General Membership Meeting Sat. Jan 18, 2025

Due to the ongoing cyber attack with the UCDSB, we have decided to change the GMM meeting to strictly virtual.  At this point it is not clear whether we would have internet available at the schools by Saturday.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we want to ensure everyone can be part of this meeting.

In Solidary

President
