Welcome to the Ottawa Carleton Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (OCETFO)

We support approximately 3,500 elementary school teachers (K to Gr. 8) working in the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB).

We are an equity-based union organization dedicated to providing fair, consistent, and transparent support to our members. OCETFO/FEEO regularly shares resources and offers professional development opportunities to add value to members’ professional journeys and to ensure everyone has the flexibility to grow together with colleagues as well as to learn at their own pace.

It is important that our members can connect with and support one another as well. We are proud to have a number of standing committees that work directly with equity-seeking groups, in addition to grade and subject professional learning committees. The participation of new members is always welcome.

OCETFO is happy to support members with:

  • health & wellness related concerns
  • workplace health & safety
  • parent/teacher conflicts
  • unsatisfactory TPA evaluation
  • discipline
  • contact from 3rd party (CAS, police)

Education is the foundation of society.

That’s why OCETFO champions the cause of excellence in education, promoting the highest standards of professional ethics and working to make sure schools are healthy and safe for children and teachers alike.

Please contact us so we can provide the caring and compassionate advice and support you deserve.
