Teachers won't be tripping up the school-based Terry Fox Runs.
Even though there is ongoing job action, Prince George and District Teachers Association president Matt Pearce said Thursday that won't stop teachers from helping to organize the runs.
"We don't have any intention of impaction extracurricular activities like the Terry Fox Run," Pearce said.
A run for the general public was held Sunday and the school runs will be held Sept. 28.
Pearce said the only type of fundraising teachers won't participate in is efforts to specifically raise money for schools.
"A lot of the fundraising that teachers have taken on is to support a system that's no longer funded to meet those needs anymore," he said. "For outside things like raising money for charities and food banks and things like that, those activities are going to continue."
With negotiations with the provincial government over a new contract at a standstill, teachers have launched a "phase one" job action that will see them refusing to perform administrative tasks such as filling out forms, collecting data, meeting with principals or other administrators, supervising on playgrounds, or writing report cards.
Talks remain in gridlock according to Pearce.
