End-of-year report cards will be bereft of commentary and those extra-curricular activities that could still take place during remote learning won’t be staffed for now in Toronto’s Catholic schools as teachers try to increase pressure on the board to hear their concerns.
The union representing Toronto’s Catholic elementary teachers and the city’s Catholic school board last week broke from what each called extensive negotiations on administrative aspects of a provincial collective agreement reached in April 2020.
“During a pandemic, this would be a very good opportunity for the board to listen to our concerns and try to meet our needs given all of the efforts that teachers have made throughout this year, and it just doesn t seem to be the case,” Julie Altomare-DiNunzio, president of Toronto Elementary Catholic Teachers (TECT), said in an interview.

Pride flag to fly at schools Pride flag to fly at schools By Catholic Register Staff May 13, 2021
The Pride flag will be flying over Ontario Catholic schools in a number of jurisdictions, including Toronto, in the month of June.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board was the latest to choose to fly the flag to commemorate Pride month, which celebrates the LGBT community, at its May 6 meeting.
Other Catholics boards that will fly the flag are Waterloo, Wellington and Thunder Bay. Trustees in the Halton Catholic District School Board chose not to fly the flag.
The Archdiocese of Toronto, in a May 4 reflection on inclusion after numerous inquiries from education partners, acknowledged the passionate feelings on all sides of the issue.
