Thousands of educators from across the province are expected to gather at Queen’s Park this afternoon to protest the planned elimination of more than 3,000 teaching jobs over the next four years and call on the province to boost funding for education.
The province has indicated that it intends to cut 3,475 full-time equivalent teaching positions through attrition, starting with 1,558 positions this fall.
Today’s rally, which gets underway at 12 p.m., was jointly organized by five unions that represent public school teachers in the province.
