Teachers' Summer Info

Teachers' Unit Executive Summer Hours

Please be aware that the Teachers' Unit Executive Officers do not have regular summer hours. The best way to reach us, if necessary, is via email. The email addresses for the three time-release officers are available on the left column of the district21.ca website. If there is a serious emergency that threatens your employment, please contact the provincial office at 1-800-267-7867 and ask to speak to the Duty Officer.
