Happy Thanksgiving!!

As we head into the much-needed Thanksgiving long weekend, it would be an appropriate time to say thanks to all those who joined us for our Welcome Back Wine & Cheese on Wednesday afternoon! A great time was had by all and the food donations were much appreciated - they were delivered yesterday to the Salvation Army.

Just a reminder that the fall Pregnancy and Parental leave workshop has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 18th at the Durham Local office and, as always, the registration list is filling up quickly. See the flyer on your ETFO bulletin board for more information. Another workshop will be held next spring.

Of course, this workshop isn't the only way to access information about pregnancy, parental and adoptive leave. Check out our local website at http://www.durhametfo.ca/docs-etfo.html (or click on the title of today's post) to access a copy of the local pregnancy/parental leave guidebook - it can be found under "Documents". Also, the Professional Relations Services department (PRS) at ETFO has just created a pregnancy and parental leave webcast. This can be found at the ETFO website: http://www.etfo.ca/. As always, you are encouraged to call if you have any questions about an upcoming pregnancy or parental leave. It can be a confusing process and we are here to help guide you through this.

On behalf of all of us at the ETFO Durham Local office, we wish you a fun and relaxing long weekend... Gobble, gobble!!
