The PSTA Executive met December 7th and discussed returning to in-person Executive and Representative Assembly meetings. Unfortunately, the STF is not yet allowing outside organizations to meet in Eamer Hall and there are no spaces available to safely accommodate a Representative Meeting with 80 people so we will continue to meet online and reevaluate again before the March 15th Representative Assembly.
COVID
International Travel
There are additional changes to entry, testing, and quarantine requirements for all travelers, including Canadian citizens, regardless of their vaccination status entering Canada in response to the Omicron variant. Check the Government of Canada Border Measures document or check with the STF before travelling internationally.
Accessing Quarantine Days
Did you know you don’t need to use your sick days when you have been instructed self-isolate? Article 12.2 of Provincial Collective Bargaining Agreement entitles a teacher quarantined by order of a medical health officer up to 20 days paid leave for quarantine per academic year.
To access quarantine leave days, submit your leave request in Atrieve as sick days and email Jon Yellowlees with the date public health mandated you to self-isolate, the days you will be required to self-isolate and if possible the name of the person you spoke to at public health so the dates can be re-coded as quarantine days.
