OTF is very proud of its charitable initiatives that help others achieve their goals.
Several years ago, the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF) made the decision to choose annually an organization or charity to support in lieu of mailing festive cards.
The charity of choice for the 2024/2025 year is Indspire.
Indspire is an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada.
