Ottawa Centre MPP Joel Harden released an open letter to Jacques Frémont, along with the presidents of all other post-secondaries in Ottawa, calling on them to cut classes on Sept. 27 so students, faculty and support staff can attend the protest.
“They’re putting a Band-Aid on a (major problem) and it’s not the right type of Band-Aid, it’s going to fall off after your first shower,” said Brittany Wilson, who uses OSAP’s soon to be scrapped free tuition grant.
The Ford government announced changes to OSAP last week that will see many students receive significantly reduced grants from the program.
