In the fall of 2009, undergrads (as well as grad students) came out in record numbers to vote in favour of the Sustainability Projects Fund. The energy on campus was incredible; this was the first and largest fund of its kind in North America. The administration committed to match every dollar raised by students, and with students giving 50 cents per credit that represents a total of nearly $3M raised in the past three in a half years. The results speak for themselves, with over 90 incredible student, faculty and staff led projects that have literally changed the way McGill operates. The initial 3-year trial is up. The admin has committed to support this again. MacDonald Campus Student Society said yes, now it’s our turn. How often do you get to make a 4.2 million dollar decision? Now is your chance.
Vote YES to secure up to 4.2 million dollars for sustainability at McGill over the next five years. Voting ends at 6pm this Saturday (www.ssmu.simplyvoting.com)
