Membership with the Manitoba Teachers’ Society (MTS) is a separate process. All public school teachers are automatically members of MTS, and will have an MTS number which they can enter on their conference registration form.

Independent teachers, those with a Limited Teaching Permit, and students enrolled in Post-Secondary studies may not have an MTS number. In this case, they may enter “N/A” on their Tempo registration form, or they may apply annually for Associate or Student Membership. See The Manitoba Teachers’ Society for more details.
