Testimonials 

“Peter Day is passionate about education and he is a vocal advocate for the members he represents - all NSTU members. In my time around the Provincial Executive table, Peter has shown strong leadership traits. He listens, and his comments are measured and well thought out, without sacrificing his passion. He has thrived in the role of Secretary-Treasurer, and will be an active voice to represent the NSTU as we face the upcoming challenges. Most importantly, Peter doesn’t shy away from taking action and standing up for our rights. For these reasons, I am proud to support Peter Day for NSTU President.” 

Jo Leigh McPhee

First Vice-President

"In today's challenging educational landscape, having a leader who is not only proactive but also resolute in championing the rights and interests of teachers is crucial. Right now, our union needs a loud voice and we need to take action. I want a leader who is bold and willing to take a stand. Bold change does not happen without bold action and our profession is in need of that right now. Peter has consistently demonstrated his courage to stand up for what is right, ensuring that the voice of the membership is heard and respected."

Jo-anne Richardson Laundry 

Kings Local President

“Peter Day is one of the most authentic and hardest working members of the Provincial Executive. He advocates strongly not only for the members in Cape Breton, but for the whole of the NSTU. Peter has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and he is generous with his time in mentoring new members in his own local and around the PE table. One of Peter’s strongest qualities is his readiness to accept that someone’s opinion may differ from his, and while he may not agree, he will respect that their opinion may also be valid. It is for all of these reasons and many more that I am endorsing Peter Day for president of the NSTU.”

Provincial Executive Colchester-East Hants

"As a local president, I have worked with Peter Day for the last 3 years. In my opinion, Peter Day is a trusted advocate who wholeheartedly champions the rights of our members. He recognizes the critical need for safe schools that prioritize the well-being of teachers, staff, and students. Peter understands that unless our working conditions and salaries align with this fundamental requirement, we risk losing more valuable educators who shape the future of our society."

"Endorsing Peter Day for NSTU President was an easy decision. His unwavering dedication to unionism, coupled with a genuine commitment to listening to teachers' voices, makes him an ideal candidate.

I feel this makes him an ideal leader to advocate for teachers and ensure our concerns are heard and addressed."
