Donation to Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal

A letter from District 27 President Linda Yan states, in part:
"The retired teachers in the Ottawa, District 27, are very preoccupied with the war that is happening in Ukraine. We feel not only for those who have lost their lives in this war but also for those who have lost their homes and have been forced into exile."
Join the ELEVATION! Donate to the LIFT campaign
Many District 27 members will be familiar with the work of EFO (Education Foundation of Ottawa) and its focus on removing obstacles for vulnerable students. Over the years, teachers have been instrumental in the success of Toonie Tuesdays and other fundraising initiatives.
Last year EFO responded to the needs of students in crisis by providing tools for learning, grocery gift cards and awarded bursaries and grants to promote learning. With the continued effects of Covid-19, the need is greater than ever.
