Teachers' Union Contracts, Ontario Hubs & The Agenda's Week

The collective agreements for teachers in Ontario expired at the start of the school year. The teachers' unions and ministry representatives have been at the bargaining table to reach consensus. But, with no agreement reached, the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario will begin work-to-rule action next week. ETFO president Sam Hammond talks to Steve Paikin about what's at stake. Ian McCallum, an Indigenous language educator and Shelby Lisk, our Ontario Hubs reporter on Indigenous issues, have both embarked on learning the languages of their family ancestry. For McCallum that's Lunaape, and he's one of only a handful of people who understand it. For Lisk, it's Mohawk. They talk to Jeyan Jeganathan about their journeys to unlock their culture and history through language and why it's important for Indigenous languages to re-emerge and be preserved.
