Communications
A strong, active membership is built on an informed membership. ETFO keeps members informed in a number of ways:
- Voice Magazine
Voice is a magazine geared to the classroom teacher. It reflects ETFO’s commitment to member service and member involvement. Columns, articles, and lesson plan inserts written by members and staff provide practical advice to assist teachers in their working lives. Curriculum inserts are drawn from ETFO curriculum resource materials or are provided by teachers with specialist knowledge in subject areas. Voice also explores pedagogical and political issues of interest to members. In addition, Voice aims to provide members with knowledge about the federation and the organizations it belongs to and supports. The column ‘Your Federation’ provides members with news about ETFO and its activities, and highlights member achievements. The magazine is mailed directly to the homes of 76,000 members. It is also distributed to students at faculties of education across the province and is sent to a variety of interested education professionals. Back issues are available on the
www.etfovoice.ca website.
- Steward Mailings
Regular mailings to your ETFO school steward provide you with up-to-date information on education issues, upcoming conferences, and opportunities for involvement. An
archive of previous Steward Mailings is kept on the website in the Publications section.

The ETFO website can be accessed at anytime for up-to-date information on the federation and related educational issues.
