Welcome to ETFO

Welcome to ETFO is a booklet for all new members who have recently joined ETFO. This resource was developed to provide you with helpful information as you begin your teaching career. It outlines the work of our organization as well as the services available to you.

The TELUS Health EAP provides confidential consultation and counselling, as well as wellness information/resources on a range of work and family matters (life, family, money, work, health).

Employees and their dependents have access to this no-cost, confidential service. For more information, access the EAP Information Brochure (PDF, 2 MB).
