Share Your Resources With A Colleague

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep members informed and abreast of current issues the latest installment of the eceLINK publication features important information on unionization. The AECEO feels strongly that we have a responsibility to make this information available to the sector as a whole. That is why the latest issue of our publication will be posted on the main page of our website for sharing purposes.

It is our hope this information will incite discussion and thought among professionals in the sector especially those preparing or contemplating careers in school boards.

Early Learning Partnerships - Summer Sessions

The AECEO Provincial Office, with funding from Ontario Trillium Foundation, will be holding three professional development events across Ontario from August 11-24.

As the province embarks on Full Day Early Learning, these sessions will provide an opportunity to develop leadership skills and capacity building for early learning educators.

Summer eceLINK Now Available

The eceLINK (Summer 2010) is now available on our member's only website*. This publication includes a very timely and informative feature section on Unionization and Early Childhood Educators. We urge all of our members to not only read and learn about this highly important topic themselves but to also forward the information to fellow RECEs. RECEs need to be informed and provided with accurate information.
