Durham Elementary OECTA is the local unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association representing permanent elementary teachers employed by the Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB). Headquartered in Oshawa, this organization acts as the primary union representative for its members, focusing on collective bargaining, conflict resolution, and the protection of teachers’ professional rights and working conditions. Beyond advocacy, the unit serves as a professional resource, fostering community and offering support services to educators across the region’s Catholic elementary schools.
