Equity Advisory Work Group Vacancies (2023-2024)

The Provincial Executive is seeking to fill four vacancies on the Equity Advisory Work Group (EAWG) for the 2023-2024 Federation year. The EAWG is a permanent advisory body to the Provincial Executive.

The role of the EAWG is to advise the Provincial Executive on any matters related to inclusion and equity within the Federation and any other matters that may be referred to it by the Provincial Executive.

Members of the EAWG can serve concurrently on other OSSTF/FEESO Provincial Standing Committees, Councils and Work Groups.

Members selected to be part of the work group must be able to secure release time from their employer (paid for by OSSTF/FEESO). The work group of ten members, typically meets three to four times a year. Provincial Office will cover costs to attend all meetings, including time release, transportation, accommodation, and meals, as per the Federation Activity Allowable Expenditure Guidelines.

Any active member in good standing with OSSTF/FEESO interested in applying to the EAWG needs to complete and submit a brief statement of interest, video, or other document(s) outlining their experience, expertise and interest working towards building inclusive and equitable working/learning environments, as well as any other information that they would like the Provincial Executive to consider.

The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) is dedicated to equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression while protecting and enhancing public education.

OSSTF/FEESO values the participation of members with various lived experiences. We actively seek and welcome applications from members of First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and equity-seeking groups.
