Hello everyone,

I am a single mother in Ontario, and my daughter has a liver disease. She is followed regularly at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and she recently had a biopsy. For several months now, she has been going through frequent blood tests, medical exams, and specialist appointments.

Since I am the only one taking care of her, I often have to miss work to bring her to the hospital and stay home with her when she is unable to attend school.

I wanted to know if any parents here have successfully obtained the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) for a child with a chronic liver condition or significant medical needs.

Can frequent medical follow-ups and restrictions qualify?

Are there other financial support programs in Ontario or Canada for caregiving parents?

Thank you so much for your help and for sharing your experiences. 🙏

Hi everyone,

I recently obtained an LTO position, but I didn’t realize that the school starts at 8:15 a.m., while my children’s bus arrives at 8:45 a.m. Yesterday was my first day, and it was difficult because my children don’t have childcare.

Could you please let me know if I’m allowed to apply for another LTO? Am I allowed to apply to a school that starts at 9:10 a.m.?

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,

I am a new teacher currently working in an LTO position in FSL. I will be starting a Master’s degree in September with a concentration in Leadership.

I understand that this degree can lead to administrative roles (such as principal positions) within French-language school boards, where I am currently working. However, I am particularly interested in opportunities within English-language school boards.

Are there leadership positions in FSL within English boards? If so, what do these roles typically look like?

Also, is the salary for these positions similar to a teacher’s salary, or is there a difference?

Please note that I am primarily a French speaker and have an intermediate level of English.

Thank you very much for your guidance.
