A message from the Student Association of George Brown College’s Board of Directors:
“The news of recent developments in Ukraine and Eastern Europe has inspired alarm amongst many members of the student community. What is unsettling global news for all, is also a distressing personal matter for those whose families, histories, and cultures are bound to the region.​The Student Association extends our care and support to all students affected by the current conflict in Ukraine, and recognizes that the impacts of this conflict are far-reaching and complex.We offer our solidarity with Ukraine and Ukrainian citizens across Canada and the world.We recognize that the acts of a government do not necessarily reflect the will of the people, and hold solidarity with Russian citizens who bravely oppose this violence.​Now and always, we continue to support efforts towards peace.​SAGBC supports are available to students who need them: the SAGBC Health Benefits program provides GBC students with free counselling through WeConnect’s Student Assistance Program. This service is available 24/7 and in over 100 languages. Call 1-888-377-0002 to speak with a trained counsellor.
