OSSTF DISTRICT 7 BLUEWATER
OSSTF District 7 Bluewater represents over 1,000 employees of the Bluewater District School Board in the counties of Bruce and Grey with five Bargaining Units led by a District Council.
We are committed to protecting and enhancing public education. A strong public education system is necessary for a diverse, open, and prosperous society. Without highly capable, dedicated teachers and educational workers, student success is jeopardized and without positive learning and working conditions, educational progress is undermined.
All our efforts to protect and enhance public education are founded on the value of public education and the principles required to sustain it.
