Welcome to OSSTF/FEESO

We play a leading role in defending equitable access to high quality education in Canada and around the world. Simply put, we are committed to protecting and enhancing public education.

Under Related Attachments below, you will find a Welcome Letter from provincial OSSTF/FEESO President Harvey Bischof. As a teacher candidate in an English-language Intermediate/Senior or Technological Education program at an Ontario faculty of education, you are an Associate Member of OSSTF/FEESO and this entitles you to information such as that which you will find in this section of the provincial website. This information has been put together as a sort of “OSSTF/FEESO 101 for Teacher Candidates”. You will find a wealth of information here about what it means to be a member of OSSTF/FEESO and about the services that we provide for members. You also have access to the electronic versions of our monthly newsletter, Update, and our magazine, Education Forum, which is published in late October, February and May. You may subscribe to the digital versions of these two publications for free by going to our “Go Green” section, clicking on “Non-members” and filling in the form there.

Feel free to explore this section of the website as well as the rest of the provincial website.
