The agreements cover the period from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2026.
"I am pleased that we have reached agreements and have ratified local terms with these employee groups," said UGDSB Chair of the Board, Ralf Mesenbrink. "We look forward to seeing tentative local agreements with our remaining employee groups in the very near future, completing this round of negotiations."
"We are deeply committed to fostering strong, collaborative relationships with our valued staff across all unions. By working together, we ensure that every decision we make puts our students at the centre of everything we do," said UGDSB Director of Education, Peter Sovran.
