AUSU Newsletter | February 13

Hey Students, welcome back to your Weekly Newsletter!

–

As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, we wanted to share the story of Rosemary Sadlier.

Born and raised in Toronto, Ms. Sadlier became the president of the Ontario Black History Society in 1993. The organization is responsible for the recognition of Black History Month at the municipal and provincial levels in Toronto and Ontario respectively. 

During her time as president, she successfully petitioned the federal government to recognize Black History Month as an annual national event. Today, she continues to advocate for social justice and the education of black history in the Canadian curriculum.

Looking ahead at the week, 

The Sault Ste. Marie campus will hold its first drag show of the semester This Friday! The Haus (house) of Gore will be joining AUSU for a spectacular night of drag and donations to the HIV / Aids Resource Program (HARP) and the Ontario Aboriginal HIV / AIDS Strategy (OAHAS). 

On Wednesday we will be hosting our very first ever “AUSU Creates” event! Each month we will feature different creative opportunities, this week the theme is “Drawing’. You can participate in person at the speakeasy or you can join us remotely via the link that will be emailed Wednesday morning. 

And on Sunday, our Thunderbirds will have their senior night at the GLC, as they face off against the York Lions in OUA Basketball action. 

We have one more important reminder,
