The time for a publicly funded, universal post-secondary education system has arrived. No more tuition fees. No more student debt. No more university and colleges deficits. Canada needs a post-secondary education system that is publicly funded, universally accessible, and publicly administered – just like health care.
The Ontario Federation of Labour believes Ontarians deserve universal post-secondary education and that Ontario can achieve it now. That’s why the OFL has created a toolkit to assist our affiliates, community partners and allies in pushing for a universal post-secondary system now.
In this toolkit, you will find the information you need to launch an Ontario City Council campaign to take the first steps to achieve universal post-secondary education.
With our i) backgrounder; ii) sample city council motion to be adapted for your community; iii) speaking notes; and iv) contact list, we want everyone – faculty and students, unions, and parents – to come together and take action in their communities.
The goal is for you to propose a motion at your city council in support of universal post-secondary education.
