Strike action planned for Feb. 27 by members of the Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens (AEFO) has been cancelled.
The union represents teaching staff, short- and long-term supply teachers in all Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon and Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario schools, as well as the learning consultants.
The districts of Sudbury, Manitoulin and Algoma were among the targeted areas.
As a result, all French Catholic and public schools will be open to all elementary and secondary students.
However, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), which represents support staff in all Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon schools and at the board office, will still conduct a one-day full strike and withdraw all services in the Sudbury and Manitoulin Districts on Friday, Feb. 28.
Due to the impact of the strikes on the smooth operation of schools, including the safety and well-being of all students, Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon’ schools in the Sudbury and Manitoulin Districts will be closed to all elementary and secondary students on Feb. 28. The Centre des petits program offered within these establishments will also be suspended for the time being. Daycare services as well as before-and-after school programs will operate normally.
Friday's rotating strike by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) also impact high schools with the Rainbow District School Board.
OSSTF represents high school teachers at the Rainbow board and certain education workers with the two French boards.
