Our Work
BLTA Governance
The BLTA Executive oversees the ongoing work of our Association. Chaired by President Mary Chalmers, the Executive meets monthly, usually at Roseau Valley School. Executive members are elected to their positions and serve one-year terms.
The BLTA Council is the ultimate decision-making body for the Association. The Council meets four times per year and consists of representatives from each Border Land school.
Association Documents
BLTA operates under the BLTA Constitution (2019). Accompanied by the BLTA By-Laws and BLTA Policy documents, the BLTA Constitution sets out the objects, relationships, and structure of our Association.
Collective Agreement
The primary purpose of the Border Land Teachers’ Association is to negotiate a collective agreement with the Border Land School Division. The current collective agreement expired in June 2018 so we’re currently in negotiations with the Division. The current collective agreement is in force until both parties have passed its replacement.
