ETFO Lifts Ban on Extracurriculars


The union representing Ontario's public elementary school teachers has joined the high school teachers' union in lifting a ban on voluntary or extracurricular activities.

Sam Hammond, the president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, announced late last night that he's lifting the ban in light of progress in ongoing labour talks with the government.

Premier Kathleen Wynne hopes teachers and support staff will return quickly to running after school activities and programs.
