L’UCFO appuie la création d’une université francophone en Ontario L’Union culturelle des Franco-Ontariennes (l’UCFO) a tenu à souligner son appui à la création d’une nouvelle université de langue française en Ontario. L’UCFO croit qu’une université francophone en Ontario est une nécessité pour le plein développement et l’épanouissement de la communauté fran- cophone de la province, en plus de contribuer à l’avancement de l’ensemble de la société ontarienne. Par le fait même, l’UCFO a souligné qu’elle appuyait la demande faite à la première ministre de l’Ontario, le 10 février dernier, soit de nommer un conseil des gouverneurs transitoire pour assurer la mise sur pied d’une université d’ici 2018. Cette demande constitue l’une des principales recomman- dations découlant des États généraux sur le postsecondaire en Ontario français, une consultation qui a été tenue dans plusieurs régions de la province, depuis 2013. L’UCFO croit qu’avec un engagement soutenu du gouvernement provincial, la communauté franco-ontarienne parviendra à franchir les prochaines étapes pour la mise en œuvre de ce projet qui, selon elle, forgera un avenir meilleur pour l’Ontario français. L’Union culturelle des Franco-Ontariennes est un organisme provincial qui œuvre depuis 1936 à l’avancement de la situation de la femme francophone en Ontario. School district and union ready to settle The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) have a tentative deal ready for review and possible signing. If approved, the new contract will finish negotiations for the past year between the two sides. Terms of the new contract remain confidential until both the OSSTF members for the Upper Canada district and the UCDSB board of trustees have ratified the document. Contract negotiations continue between the UCDSB and the unions representing elementary school teachers, occasional teachers, and support staff. – Gregg Chamberlain
