With deep sadness, we announce the passing of James Ryan, a tireless advocate for equity, social justice & Catholic education. James, former OECTA president, TECT Executive member & dedicated teacher with the TCDSB, positively impacted countless lives. His legacy will live on.🙏🏽

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Inclusion is essential. Teachers raise awareness among our students each and every day about barriers faced by those differently abled and foster an understanding of both visible and invisible disabilities.
