Professional Responsibility

If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information.

“Return to the Falls” is a 1 Hour DocuDrama following the harrowing life story of Elder Betty Ross who held
the sacred teachings of her father like a torch helping her survive the residential school system. This movie
forges its own path as a hybrid of dramatic, cinematic reenactments of Betty’s childhood journey of
unimaginable hardships and euphoric moments of freedom combined with present day footage of Betty as
she returns to the falls for the first time in more than 70 years. This riveting and educational film was
created to reach audiences from Grade 5 - 12. Along with the film we will share some of the Teachers
Guide information to show how this new film is a must to help tell the story of our nations past. ***This
educational film is not graphic in any way and focuses more on how Betty's journey of light, forgiveness and
reconciliation can be embraced by all.
