October 5 is World Teachers' Day (WTD) - a global celebration of the teaching profession. Since its inauguration in 1994, WTD has highlighted the vital contributions of teachers and the immense value they bring to our lives.
This year, the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF/FCE) is excited to share details about WTD under our theme "Making Lives Better." Teachers' influence extends far beyond the classroom they support students, strengthen families, and enrich our communities. On October 5, we honour the educators who show up every day with care, courage, and creativity, leaving a profoundly positive impact on society.
To celebrate World Teachers' Day, we invite you to express your appreciation for teachers by answering the question: "How has a teacher made your life better?"
Whether through a video or written testimonial, we want to hear your stories!
Submission Instructions
In advance of October 5, we invite you to share your uplifting messages by either:
- Submitting through the Dropbox for a chance to be featured in our video montage. Deadline is September 23.
- Sharing directly on social media using the hashtag #BecauseOfATeacher and tagging the CTF/FCE.
Your submissions will contribute to a special World Teachers' Day tribute that we'll share on our social media channels.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating and uplifting teachers!
