“The value of public education and the people within it must be a universally understood issue across the country, and this requires a strong and unified CTF/FCE,” said Clint. “I firmly believe we are stronger together.”

Clint brings a wealth of education union leadership experience to his new role. Following three years as Local President in Chilliwack, Clint served as the President of the BCTF since 2022, following six years as a Vice-President of the BCTF.

Clint has led bargaining teams both locally and provincially, providing him with a solid understanding of union and governance issues on a broad scale.

As a leader, Clint is known for his commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. He strives to bring folks together and tackle complex challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. As he notes: “I have the experience, am ready for the hard work ahead, and am proud to represent the collective voices of the CTF/FCE’s provincial and territorial organizations on a national level and connect us all in this shared work.”

All members of the CTF/FCE Executive continue their two-year terms until 2025.
