About this event

The BCTF Summer Leadership Conference aims to develop local leadership while focusing on BCTF priorities. The 2024–25 leadership priorities as established by the 2024 AGM are:

  • Provide opportunities so a diversity of members including early career teachers can connect and engage in advocacy, professional development, and collective action.
  • Fight for a bargaining structure that represents locals and advances members’ needs.
  • Directly pressure government to solve the teacher shortage.
  • Fight for working and learning conditions in which teachers’ workload issues and students’ social, emotional, and academic needs can be met.
  • Work within the Federation and collaborate with education partners, other unions, and the broader community to advance justice, truth and reconciliation, anti-racism, and anti-oppression in the face of environmental, social, and political forces.
  • Advancing the role of public education and the union as a catalyst for change in the climate emergency.
