Resolve the teachers' dispute and get our students back in the classroom.

The Issue

We are asking mothers, fathers, and other family members or caregivers of BC public school children to sign our petition to send a strong message to the BC Liberal Government and the BCTF to end the teachers' dispute.  

This petition gives a voice to BC parents to end the dispute and ensure our children begin the school year by September 2nd.  By this date, our children will have been out of the classroom for approximately 75 days, already a significant disruption to their learning. The uncertainty surrounding the beginning of the school year has raised frustration and anxiety in parents concerned about their children's education, finding reliable childcare, and their own ability to work.  The per-diem promised by the government will not cover the cost of a day of childcare and does not consider the struggle many parents will face finding this care.

Please sign our petition and share the link with others on Facebook and Twitter.
