SUMMARY:CTF/FCE 2026 Cross-Canada Tour
DESCRIPTION:\nCross-Canada TourFebruary – November 2026\n\n\n\nFrom February to November 2026, the CTF/FCE’s interactive exhibit booth will travel to 13 Annual Meetings hosted by our Member Organizations across Canada.\n\n\n\nVisit our booth to connect with a CTF/FCE staff member, learn about our national priorities, explore our latest advocacy initiatives, and share your perspectives with us directly. Your voice helps shape our work.\n\n\n\nIn unison, CTF/FCE President Clint Johnston or a Vice-President will also attend these meetings to present our national work, strengthen relationships, and connect with educators to ensure that the realities and priorities identified on the ground inform our advocacy at the federal level.\n\n\n\nThis tour is about more than sharing updates. It’s about listening, building alignment across the Federation, and ensuring educators’ voices are represented clearly and effectively in the national conversation.\n\n\n\n\nRelated Resources ( #related-resources )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTour Stops\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDATES MEMBER ORGANIZATIONLOCATION February 21–22, 2026 AEFO – AGA Toronto, ON March 13–16, 2026 OSSTF/FEESO – AMPA Toronto, ON March 14–17, 2026 BCTF – AGM Vancouver, BC March 14–16, 2026 OECTA – AGM Toronto, ON April 22–25, 2026 STF – ACM Saskatoon, SK April 24, 2026 ÉFM – AGA Winnipeg, MB May 1–3, 2026 NSTU – ACM Halifax, NS May 16–18, 2026 ATA – ARA Calgary, AB May 21–23, 2026 MTS – AGM Winnipeg, MB May 22–23, 2026 NBTA – AGM Fredericton, NB August 17–20, 2026 ETFO – AGM Toronto, ON October 15–16, 2026 QPAT – Convention Montreal, QC November 5–6, 2026 PEITF – Convention Charlottetown, PE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Resources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot able to see us on tour?
