Johnston greeted delegates and spoke about the role that ETFO plays in the work of the CTF, which represents more than 370,000


teachers across Canada. Te CTF is part of Education International, which represents more than three-million teachers worldwide. Johnston reflected on how CTF is work-


ing to build a Canada where every child has equitable access to quality public education. “We value truth, hard work and we depend on each other to make our country prosper- ous and well educated,” he said. Unity is critical, particularly in light of


harmful ideologies that are re-emerging and creating unsafe spaces for the students in our classes. “Tis is a time of dynamic political upheaval,” said Johnston. “It is important to remember that the ideas south of the border are in Canada as well.” He stressed the importance of ETFO’s


advocacy: “Ontario employs more teachers than anywhere else in Canada, so your voices are important.”
