The forming of a local chapter affords the opportunity for more contact with colleagues and adds weight for action on behalf of those concerned at both local and provincial levels. Any interested group of Learning Assistance teachers may form a chapter. The majority of local Learning Assistance teachers in your chapter should have membership in the provincial specialist association of LATA.
A financial incentive for newly formed chapters and the reinstating of chapters that have been inactive for more than a year (amount to be confirmed and based on approved budget for each year)
Opportunities to participate and share in Professional Development activities
Support for Regional or Local Conferences: must be approved to qualify for funding
A chance to liaise with other PSAs, the BCTF, universities, government ministries, and other organizations/businesses with related interests
