鈥淭he experience was enriching to say the least,鈥 said Victoria. 鈥 I wasn't aware of the effort that is put into changing and altering policies to better the work environment for public educators. Noticing the commitment that was put forward from all of the members at the conference really put the need for educators to come together to fight for issues聽that matter into perspective for me. I have never experienced a democratic process of that scale before, and it was an honour to participate in the meetings.鈥
Over 500 delegates from across the province attended OSSTF/FEESO鈥檚 AMPA 2017 to pass motions, vote on policies, and adopt the OSSTF/FEESO budget.
