Additionally, we encourage you to voice your concerns about this situation and share a personal statement about the program’s impact in this Google Form.

On Friday, we invite you to read your own statements at the meeting if you feel comfortable. Alternatively, we will read them for you anonymously, so please indicate whether or not you give us consent to do so. This is our time to take up space and make our voices heard.

Lastly, please sign the petition against the program closure if you have not done so already, and continue to share it.

Thank you all for your time, and we look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to BPSU (IG: uoft_bpsu, email: [email protected]) and/or PATH (IG: pathuoft) if you have any further questions or concerns, or if you need any support during these hard times. There is strength in community.

Sending warmth,
