Education is a right, not a privilege! 📢 @cfson

Ontario students are facing unprecedented challenges as recent government decisions threaten the affordability and quality of post-secondary education. From drastic cuts to OSAP grants, forcing students into thousands of dollars in extra debt, to Bill 33 and the loss of essential ancillary fee funding for student mental health, food security, and campus services, the future of higher education is on the line.

This isn’t just a student issue. This is also a community issue. Accessible education shapes the future of North Bay and Ontario as a whole. We need our entire community to stand with us! 📚

Join us for the Hands Off Our Education Protest:

Date: Wednesday, October 21st, 2026
Location: Outside Vic Fedeli’s Constituency Office (Downtown North Bay) 🏠

Protest Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm

🎨🪧 Sign-Making Session: 12:00pm - 2:00pm at the Harris Learning Library

🚌 NUSU Bus Departure: Free bus transportation departs from the NUSU Student Centre at 2:30pm and returns to campus drop-offs after the protest. NOTE: Students can reserve a seat on the bus at nusu.com/events

Whether you are a student, alumni, parent, worker, or North Bay resident, your voice matters. Come out, bring your friends, and stand in support for accessible, well-funded education for all! ✊💙💚

Yesterday, your UWSA Student Senators along with their counterparts in both the Organization of Part-Time Undergraduate Students (OPUS) and the Graduate Students’ Society (GSS), as well as our friends in the Windsor University Faculty Association (WUFA) and among University of Windsor senior leadership, accomplished something very significant during the first Senate meeting of the academic year.

In a nearly unanimous vote, the Senate approved academic amnesty for students wishing to participate in the province-wide walk-out and demonstration slated to occur on November 5th in opposition to the changes to the OSAP framework which have made post-secondary education less accessible to so many students in Ontario.

Academic amnesty means that students wishing to participate in the walk-out and the associated demonstration will not receive any academic penalties for being absent from their lectures, including participation marks, quizzes, assignment due dates, etc. IMPORTANT: in order to receive accommodation under this amnesty, students intending to participate MUST communicate with the relevant professor(s) for courses they will miss on November 5th no less than 48 hours before that date.

The UWSA will be releasing the full details of planned demonstration activities at the University of Windsor including time and location in the coming days through a variety of methods including social media, Brightspace, and email, so monitor those regularly if you are interested in participating in this movement!

Please repost and share for visibility!

Affordable and accessible education for all!

Today's the day 🎉! It's your last chance ⏳ to sign up and join our good work agenda campaign!

This call is to support you organizing on campus 🏫.

It’s hard to be a young person in Canada right now.

We want to create the momentum to gather workers, students, and members on our campus to talk about the problems we face and fight for Good Work.

While our government invests in AI, weapons, and pipelines benefiting billionaire corporations, we can't afford rent, groceries, or our tuition, and can't find meaningful, well-paid, good work.

If we organize, we can win! We see globally Gen Z rising up against austerity measures; it's our time!

L’Ontario est une de seulement quatre provinces a avoir des droits de scolarités moyens de 1er cycle qui dépassent les 10 000$. Ils ont augmenté de 3,5% depuis l’an dernier et atteignent les 10 655$.

Au cours des 10 dernières années, ils ont augmenté de 17,6%, tandis que l'inflation provinciale a progressé de 30,9 % sur la même période.

Cette année, l'Ontario a levé le gel provincial des droits de scolarité et autorisé une hausse de 2%, même si plusieurs programmes ont été exemptés de ce plafond et ont connu des hausses plus importantes.

Aidez-nous à faire en sorte que TOUS les Canadiens puissent accéder à l'éducation : demandez au gouvernement d'investir dans l’éducation postsecondaire. Carte du Canada de couleur bleu fonçé, sur laquelle la province de l'Ontario est mise en évidence en jaune. Une bulle pointe vers l'Ontario et comporte le texte suivant : "10 655$ droits de scolarité de premier cycle moyens pour l'année scolaire 2026-27." Texte sous la carte qui lit "Hausse sur 1 an: 3,5%" et "Hausse sur 10 ans: 17,6%."

Ontario is one of four provinces with average domestic undergrad tuition and fees over $10,000. It increased by 3.5% over last year to $10,655.

Over the last 10 years they increased by 17.6%, while provincial inflation increased 30.9% for the same period.

This year, Ontario lifted its provincial tuition fee freeze and allowed for a 2% increase, though several programs were exempt from this cap and saw higher increases.

Help us ensure that ALL Canadians can access education- tell the government to invest in public colleges and universities. Dark blue map of Canada with the province of Ontario highlighted in yellow. Bubble pointing to Ontario with text that reads "$10,665 average domestic undergrad tuition and fees for 2026-27."

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour residential school Survivors, the children who never returned home, and the generations of Indigenous peoples who continue to resist colonial violence.

Residential schools may have closed, but the colonial systems that enabled them did not disappear. Indigenous nations continue to fight for their lands, waters, sovereignty and right to self-determination.

The Circle of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Students Caucus calls on us to move beyond reconciliation as a symbolic gesture and toward solidarity and action: uphold Indigenous sovereignty, respect Free, Prior and Informed Consent, and stand with land and water defenders across Turtle Island.

No reconciliation without justice. Every Child Matters. 🧡

We invite you to deepen your understanding and solidarity via the resources made available in our bio.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation et de la Journée du chandail orange, nous rendons hommage aux survivants des pensionnats, aux enfants qui ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux et aux générations de peuples autochtones qui continuent de résister à la violence coloniale.

Les pensionnats ont beau avoir fermé leurs portes, les systèmes coloniaux qui les ont rendus possibles n’ont pas disparu. Les nations autochtones continuent de lutter pour leurs terres, leurs eaux, leur souveraineté et leur droit à l’autodétermination.

Le Caucus du Cercle des étudiants des Premières Nations, des Métis et des Inuits nous invite à aller au-delà de la réconciliation en tant que geste symbolique pour nous diriger vers la solidarité et l’action : défendre la souveraineté autochtone, respecter le consentement libre, préalable et éclairé, et se tenir aux côtés des défenseurs de la terre et de l’eau partout sur l’Île de la Tortue.

Pas de réconciliation sans justice. Chaque enfant compte. 🧡

Nous vous invitons à approfondir votre compréhension et à renforcer votre solidarité grâce aux ressources mises à votre disposition dans notre bio.

On October 1st, 2026, workers earning Ontario's general #minimumwage will receive a 35¢ increase to $17.95 per hour. But we know this is not enough!

The yearly minimum wage cost of living adjustments we won in 2014 lag behind what workers need, especially as many have their pay stolen by their employers, and our government allows it to happen.

If you are being paid below the minimum wage or are unsure, call the Workers’ Action Centre at (416) 531-0778 for free and confidential support.

"We are not asking Canada for anything it hasn't already done for students in crisis. We are asking for the same consistency, the same transparency and the same urgency" Our students have waited for far too long. Students in Gaza have been waiting for more than 2 years for a response from the @citimmcanada but have been left with complete silence. @lena4halifaxwest how many more months, if not years, do our students have to wait?
