BC's 45,000 public school teachers have overwhelmingly accepted a new, three-year contract with the provincial government.
It includes a six per cent pay increase over the life of the deal, as well as wording setting out a mediation process to smooth future negotiations.
The BC Teachers Federation says its members voted 98 per cent in favour.
The agreement was reached after more than a year of sometimes tense bargaining between the federation and the BC Public School Employers Association, representing the province.
