Faculty at community colleges across the province, including St. Clair College, have unofficially ratified a new three-year deal.

Teachers at the province's 24 colleges voted approximately 61 per cent in favour of the agreement.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board will confirm results of the vote in the coming days.

Faculty will receive a 4.5 per cent salary increase over three years.

The parties mutually agreed to address some staffing benefit and workload issues.
