ETFO calls for action to dismantle systemic barriers facing Black educators and students

Toronto, ON – As Black History Month begins, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) celebrates the many achievements and lasting contributions of Black Canadians. Black history is woven into the fabric of Canadian history—past, present, and future. The accomplishments, strength, and excellence of Black individuals and communities deserve recognition this month, as well as celebration, respect, and reflection every day of the year.
