Welcome to the 2025 CTF/FCE Annual General Meeting (AGM)! 

This summer, from July 9^th to July 11^th, we are delighted to welcome you back to Ottawa, our vibrant nation’s capital, where the Gatineau, Rideau and Ottawa rivers meet. This area has been a natural gathering place for Indigenous peoples for thousands of years.

Our country is vast, and our identities are diverse, but much like the root system of a great forest, our values are deeply interconnected. One of these core values is our understanding that a quality, inclusive publicly funded education system is foundational to our democracy.

Public education is at a critical juncture. Together with our Member and Associate Organizations, the CTF/FCE is working diligently to transform research into advocacy and insight into action. This effort is supported not only through our national campaigns but also through the strength of our networks, the expertise of our standing committees, and the reach of our International cooperation and Francophonie programs.  

After two inspiring years as CTF/FCE President, I am truly excited to connect with all of you. Together, we will celebrate our profession and seek real solutions to the critical issues facing teachers and education workers across the country. Collectively, we have the knowledge and wherewithal to make tremendous and lasting change. 

Together, we win!

In solidarity, 

Heidi Yetman 
President
