Early childhood educators hired by the Northwest Catholic District School Board are now represented by Canadian Union of Public Employees.
CUPE and the board reached a deal that sees the educators, hired as part of the full-day early learning program, following the terms of the 2009 provincially-negotiated contract for the board's support staff.
The board currently has one E.C.E. at St. Patrick's School in Atikokan with others added when the early learning program is rolled out to other schools in the future.
