UWOSA supports an OCUFA (Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations) email/letter campaign designed to encourage the Ontario Government to protect and increase funding to Universities in its March 26 Budget. We encourage all of our members, and everyone concerned about University education in the Province of Ontario, to participate in this campaign.
To participate in the campaign, please visit the following page:

You can obtain more information about this issue and the campaign on the Quality Matters website.
This is a critical time for Ontario Universities, and time is short: Please participate in this campaign now!
Feel like getting away? As a UWOSA member, you are entitled to receive discounted rates for three of the trips offered by Take a Break Travel this year. The Membership and Social Committee has selected three different outings to sponsor, and are confident that you will find one of interest.
Please email Denise Farr, the Membership Services Officer at MSO@uwosa.ca to book a trip.
