OSSTF Provincial Awards

OSSTF has a variety of awards of recognition at the provincial level.  Some are provincial awards, others are district awards conferred by the Provincial Executive at the recommendation of local leaders.  There are two district awards that the Teachers'/Occasional Teachers' Bargaining Unit Council asks the Provincial Executive to confer on District 15 members almost every year: Awards of Merit and Honorary Memberships.

Award of Merit

An Award of Merit may be conferred by the Provincial Executive upon a member, who, in the opinion of a District Executive or the Provincial Executive, has rendered meritorious and outstanding service to the OSSTF/FEESO at the provincial, district and/or bargaining unit level. The District Executive shall make application to the Provincial Executive using concrete examples to support the nomination. A District motion of endorsement of the nominee must accompany the application.

Honorary Members shall include members who have retired after having performed outstanding service and commitment to OSSTF/FEESO and on whom Honorary Membership has been conferred by the Provincial Executive on the recommendation of a District.
