Priorities for Algoma ETFO
To serve the needs of the Algoma membership by:
• improving and securing the terms and conditions of employment
by collective bargaining
• promoting the status and integrity of the Algoma District Teachers
• encouraging members' involvement in and understanding of
Union activities
• promoting and strengthening the role of the steward in the Local
• educating members on the importance of health and safety
Welcome to the Algoma District Elementary Teachers' Website
We are a Local of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario and we comprise approximately 450 members from the areas of Central Algoma, Chapleau, Hornepayne, North Shore, Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa in 42 worksites. Our local executive meets monthly to conduct the business of the Union. We encourage Algoma members to participate in the work of standing committees who report to the executive monthly. Each worksite elects a steward to act as a liaison between the executive of ADETFO, Provincial Office and the members of each site. Steward meetings are held as required by the local.
