Political Action

ETFO is engaged in political action at a number of different levels and through a variety of issues. 

The Federation lobbies the provincial and federal governments on issues of direct interest to its members, including those related to equity, social justice, and democratic reform.  Recent examples of campaigns that ETFO supports include the promotion of a national child care strategy and the push for proportional representation in our provincial and federal electoral systems. 

ETFO attends the conventions of the three main provincial political parties and encourages members to participate by providing a subsidy for those who attend political conventions as delegates. 

ETFO members interested in political action at any level can subscribe to a political action listserv provided by the federation or complete a voluntary, on-line questionnaire.
