Nova Scotia Teachers Union elects new president
The Nova Scotia Teachers Union has elected Peter Day as its new president.
Day defeated Shawn Hanifen in a second ballot election held on Wednesday, receiving 60.6 per cent of the vote.
In a news release, the NSTU said Day has been a teacher for 22 years and is currently a technology mentor for the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education. The union said he has taught grades 3 through 12 across schools in the Strait and Cape Breton-Victoria regions.
Day is a member of the provincial executive and serves as the secretary-treasurer for the union.
The first round of votes by the 10,000 members of the union was done electronically last week, but did not produce a winner.
The union said 69 per cent of its membership voted in the runoff vote held Wednesday.
Day's first day of being president will be Aug. 1, 2024. He is replacing Ryan Lutes, who has been president since Aug. 1, 2022.
