Notice is hereby given that an election will be held from Monday, March 5 to Tuesday, April 10, 2012 to elect 23 representatives to the College Council, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 293/00 made under the Ontario College of Teachers Act.

You’ll be presented with all positions for which you are eligible to vote – with your own region first.
