The program purchases produce directly from local farmers and wholesalers. The program is run by volunteers that pack the boxes full of fruits and vegetables to be delivered to depots across the city.

President's Message for December 7, 2012

Wow – I can’t believe the semester is almost over! The past few months have flown by and it’s already time for exams.

As students ourselves, your Students’ Union knows just how stressful exam time can be. We are committed to making sure that you know where to turn when you’re in need of some extra help.

Look out for your VP Student Life, Hayley Wade, and your VP Academic, Kenya-Jade Pinto, while you’re studying as they will be distributing de-stress packs full of goodies designed to keep you focused and healthy.
