SUMMARY:CHUO 89.1 FM referendum at University of Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:The uOttawa student elections this year March 2-6 are a last chance to save campus/community radio station CHUO 89.1 FM. \nYou can help in the campaign to convince students to “Restore CHUO”. \nThis past December\, the CHUO board of directors made the decision to close the station due to lack of funds. Pre-recorded broadcasting is set to continue until the end of March\, then the station is planned to go silent. \nThis referendum can reverse that situation. The stations funding problems arose largely due to a 2023-2024 student vote revoking the long-standing student fee (‘levy’) that was a major part of CHUO’s funding. Less than 10% of students voted either way in that previous referendum. \nThis current referendum is on a proposal to establish a smaller levy than existed previously. \nA small group of volunteers\, many of them show hosts at CHUO\, are attempting to reach out to UO undergrad students and let them know about the situation\, to convince them to vote to support CHUO. \nWays to support this campaign: \n* Personally reach out to uOttawa undergrads you have connection with\, or to people you know who have connections to undergrads. \n* Join with campaign members to distribute flyers to students on campus this coming week (February 23-28) prior to the vote. \nFull information – including contact email address and sign up form – is at the linktr.ee/891chuo \n“CHUO 89.1 FM had the most diverse and representative programming out of all the campus/community stations in Canada\,” according to a member of the CFRU (GuelphU) news department after hearing word of the closure in December.

SUMMARY:OPIRG-GRIPO referendum at University of Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:Re-establishing student funding for OPIRG-GRIPO is on the ballot during this year’s UOSU undergraduate student elections March 2-6. \nOPIRG-GRIPO\, the Ontario Public Interest Research Group at uOttawa\, lost student funding in a 2023-2024 referendum\, and is in a very precarious financial situation without the student support. \nHelp us ensure students know the importance and history of what OPIRG is about\, both on-campus and off\, and our relevance to their lives today. \nHelp us ensure OPIRG-GRIPO’s survival as part of the struggle for social change. \nPlease reach out to any University of Ottawa undergraduate students you can to get out the vote. \nAnd if you would like to directly help OPIRG-GRIPO with the referendum campaign\, please get in touch by email (admin@opirg-gripo.ca) or the link-in-bio on Instagram.
