Welcome back to a new school year! 🍎✏️ To teachers—thank you for your passion, creativity & solidarity. To students—you inspire us every day. Together we build strong, inclusive public schools where all can thrive. 🧡 @bctf.bsky.social

From ERs to factory floors, workers power Canada's economy. But too many of us are struggling. It's time our politicians take real action on housing, jobs, & public services. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/HeADaH2s

The lightning-fast deal reached after CUPE flight attendants courageously defied the back-to-work order proves the point: Air Canada had zero incentive to negotiate seriously while counting on federal intervention to steamroll workers' rights. @cupescfp.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Last day of school! BC teachers showed up every day despite underfunding & rising pressures. Now it’s time to rest. In September, we organize, mobilize & fight for the schools our students deserve. ✊ #bced #bctf #UnionStrong #ProtectPublicEducation

Thank you #bced parents for this important advocacy at the Legislature. Our students, your children, deserve better than the funding levels coming out of #bcpoli that are forcing districts to make cuts. cheknews.ca/our-future-d...

"Even though that funding is going up, it’s not filling all of the needs ... to make sure students get the services they require" cheknews.ca/our-future-d... @bctf.bsky.social

Today we honour the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia, #IDAHOBIT 🌈 Today and every day, #BCTF stands against hate and discrimination toward the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Ending harassment and violence is a collective responsibility-unite against hate ✊🏽

Premier Eby - Invest in BC's Public Schools Now - Sign the Petition! Parents, students, & partners are headed to Victoria to demand a better school system for our kids. chng.it/qbJ9bS2shP #bcpoli #bced #FundBCSchools @eby-david.bsky.social @bctf.bsky.social @cupebc.bsky.social @bcsta.bsky.social

"School doesn't end for people just because they turn 18. There's going to be people who always need access to public education." #BCEd #HireMoreTeachers www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZdO...

"From Revelstoke to Rock Creek to Richmond, and all over BC, TTOCs ensure that students are supported and engaged, often on incredibly short notice." —Clint Johnston, BCTF President. Read the full TTOC Appreciation Week message: www.bctf.ca/news-and-opp...

Many students today are really struggling with anxiety and other mental health challenges. They need more support from #bcpoli. Children and youth deserve access to school counsellors when they need it and where they're at - which is at their own #bced school. youtu.be/F1IZzcCN8RQ?...

Today, we remember the workers who died, were injured or became ill as a result of their job.  Everyone has a right to come home at the end of the day. We will continue to work toward that goal in partnership with workers, the labour movement and employers.

Both Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney have promised a tax cut to the lowest income bracket if they emerge victorious in Canada’s federal election, but are tax cuts really the answer to the affordability crisis? Journalist Renée Sylvestre-Williams explores: thewalrus.ca/tax-cuts-election/

“This is not a budget that has splashy new announcements,” Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said Tuesday. “This is about protecting core services like health care and education.”

Extracurriculars are an essential part of the learning experience. Why are nearly a third of parents in Canada going into debt to pay for them? Join us to learn more at TakingITGlobal presents The Walrus Talks at Home: Public Education and Philanthropy. twthpeandp.eventbrite.ca/?aff...

Fascinating read on the increased banning of books particularly in school libraries. "The new censorship consensus ... the school library is a microcosm of the ideal society, and books are levers of social engineering"

When students are struggling with their mental health, a school counsellor can be a critical resource. Statistics show that people in BC recognize how important it is for all students to have access to one in their school. See what else people want to see in BC schools: bit.ly/3QnLfXl #BCed #BCpoli

A recent poll shows British Columbians are overwhelmingly in support of the promise made by the BC NDP to put an education assistant in every primary classroom. See what else people are saying about BC schools: bit.ly/3QnLfXl

Happy Family Day!

Pretty excited to see my puppies featured in @laurelcollins.bsky.social 2025 calendar!

💵 Un #ProgrammeNationalDAlimentationScolaire permettrait aux familles d'économiser des milliers de $ par année. Le financement est là, au tour des prov. et territoires de jouer! Dites à votre premier·ière ministre et à votre député·e de mettre les fonds féd. à profit! ⬇️ bit.ly/49BBqxH #polcan

💵 Fact: a #NationalSchoolFoodProgram would save families thousands of $$ per school year. The funding is available, now let’s make it a reality in EVERY province and territory! Tell your Premier and MLA/MNA to accept federal funding to put food on the table. ⬇️ bit.ly/3ZNah7V #cdnpoli

The International Decade for People of African Descent carries significant implications for 🇨🇦 education. The theme for #BHM2025, "Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations," highlights the contributions and teachings of people of African descent.

Educating women leads to: ✅ job creation, ✅ higher incomes, and ✅ reduced income inequality. This fosters a more fair and prosperous society for all! #IDW2025 #SDG5
