Over 500 support staff, faculty, and union allies shut down Mohawk College Fennell Campus today.

Let this be a message to the CEC. If they think it will be “business as usual” while support staff walk the picket line in defense of public education, they are sorely mistaken!

Members of OPSEU-SEFPO Local 240 and 241 - Mohawk College faculty and support staff - gathered today in support of the Save Our Colleges campaign.

Ontario has the lowest provincial funding for post-secondary education (PSE) out of any Canadian province. This has led to program cancellations, layoffs, and increased class sizes.

Ontario needs to increase PSE funding to the national average and to ensure that funds go to our classrooms, not to management’s gilded boardrooms. ✊🏼

We are deeply saddened at the announced closure of City School by Mohawk College.

The programs delivered by City School by Mohawk over the last near-decade are a key part of our community through the good jobs they create and the support and training they provide marginalized individuals at every stage of their educational and employment journey. The closure of City School will leave a significant gap in the programming available to struggling Hamiltonians from various diverse backgrounds who currently face barriers to post-secondary education.

It will profoundly impact current students and community partners and represent a loss to the City of Hamilton.

Please sign our open letter of support to keep City School Open!

The crisis playing out in Ontario Colleges was predicted a decade ago. As consecutive Conservative governments slashed funding to the system, international student tuition increasingly filled the gap. This was a ponzi scheme, unethical, and harmful to the quality of education received by both international and domestic students.
