Get Involved

  • FREE lawn signs from ETFO signal the importance of public education to your community. Get one for yourself and a friend or neighbour (or both)! For pick-up at OC ETFO offices or home delivery.
  • Building Better Schools’ message guide helps you figure out what to say when you’re talking to people about how important it is to vote on the 27th.
Teachers have an almost 90% voting rate, compared to 43% of your provincial counterparts – this means you have an incredible opportunity to teach others about the importance of their civic responsibilities!
  • Print out this fact sheet to leave with people to read over after a conversation. It connects people to valuable information about where our provincial dollars have been going
  • Be a public school ambassador and help build support for what our public schools need
  • Lobby your Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) or Trustee.
  • Donate to parties and candidates that support investments in education. Donations over $25 are eligible for tax benefits; 75% of up to $427/year will be returned to you at tax time (tax receipts are usually sent out around February of the following year).
  • Volunteer for education-friendly candidates by helping with activities like door-to-door canvassing; making phone calls; putting up lawn signs; or distributing campaign information to homes and at public events.
