Hi all,
First, sorry for all the spamming. Let's hope it won't be needed soon.
If you think a better safe-return-to-campus plan is needed, and if you* are living in the
Burnaby-Deer Lake electoral district, please call your MLA's office and make your feelings known. She is the Minister of Advanced Education, and there's a
bunch of evidence that she is the one sitting on the brakes.
(Thanks a lot for the letter, Dan!)
Some might consider calling an MLA's office an old-fashioned strategy, but there's lots of old-fashioned evidence that it works. It's even possible they read emails there.

*) And anyone you know, too.
Fyi. Please let me know if you want to add your signature. Also, please feel free to share widely, especially with media. Or if you know anyone in the UG or Grad associations who might be working on a
similar effort.
Some notes:
- we are not making policy here, so let's not sweat the details. We just want to see policy move in a certain direction.
- if you can think of a better letter, please write it and I will (probably) sign that too! We will need all the pressure we can get to move this very big rock.
- no hatemail plz thx 👍😷
