In Memoriam
In Memory of our Colleagues
This page serves as a record of District 24 OSSTF members who have passed away while in active service. As of September 2014, your District Executive decided to create this page as a living memorial to our lost colleagues.
On the occasion of a member death, our flags here at the District Office are flown at half mast for one week. The member's name is also added to this virtual memorial. Beginning in 2015, we will plant a tree on the District 24 property in memory of those who have passed in each five year cycle (2015, 2020 etc.)
We hope this will become a historical record of our members as well as a tribute to their contributions as education workers.
Lost colleagues are also mentioned annually in a tribute moment of silence at our Annual Meeting of the Provincial Assembly in March of each year.
