New date set for the UOSU’s reopening of campus convenience store.
The University of Ottawa Students’ Union plans to reopen Café Alt and Pivik in September 2020. The future of 1848 is still uncertain, while the union will not be bringing back the Agora Bookstore.
The Fulcrum has put together a list of alternative shops that students can go to if the SFUO ceases to be able to fund its businesses on campus—or, if you are just looking to support non-SFUO initiatives.
While it was a strong year for PIVIK and Agora, the numbers looked much worse for Café Alt and 1848.

The source told the Tomato that proposed ideas ran from the plausible, like setting off a fireworks display from the top of the Desmarais building and charging ticket fees, to the truly ridiculous, such as ensuring that SFUO fees are adjusted for annual inflation.
1848 has reopened after a summer of construction and the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) is now looking to make improvements to one of its other businesses, Pivik.
