Check the OT Mailboxes! (April-May)
Check the OT Mailboxes! (April-May)
Sometime this week, your worksites will receive mail to place in the OT mailbox. The OT mailbox should be accessible to all OTBU members, including Daily OTs and LTOs, whether you are a familiar face or if it's your first assignment at that school.
The first 20 OTBU members to take out the 2026 AGM poster from the envelope inside your school's OT mailbox and post it in the staffroom's OSSTF bulletin board will be sent a new #RedforEd T-shirt! Please send a photo after you have put up the poster and fill out this form to receive a prize. Other participation prizes may be available. Details are in the linked Google Form.
There will also be "Underfunded & Over It" stickers included inside the envelope. These should remain in the mailbox to share with any of our members. Please take one!

OCT Membership Renewal
This is a reminder that all daily OTs are responsible for making a payment to OCT in order to keep their membership in good standing.
OCDSB will automatically deduct the OCT renewal fees from active LTOs depending on the time period of your LTO assignment. If you are unsure, please consult with your admin.
