As you may already be aware, once again, if a deal is not reached at the bargaining table, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) will be on a one-day strike Wednesday December 18. As OSSTF represents a large number of education workers, this means that public elementary and secondary schools cannot operate if a strike were to happen. All public schools will be closed, and this means that our Ryerson child care centre cannot operate on December 18. We will be unable to run any of our child care programs on that day, and regular services would resume the following day, December 19. We will be monitoring the situation and providing any updates as we receive them. We understand that this job action, should it happen, will cause scheduling conflicts for many of you. We ask for your patience and understanding at this time.
