Our VP Public and University Affairs attended the @TTCriders rally to speak to the importance of transit for students. Public transit is the backbone of our city, and for students, it's a necessity.
Avreet Jagdev from @uoftsu is up - Avreet speaks on the importance of transit in the lives of students, as a way to get to class and around the city. Increase funding into the TTC, the backbone of the city!
The UTSU is excited to partner with the African Black Caribbean, Latin American, Southeast Asian & First Generation Student Engagement, the University Registrar's Office and Woodsworth College to deliver a Financial Aid Workshop! Register here: folio.utoronto.ca/students/e…

From our Vice-President, Public & University Affairs @AidanMThompson :
“Will Toronto choose to be a city that builds, or will it fall into decades of decay?
If you ask the youth, the answer is simple: It’s time for Toronto to get back into the business of building.”
From @AidanMThompson in @globeandmail
“If Toronto had kept the attitudes toward homebuilding it had in the postwar era, today’s young people would have a city they could afford to live in.”
“Instead, we watch as graduates flee the city”

Mixed feelings with today's Fall Economic Statement.
We’re excited to see major funding committed to non-profit construction of affordable housing…
But the timeline locks the fund away for years to come.
We’re in a student housing crisis today. Why wait?
U of T Students' Union retweeted
“…more than 10,300 students living in university housing this year across University of Toronto’s three campuses…” - sounds impressive until you realize that U of T has 97,000+ students enrolled at those 3 campuses.
“We can only house 10.5% of our students” - is a more realistic reflection of the headline.
U of T is investing in new #StudentHousing in Toronto, but needs to target on-campus housing for 50%+ of their student body over the next decade.

Excited to see student groups like @CASAACAE sign this letter along with admin groups like @U15ca .
It’s an important reminder that administration advocacy is strongest when aligned with student needs.
The Coalition for Canadian Research today issued a public letter to the @CanadianPM.
With international competition mounting, Canada must invest in research. We need ambition to ensure Canada’s future success and prosperity.

It was a big week at #UofT! Students @UofTSU organized several orientation events to welcome the tri-campus community to the 2023 fall term – including a cheer-off & parade that took over the St. George campus. 🙌 #UofTBackToSchool

We welcome all first year and returning students to campus ✏️ 📚
We have amazing events/activities planned throughout the year. Keep monitoring our social media accounts and the website to keep updated.
Thank you to MPP @JessicaBellTO for shining a light on this persistent and pressing issue in Toronto’s rental market.
There are now over 25,000 listings in Toronto on @Airbnb, and more than 20,000 are for properties rented for 28 days or more. These mid-term rentals don't register with the city, or follow city rules. Airbnb is morphing into a rental company. insideairbnb.com/toronto
In the meantime, we’re keeping up the fight to legalise density in the downtown core, and to secure funding for affordable student housing — but we want to hear from you.
