As we bear witness to the unimaginable events taking place in Ukraine, we call upon political leaders to immediately bring about peace and stability, and honour sovereignty. It’s a lot to take in, and affects all of us in different ways. We’re here to listen.
The Ontario government has introduced back-to-work legislation to end the faculty strike. The passage of legislation could take a few days. We will let students know when they can expect classes to resume and look forward to having students and faculty back in class soon.
Surprise!

Why so snarky about free pads and tampons? We really just want to make things a little easier on our female students. You can't just "not afford" your period. It's happening, whether you've got a tampon or not.
