James was a remarkable person who always put the needs of others first and did so much good in the world - I am so thankful for all the friendship and guidance over the years. You will be missed so much Jim.🙏 @TECT951 @OECTAProv
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.🙏🏽

Rules for thee not for me?
Quick question @PaulCalandra …I thought graduations were to be apolitical events. Why is @RudyCuzzetto dropping off boxes of unsolicited, politically branded grad certificates? #onted #onpoli @TinaYazdani @MaritStiles

"Hidden victories that never make headlines." Those words resonated deeply with us. At Stronger Together Hockey, we see those victories every day as young people build confidence, connection, and community. #StrongerTogetherHockey #YouthEmpowerment

Surprising that students/staff don't walk out to protest the unbearable heat in classrooms. Why are students and staff made to endure classrooms at 30Cel ? @TECT951 @tsuOECTA @OECTAProv @ETFOeducators @CUPEOntario @CP24 @TinaYazdani
