Welcome to the Vernon Teachers' Association!

Guided by the principles of compassion, connections, communication, and a commitment to better working conditions, your union aims to be a beacon of support and growth for our members in Vernon, Lavington, Coldstream, Lumby, and Cherryville (within School District #22). We envision a union where every member is highly valued, their voices heard, and their needs addressed, fostering an inclusive environment. Through clear and effective communication, we aim to build strong connections among our members, creating a sense of belonging and unity. We strive to help create the conditions where our members experience personal and professional success while improving their working conditions. We aim for an environment where creativity thrives, members receive unwavering support, and experience both peace of mind and achievement, leading to increased prosperity for all. Together, guided by these principles, we strive to create a union that not only supports but also inspires positive change, contributing to the advancement and betterment of our members’ working conditions.
