Floyd's death proved systemic racism is wrong. Time for change,we must not be silent: (a)speak up about racist actions and/or comments (b)include black + people of colour in all aspects of the curriculum (c) see ETFO's resource: 365 Black Canadian Curriculum. #ActAgainstRacism

#ETFOAM2020 @Sflecce My grandchildren, colleagues,friends need to return to a safe and secure environment where teaching and learning is beneficial. So rethink your plan: reduce class size to allow for 2-metre physical distancing. Act fast, act NOW! #SafeSeptember #onted

To my hardworking, strong, remarkable and phenomenal sisters: Today as we celebrate Intnl Women's Day, let us reflect on our achievements and how far we have come; and as we continue on our journey, let's remember that "we rise by lifting others." Peace and Love, Ladies!

As educators it is our duty to heed Mandela's call to “create a better world for all to live in;" a world devoid of fear and injustice; a world more accepting and more inclusive. So let's take action, and vow to continue to inspire change! More power to great collective efforts.

Every day, on every continent, let us continue to advocate for the rights of our students, and the dignity of our profession.
