For those who were Teaching Assistants last year:

I have put letters of offer in your mailboxes (coffee room) to continue in the teaching assistant positions you held in 2014-2015 for 2015-2016. Some of you will receive "Expiration of Job Security Period" letters. This means that you no longer have the right to be continued in the position (CUPE Union rules), but you can apply for the positions again. Martha
