FRIDAY APRIL 21: Crowd the BOG Meeting!

Volunteer Coordinator April 18, 2017 April 18, 2017

Join the Guelph Action Coalition and Fossil Free Guelph as we show up and demand that academia aligns itself with justice by DIVESTING from fossil fuels and FREEZING tuition costs so that education is affordable and accessible.

FREEZE THE FEES AND FOSSIL FREE!

NOTE: It looks like finance stuff is being discussed during the middle of the meeting, probably around 10:00 or 10:30am. If you can’t be there right at the start, you can come a bit later and not miss it.

Please join and share the Facebook event!

The meeting will be taking place in the Auditorium of the OAC Centennial Arboretum Centre, which is about a 20-25 minute walk from the UC. Here are directions!

We will be making signs on Thursday April 20, between 12 and 4pm in the UC Courtyard. Drop in any time!

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
