Why high school students walking out gives me hope
By Mick Sweetman Managing Editor
Bill 115, the Orwelliannamed Putting Students F i r s t Act, was passed in the Ontairo legislature last week stripping tens of thousands of teachers and education workers of their right to collective bargaining. You could hear the clucking of Premier Dalton McGuinty and Education Minister Loreal Broten as they patted themselves on the back saying they saved the opening of the school year for over 2 million elementary and high school students across Ontario. Oh how they crowed, about how Bill 115 was necessary to reduce the deficit while still preserving their centerpiece initiative of all-day kindergarten. Never mind that in 2011 only one out of five kindergartenaged kids were enrolled in an allday program. The lack of a public daycare system in Ontario forces parents to choose between enrolling their kids and needing to pick them up in the middle of a workday. Then when teachers started to exercise one of the few rights they have left, to no longer volunteer unpaid hours for school extra-curricular activities such as clubs and sports
teams, something unexpected happened. Students across the province got mad and took action, staging antigovernment walkouts and protests that spread from remote locales such as Kawartha Lakes and the Northshore region in northern Ontario right across the province to Vaughn, Brampton, Woodbridge, Toronto, Owen Sound, Ottawa, and Richmond Hill. Students have organized protests at no less than 16 Ontario high schools since the passing of Bill 115 and that number is growing daily. What is remarkable about this unsanctioned and rebellious wave of protest is that the students’ ire is aimed squarely at the government and not the teachers. Some of the protest signs carried by students read; “Putting Students Last Act”; “Students against Bill 115”; “Negotiate, don’t legislate”; “Revoke Bill 115” and the cheeky “If you can read this, thank a teacher!” In a poll on the Toronto Star’s website over 79% of 6,240 respondents blamed the government for the cancellation of extra-curricular activities. “We don’t blame our teachers. It’s the government. We are definitely not on the government’s side,” said Jordana Moss, who plays volleyball, badminton and football at Stephen Lewis Secondary School in Vaughn, in a Toronto Star article on Sept. 14 A photo that Moss posted to twitter
of the announcement of the cancellation of sports at her school quickly spread and by 11:30 a.m. an estimated 700 students were protesting in front of the school. These students give me hope. They are smart, social media savvy and won’t be talked-down to by politicians like Broten who act like youth can’t understand what the Liberal and Conservatives are doing to destroy their future. In an article in the Globe and Mail on Sept. 19 Broten said, “We are urging teachers to recognize the importance of extracurricular programs to our students, to raise their issues with us but keep the kids out of it.” That is a slap in the face for students across Ontario who are sick and tired of being talked about like they don’t exist. A recent article in yorkregion.com covering a walkout at Richmond Green Secondary School (RGSS) in Richmond hill shows today’s students aren’t putting up with being told they’re little more than pawns. “Today, we stand on the precipice of a new age. The world thinks we have no voice, that the students have become both docile and ignorant,” said Ali Taghva, 16, to a cheering crowd at RGSS, “We ask you to show the nation today that we stand united. This is our movement; the students’ movement!” I remember what it was like in high school and sports was an important part of getting through that experi-
ence. I was never the best athlete but I played high school football and was on the wrestling team and some days, okay more days than I would like to admit, it was the main reason that I went to school and didn’t end up dropping out. Today’s high school students face an even bleaker future than I did, with an economic crisis shedding an entire generation’s worth of goodpaying jobs, skyrocketing tuition for post-secondary education and nasty cuts to basic social services that make our society function. August’s Labour Force Survey, published by Statistics Canada, paints a dire picture for youth with unemployment rates ranging from 11.3 per cent for 20-24 year olds to a staggering 30.2 per cent for students aged 15-16. It should be noted that the average employment rate was one of the lowest on record at only 47.9 per cent, meaning over half of students were not in the workforce at all. While this might have started over sports and clubs being cancelled students have a lot to protest about these days and the government should pay attention—not dismiss them. Today’s high-school student without sports is tomorrow’s college student racking up debt and next week’s angry, unemployed or precarious worker. As this government takes away our dreams, they shouldn’t be surprised when we won’t let them sleep.

Taking back the night in Parkdale By Karen Nickel Dialog Contributor
Toronto’s ‘Take Back the Night’ (TBTN) rally and march took place in my neighbourhood of Parkdale on Saturday. This event, held for the past 32 years in a different location each year, is organized by the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre / Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/ MWAR) who unfortunately are still very needed and necessary. Take Back the Night began in the 70s, started by concerned and angry women as a way to reclaim the night, ‘occupy’ neighbourhood spaces, collectively resist fear and very loudly say NO! to sexual assault and violence against women. I have gone to this event every year since attending my first one in Winnipeg during the late 80s. It is one of the main reasons I applied to George Brown College’s assaulted women and children’s counsellor/ advocate program. I wish it and my program never needed to exist. After 32 years of Taking Back the Night, plus 40 years of TRCC/ MWAR’s work, I would have thought that we wouldn’t need to still be holding rallies and marches to stop sexual violence against our sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, daughters and ourselves. But we have been horribly disappointed by the continuation of this senseless and unspeakably painful assault on all of us. It is the silence and silencing that TBTN directly challenges. Survivors of sexual violence not only have the
physical, psychological, and emotional trauma of rape and sexual assault to combat but they also have the lateral violence of ignorant comments of people who might whisper, “What did she do, wear, or say to bring this on herself? Why was she out at night?” Instead of saying to people who rape, excuse rapists or tell rape jokes that, “It’s not her fault, it’s yours! For raping, excusing rape, or thinking rape is funny.”

Because of this, N.S was anonymous, a Muslim woman veiled; she cannot share her identity or her story because of a publication ban. What she did provide was a passionate and angry call “to end the plague of sexual assault” to “speak out against sexual violence” and to support and empower survivors of sexual assault. A crowd of 500 people then marched through Parkdale chanting, “Women Unite! Take Back the Night!”, repeated refrains of “We have the right to walk at night! Stop rape now!” and “Whose body? Our body!” as we blocked traffic, taking back King Street, then Jameson Avenue, then Queen Street, and back to the Masaryk Cowan Community Centre. Women, transfolk and children danced, chanted and sang their way through Parkdale, reclaiming the streets as a community, resisting fear, and joyfully and loudly drawing the line and saying No! to sexual violence.

Ontario students create own movement
By Katherine DeClerq CUP Ontario Bureau Chief
OTTAWA (CUP)—In Quebec, hundreds of thousands of students have gathered over the summer to protest the government’s decision to raise tuition fees and enact Bill 78, an emergency law passed on May 18 that restricts protests and picketing on university grounds. While the movement has received international attention in the media, its most direct impact has been on Quebec’s neighbouring province. Between May and August students gathered in Ontario to discuss and protest rising tuition fees in preparation for some action of their own. During the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) annual general meeting, the issue of solidarity with Quebec was discussed and a donation of $30,000 was sent towards the movement’s legal funds. “It was voted that the federation donate $30,000 to support students fighting Bill 78 and fighting the many arrests and whatnot that have happened as a result of the government’s crackdown on students,” explained Sarah Jayne King, chairperson for CFS-Ontario. “Provincially, we are donating $3,000 to the same fund. “ During the Ontario general meeting, the discussion about solidarity with the Quebec cause changed into one of provincial action. Tuition fees in Ontario are the highest in the country, with each full-time student paying on average $5,366 a year. Fees increased by 4.3 per cent from 2011 to 2012 and students will see a continuous increase unless provincial policy is changed. In addition to arguments over the financial struggle of post-secondary education, there was also much discussion regarding the quality received — including professorstudent ratios, privatization of curriculums and the worth of undergraduate and graduate degrees. Debates and forums are being planned by CFS-Ontario regarding the purpose and quality of post-
secondary education. “We are seeing students inspired by what is happening in Quebec and students are ready to take action,” explained King. “One of the discussions around this is how do we develop capacity in Ontario and how do we encourage more people to get involved in this struggle. We are planning on having an activists assembly [in October where] we’ll bring 500 students together to have the opportunity to discuss post-secondary education issues and other issues affecting students and the broader austerity agenda.” The Ontario Student Mobilization Coalition (OSMC) was another organization whose foundation was rooted in solidarity action. The group’s goal is to rally students together in support of the movement in Quebec and to facilitate protests towards a more accessible and free post-secondary education in Ontario. “The very first rally was absolutely a solidarity rally,” explained Laura Dolan, member and co-spokesperson for OSMC. “We called a debriefing after the rally, and a few of us got together to discuss more Free education was a demand at a Toronto protest on June 5 detailed plans for solidarity and what we wanted to accomplish in Ontario — and from there it kind of happened organically.” While many students support the work being done by the CFS and OSMC, there is some concern that money is being sent to aide Quebec students in their struggle that won’t have any direct impact on Ontario — education is a provincial matter after all. Student unions are directly participating in rallies and actively speaking out against Bill 78 and the tuition Mohammad Ali Aumeer, the Student Association’s director of Education and hikes.

Jereme Bedard-Wen, interim spokesperson for the Coalition large de l’Association pour une Solidarite Syndicale Etudiante (CLASSE), sees solidarity as a way of fighting government policy and proving to society that it isn’t just a small group of entitled students that are desperate for lower tuition fees. “Solidarity is always heartening in a struggle where the government, our government, has really attempted to isolate students and the components of the movement. “Seeing that we are in fact not alone, and that there are support outside of Quebec… is extremely touching for students here.

tency is the key towards the success in Quebec and that it took over a year and a half to get to where they are now. If Ontario were interested in facilitating a similar movement, it would have to do the same thing and dedicate themselves completely to the cause. However, if a general strike is the ultimate goal of the Ontario movement, than students are out of luck. “In Quebec, student unions are covered under the Union Act, so they have the legal right to strike; whereas in Ontario, we are covered under the Corporations Act, so we have no legal right to strike, and that is a really big barrier,” explained Dolan. This won’t stop students from trying to change policy in other ways. The CFS has been providing forums for discussion and monetary legal aide to Quebec, while the OSMC is going to focus on information decimation — debunking myths about post-secondary education and informing student unions of what they can do to help the cause. “The standards and situation for students and colleges in Ontario are dire. We struggle with high tuition for very low quality of education. The government is hiding behind the 30 per cent off tuition grant, which doesn’t do anything. Students can’t get it,” explained Cohen. “It wouldn’t be fair to say we were just for solidarity for Quebec because this is more than Quebec, more than just Canada … We are calling for free and accessible education everywhere.” With approximately 25 rallies in the last four months, the Ontario movement is well on its way. The OSMC has said that Ontario will not likely see another rally for a few months, but it will be starting to create some consistency in their message in hopes of following Quebec’s two-year journey towards mass mobilization.

Frosh @ GBC
The frosh week at George Brown College was a smash hit. It was indeed a gala event as expected. Frosh 2012, which ran over the span of four days across St. James, Casa Loma, Waterfront, and Ryerson, welcomed all the freshmen for their new semester at GBC. The event featured performances by Canadian singer cum songwriter Fefe Dobson and mentalist Haim Goldenberg. It also included fashion show by the Mosaic club, a performance by the band Vibe Direct and a magic freak show by Monsters of Schlock. Other major attractions were henna artists, cartoonists, BBQ, photo booth, vendors, inflatable game (Jacob’s ladder) and video games. Going with the ‘frosh’ attitude, the rest of the story is presented in pictures, which is more fun.

GBC fitness centres working out new space By Preeteesh Peetabh Singh Dialog Reporter
Working out will work out to be a better experience this winter for the students of George Brown College (GBC). The fitness center at the St James campus will see a massive upgrade, which will provide students with terrific facilities for free. GBC realizes the importance of fitness in a student’s life and is striving hard to keep up the athletics, recreation and fitness facilities to meet the needs of its students. GBC’s efforts can be seen with the construction of a new fitness centre at the St. James campus. According to Ed Mark, GBC’s manager of athletics and recreation, the 26,000 square feet centre being built on the sixth floor of the building is a 100 per cent student-funded project. The Michael Thomas Group has taken charge for its construction. With a budget of $2.2 million the new fitness centre will include modern weight machines, cardio, treadmills, TV screens, aerobics, shower
rooms, locker and towel service. “It is shaping up magnificently” said Steve Banton, the site manager from the Michael Thomas Group. The closed roof top area will be very spacious as it will be four to five times bigger than the current gym, and will have a lot of natural lighting. Mark said, “I hope that the new fitness centre will increase participation.

Star striker returns to the Huskies By Preeteesh Peetabh Singh Dialog Reporter
If you love sports, you have to love comebacks. Returning this season, after a gap of little more than three years, to play for the Huskies men’s soccer team is the all time leading goal scorer for George Brown College (GBC), Noel Ellerton. Ellerton started playing for Huskies in 2007, when he played only two games in the whole season. For the next two seasons he amassed a staggering 38 goals in 30 games, scoring on an average of 1.27 goals per game. This feat won him athlete of the year for GBC in 2008 and 2009. It also made him the second alltime goal scorer in the history of the OCAA. Things seemed to be going well when tragedy struck. His father passed away due to a heart attack while his mother had already died due to cancer when he was 12 years old. The incident left him on his own. “Those were tough times, but I guess we have to deal with it and move on in life”, said Ellerton. Ellerton left school in difficult circumstances and secured a job with a construction company where he has been working full time for the past four years. The Huskies striker is now back to complete his third year of the construction and engineering program at GBC and is set to be the first person in his family to graduate from college. While he was away from GBC, he played for the Toronto Celtic Foot-
Noel Ellerton at the athletics centre of GBC’s St. James campus. Photo: Preeteesh Peetabh Singh / Dialog ball Club in the prestigious Provincial Elite League and performed well for them. Additionally, he helped Huskies soccer coaches Richard Kriwan and Lucky Boothe in training the boys. Shifting focus this season, the left forward player is hoping to help the Huskies make it to the top two teams at the OCAA and advance to the nationals that will take place in November in Vancouver. “The team is shaping up pretty well, with a good combination of veterans and youngsters. The prospects are
looking good”, said Ellerton who is also the co-captain of the team. Pointing to the facilities provided by GBC to its players, Ellerton said that it is a lot better than previous years. Earlier, physiotherapy came with a fee of $70, while it is free these days. They did not get uniforms or tracksuits during his past stint with GBC, but today the scenario has changed and players get more assistance, which is good for their development. Showing his commitment to the Huskies, Ellerton said, “I love playing for GBC. I have had a lot of in-
dividual success in my life. Now, I want the whole team to do well. The coaches Richard and Lucky have really worked hard for the team, and we should reward them with some wins under our belt.” Ellerton suffered an injury in the first game against Fleming College, spraining his ligament in the knee. He missed the game against St Lawrence, which was eventually postponed due to rain, but was back against Durham on Thursday.
