Tell Doug Ford: stand up for public safety!

September 22, 2022/in Did you know?/by Tracy Cochrane

Public safety is a provincial responsibility, but how safe is Ontario as the premier lets public safety inspectors languish on strike?

We’re proud of the work we do as TSSA inspectors. All we want is a fair contract – it’s what everyone should have as we celebrate Labour Day.

But Doug Ford is making that impossible for us.

If you agree that people deserve respect at work, union standards, and fair treatment – send an email right now to the Premier to get it done! Get it done!

Reflections on a New School Year

September 6, 2022/in OTIP/by Tracy Cochrane

Summer days are getting shorter, and the evenings are getting cooler. Before you know it, you are at the mall for “back to school shopping” for you and your family, and maybe even for the classroom.

As you prepare for the new school year, you may be thinking and finding ways to re-engage, refresh, and re-imagine what the new school year will bring, and how you can best enhance or support the learning experience for students in your community. Fall is also a good time to take stock of your own personal goals including those that support your health, wellness and financial security.

As members of the Ontario education community, you also have access to exclusive contests, promotions and special offers, including Edvantage–your exclusive savings program.
