Will:
Let’s talk about the Student Choice Initiative! As you may knowDoug Ford has decided to make a bunch of “non-essential” fees optional, making SASSex have less money and we need money for all our things (Like SibBBQ, Formal, Bursary, Welcome Week, and more)!! SASSex is positioned against the SCI, and we urge people to stay in the fee.
We have lost $400 so far which is equal to one half of welcome week, 1 coffee house, and ½ our bursary. IIf you have any questions, please ask Haley, myself, any SASSex, or level reps.
