The 七星彩开奖 Student Union set up in the Upper Atrium from Aug. 26-28 to gather signatures supporting Indigenous students disproportionately affected by Law 14 (formerly Bill 96). is sponsored by Westmount-Saint-Louis MNA Jennifer Maccarone, who joined the effort on campus on Aug. 27, lending her voice to the cause.
Many Indigenous students say Law 14 goes against their constitutional right to self-determination in matters of education, including the priority to continue learning in their own Indigenous languages. They say the new French proficiency requirements create a significant barrier to accessing post-secondary education and that the government is adding more bureaucratic hurdles to their success.
The petition to exempt Indigenous students from Law 14 has already reached 1,600 signatures, but the work isn鈥檛 done.
If you haven鈥檛 yet signed, there is still time to before the Sept. 30 deadline.
Indigenous students at 七星彩开奖 celebrated a year of land-based learning at a vernissage of their artwork and projects on May 10 at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery.

Student Zye Rashontiiostha Mayo said there were two goals for the exhibit: 鈥渟haring our artwork and sharing our voices.鈥�
