Chair & Vice-chairCouncil chooses Chair, Vice-chairDon Cattani and Annilee Jarvis were selected by their peers to serve as Chair and Vice-chair respectively of the fourth Ontario College of Teachers Council. Cattani, an occasional teacher with the Thunder Bay Catholic DSB, and Jarvis, a Special Education resource teacher with the York Region DSB, received first ballot support to assume the roles. “I strongly believe the time is right to reach out to our partners in education and to establish strong relationships based on the principle of mutual respect of mandate,” Cattani said. “I believe that my federation experience will provide credibility in the eyes of our members who, in large measure, also belong to federations and may presently see the College as an entity to be wary of. We must continue to seek consensus wherever possible with our partners and to ask of them the same regard.” Jarvis says she is excited and honoured to be elected Vice-chair and will work to support the Chair and Council. |
