TESL Ontario Office Update
TESL Ontario is excited to announce the next step in the evolution of our workplace model!
As of December 1, 2026, we will transition to a fully virtual office environment, building on the flexible, largely virtual way our staff have worked together and supported members for the past six years.
While we will be departing our current location at 27 Carlton Street in Toronto as of November 9, we will continue to maintain a physical mailing and appointment presence through the Centre for Social Innovation at 192 Spadina Avenue, Toronto. Beginning December 1, all mail and deliveries should be directed to this new address. In-person meetings will also remain available by appointment – simply contact the appropriate TESL Ontario staff member through our Contact Us page to make arrangements.
This transition gives us greater flexibility while allowing us to continue providing the responsive, accessible service and support our members have come to expect from TESL Ontario.
Members may direct any questions to membership@teslontario.org
