The people united will never be defeated!
#OFL2025 has come to an end — a week full of big ideas, bigger action, and an inspiring group of #OnLab workers united in championing change. A big thank you to all our #CatholicTeachers who attended, fighting for the future of #OntEd!
It is the final day of #OFL2025 and #CatholicTeachers are working right up until the very end!
VP of Equity Sharon Giroux spoke alongside CTF Vice-President and member Tesa Fiddler to defend designated affinity spaces for First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples within the OFL.
#CatholicTeachers member Mary-Ellen Kavanaugh spoke in support of all-gender changerooms and restrooms, which support gender-diverse individuals, parents, people with disabilities and their caregivers, and all who need safe, inclusive public spaces. #OFL2025
1st time at the #OFL2025 mic! 🎤 ✨
#CatholicTeachers applaud Allison Parsons for highlighting the importance of OFL's Anti-Racism Conference and other dedicated affinity events in #OnLab. These gatherings are critical in ensuring all workers get the union support they deserve.
“The work is hard. The timeline is long. But the future is worth it."
Words of inspiration and motivation from community leader and organizer Latoia Jones, a keynote speaker who's message resonates with #CatholicTeachers and #OFL2025 delegates fighting for the rights of #OnLab!
If governments don't collaborate with workers to set the rules on AI, corporations will — and workers will pay the price.
#CatholicTeachers applaud member Donnub Jafarzadeh for speaking on the dangers of AI at the #OFL2025 mic. The future of work must include workers!
Gender-affirming care saves lives!
On Trans Day of Awareness, member Alex McDonald was backed by #CatholicTeachers, urging #OFL2025 to defend access to gender-affirming care, enshrining it as a right in policy, and push back against government restrictions harming trans youth.
#CatholicTeachers at #OFL2025 heard member Jason Haraschuk speak powerfully about the impact on teachers when mental health and invisible disabilities are ignored.
His message was clear: solidarity across #OnLab matters — and this issue can only be solved together!
Injured, ill, and killed.
#OFL2025 hosted a workers' health and safety forum, w/speakers from the childcare sector, labour lawyers, and family who've had loved ones killed on the job. Everyone deserves to have a safe workplace and have access to the supports they need to heal.
Both inside and outside of the convention hall, #CatholicTeachers had a successful 3rd day at #OFL2025. More action towards better working conditions for #OnLab continues tomorrow!
#CatholicTeachers took to the #OFL2025 mic to proudly announce a $5,000 contribution to the OFL Strike Appeals Fund, a financial initiative that supports #OnLab bargaining units involved in a strike or lock-out.
We are stronger, together!
Day 3 of #OFL2025 is off to an amazing start, with OECTA Councillor Melissa Garrett speaking in support of a resolution declaring gender-based violence and intimate partner violence an epidemic. #CatholicTeachers #OnLab
#CatholicTeachers were happy to have #OntEd critic Chandra Pasma join last night's OECTA #OFL2025 social. Advocating for Ontario students and publicly funded education is critical, and we are glad to see the Ontario NDP championing that fight at Queen's Park.
Councillor Erin van Moorsel backed a motion uniting educators, #OnLab, families, and community allies for coordinated days of action. #OntEd is under attack, and province-wide organizing is key to achieving change!
Day 2 of #OFL2025 has come to an end – until tomorrow!
A well deserved congratulations to Dufferin-Peel Secondary President Jennifer Pouw, who has won an OFL Labour Council Builder Award for her work on the Peel Region Labour Council!
#CatholicTeachers know the importance of solidarity across all of #OnLab! #OFL2025
#CatholicTeachers congratulate OFL President Laura Walton and Secretary-Treasurer Ahmad Gaied for their reelections, and Mike Hamilton on being elected as Executive Vice-President!

2 strong #OFL2025 speakers, 1 message: a better future for #OnLab workers.
