District General Meeting (DGM)
Per the OSSTF Toronto Constitution, a District General Meeting (DGM) will be held each year to approve the District Budget. According to the District Constitution, this meeting occurs each October. At this meeting, our Standing Rules of Order will be presented, along with the proposed District Budget, and motions to endorse candidates (if necessary) standing for OSSTF/FEESO Provincial Office at AMPA 2025. Having a District Budget in place is the first and necessary step to having Bargaining Unit Budgets in place. The date for the 2024-25 DGM will be held in person on Thursday October 17, 2024 at our District Office (1482 Bathurst St. – 4th floor), with a call to order at 4:45 pm.
Registration will take place at the registration desk at the time of the meeting. No pre-registration is necessary.
Please note that each Bargaining Unit is allocated a specific number of delegates as per their FTE percentage of the District Membership. As such, registration as a voting delegate is on a first come, first serve basis. Those that have registered after exceeding our allotment of delegates may still attend the meeting as an observer.
District Annual General Meeting (DAGM)
The District Annual General Meeting (DAGM) is usually held in June of each year. This is the only meeting at which amendments to the OSSTF Toronto (District) Constitution can be made. The date for the DAGM will be Wednesday June 11 , 2025 at the Latvian Centre, 4 Credit Union Road, North York (near OSSTF Provincial Office). The call to order is tentatively set for 6 pm.
Per Bylaw 14.1, the deadline for submission of on-time motions to amend the OSSTF Toronto District Constitution is 20 (twenty) days in advance of the meeting. Therefore the deadline for motions is Thursday May 22, 2025 at 4:30 PM. Any motions with an associated cost must be accompanied by a reasonable cost estimate, as per Bylaw 13.3.1. Motions are to be sent to Betty-Ann Samaroo at (basamaroo@osstftoronto.ca).
