Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation President

Sign up for www.tellthemtuesday.com to support students and teachers.
I was honoured to be asked to join Manitoba Federation of Labour’s Empowering Workers Biannual Conference for a panel conversation. It was a great opportunity to share about the experiences of Saskatchewan Teachers’ last round of collective bargaining and to learn from the other panelists.

Last week, STF Executive and staff hosted a MLA reception at the SK Legislature. We discussed the current realities of SK teachers with MLAs from govt and opposition.
I also had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Education, visit the office of the speaker, and attend question period.

Attended the CTF/FCE Board meeting with Angela Banda, STF Exec Director, this week. At these meetings we discussed issues in public Ed, such as recruitment and retention, violence, and class complexity. Each context is unique, but we have much to learn from each other. Solidarity is our strength!

Walked the line to support striking postal workers in Saskatoon. I encourage everyone to visit a picket location, speak with a postal worker to learn more and add your voice to their calls. Together we can protect workers' rights and our public services.

It is fuel good day at Co-op locations across Sask, so be sure to fill up those tanks... and also send a letter to your MLA to remind them that they could just properly fund education so that schools wouldn't have to rely on fundraisers and business donations.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate music education. Thanks Sask Music Educators’ Association for inviting me to join you in Wascana Park. During the event, government and business representatives shared the value and importance of music education and their own personal connections to music.

I know that #educationworks to help children achieve their dreams, but schools and classrooms need more support and resources to address the growing populations and diverse challenges, and that starts with investing in Public Education.

Happy first day of school!

Like parents, teachers have high hopes for their students' success. While the addition of 500 class complexity teachers is a step forward, it's just a start. The Sk Govt would need to invest another $385M this school year to restore funding to 2015/16 levels.

Hi! I’m excited to join the conversation here and share updates on public education in SK! As the STF President since 2022, and as a mom of two, I care deeply about public ed. Prior to 2022, I taught high school math, and saw the impacts of increasing class complexity and chronic underfunding.
