• Time to be Bold at the Polls and Election Results Party on October 21

  October 16th, 2019

  

  On October 21, it’s time to be bold and vote for student issues at the Federal Elections!

  Voter turnout among young people aged 18 to 24 in the last federal election increased by 18.3 percentage points (from 38.8% in 2011 to 57.1% in 2015), the single largest increase for this age group since Statistics Canada began compiling the data. Imagine what could happen if that percentage was even higher?

  Free education is possible. Now is the time to be bold and use your vote to demand access for all. Learn more about the issues here.

  Sign the pledge online at: https://cfs-fcee.ca 

  To find your polling stations and ID requirements, register to vote at elections.ca.

  After voting, join the UWSA at The Good Will Social Club from 7 PM onwards to countdown to the results together!
  Students enter free and cheap drinks all night!

• A notice to our membership regarding the VP Internal Affairs

  October 1st, 2019

  Dear Members, 

  On September 24, 2019 the UWSA Board of Directors ratified a motion to remove the Vice-President Internal Affairs, Natasha Reimer from the Board of Directors. The removal was due to Conflict of Interest, that is through violation of UWSA Bylaw 7.6. 

  The motion was moved in the August 13, 2019 Board Meeting and approved by a majority vote. The decision of the Board was then ratified in the September board meeting. 

  As an elected Executive Director of the UWSA, the Vice President Internal Affairs role is a full time, salaried term position. For confidentiality and privacy reasons, the details of the conflict of interest are available only to the Board of Directors.

  For more information on our Bylaws and the Conflict of Interest Policy, please visit the following links:

  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Chief Operating Officer at k.vargscarr@theuwsa.ca.
