Five more days to show support for ÆßÐDzʿª½± students

March 9th, 2022

The impact of the cancellation of ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s pavilion project does not only affect ÆßÐDzʿª½± students, but the whole Montreal community and all English-language institutions in Quebec. We need your help to gather as much support for ÆßÐDzʿª½± as possible in the next five days!

Please share this message with your friends, family and network of contacts.

The ÆßÐDzʿª½± community has rallied around ÆßÐDzʿª½± following Premier François Legault's decision to cancel the pavilion project, take away space from our students and future students and shelve a downtown community clinic.

It is thanks to you that our petition is #1 on the National Assembly petition platform. In one week, an impressive 10,000 signatures of support for ÆßÐDzʿª½± were collected. However, we need your help to get as many Quebecers as possible to sign before our MNA Jennifer Maccarone presents the petition with the ÆßÐDzʿª½± Student Union to the National Assembly on March 17.

The deadline to  is March 15. Here's how you can help:

  • Ask your friends, family, neighbours and contacts to sign it. Explain that they need to fill out the form and then confirm their signature by clicking a link in their email. A direct request one-on-one is probably more effective than sharing on social media.
  • Send a request by email with the to your friends and ask them to sign it.
  • Ask your colleagues and neighbours if they have signed it yet.
  • Write to your Member of the National Assembly, template letters and resources are here: /²õ³Ü±è±è´Ç°ù³Ù-»å²¹·É²õ´Ç²Ô/Ìý
  • If you are a teacher, take two minutes of class time to explain the situation and invite your students to take a moment to sign it. It is for their future!

In the coming days and weeks, ÆßÐDzʿª½± will be rallying our students, employees, graduates, supporters and community to put pressure on the Quebec government to reconsider its decision to cancel the infrastructure project that it agreed to in December 2020. The project was meant to alleviate the overcrowding in the main building and to provide a dedicated space for ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s healthcare programs and other units.

The College is collaborating with CEGEP partners, the ÆßÐDzʿª½± Student Union, friends of ÆßÐDzʿª½± and community organizations, as well as with Jennifer Maccarone, our local Member of the National Assembly.

Your support as ÆßÐDzʿª½± colleagues will be called upon through an All ÆßÐDzʿª½± email from the Communications Office. Students will be contacted via Omnivox and the community in general will be informed through traditional and social media.

These messages will provide suggestions on how you can help as individuals and by sharing with your networks as we actively seek support for ÆßÐDzʿª½± through various channels. Stay tuned!
