Registry showing disciplinary records of Manitoba teachers now posted online
A registry disclosing Manitoba teachers’ disciplinary records that the province had promised would come online this January is now public.
The registry of certified teachers and school clinicians shows the certification status of kindergarten to Grade 12 education professionals, including whether they’ve been suspended or can no longer teach in the province.
Similar registries for other professions were already in place in the province, but there wasn’t one for teachers. The new registry makes Manitoba one of a handful of provinces in Canada disclosing such information to the public.
Users can look up the names of people who have held a teaching certificate in Manitoba from 1960 to the present day to find their current status as well as the type of certificate, when it was issued and any disciplinary records.
Danielle McNab, who years ago brought forward concerns about the inappropriate behaviour of a teacher at the Winnipeg school she’d attended from kindergarten to Grade 11, said disclosing the records publicly means a teacher’s problematic history cannot be easily swept under the rug.
The registry shows the teacher had his licence suspended in 2022, but it does not provide any details about what led to that decision. McNab, who is now 21, said she would like the registry to include more information in the future.
“If it was, like, violent incident or something else, I think that would be probably an important thing to know,” she said. “But I think this is good.”
As of Monday afternoon, the list of disciplinary outcomes showed 78 educators in the province had had their licences cancelled since 1989.
The list showed 33 certificate suspensions, with five reinstated and currently in good standing. So far in 2025, there have been two suspensions and one cancellation.
The registry was written into law as part of amendments to the province’s Education Administration Act, which the legislature passed unanimously in 2023 under the previous Progressive Conservative government.
Last January, NDP Education Minister Nello Altomare said his government was working on it and that the registry would come online after 12 months.
In September, the province appointed Bobbi Taillefer as Manitoba’s first independent education commissioner.
The former Winnipeg school principal and union executive is now in charge of investigating educators and taking disciplinary action when warranted, as well as publishing the records.
