The Near North District School Board (NNDSB) and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Near North Teacher Local (NNTL) representing elementary teachers, have ratified a four-year local collective agreement covering the period from Sept. 1, 2022 to Aug. 31, 2026.

No details were released.

"We are pleased that our members have ratified a local four-year agreement with Near North District School Board that reflects our commitment to providing high-quality education while ensuring fair and improved working conditions for our dedicated members,” said NNTL President Rob Hammond. “We wish to thank our members for their unwavering support throughout this process and our negotiating team, who worked diligently on behalf of our members to secure a fair agreement."

Previously at the provincial table, a central agreement was ratified between ETFO T/OT and the Government of Ontario / Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) on Dec. 19, 2023.

“Having the agreement ratified means that elementary teachers can continue the valuable work they do with our youngest learners," said NNDSB Chair Ashley St. Pierre.
