MESSAGE FROM YOUR STUDENT ASSOCIATION

While many celebrated Thanksgiving, the world bore witness to the devastating acts committed in Israel and Palestine. We at the Student Association of George Brown College recognize these heartbreaking reports, and images of the violence and devastation taking place in these parts of the world, have a profound and lasting impact on students and members of the GBC community. 

On behalf of the SAGBC, we recognize that there are many who have connections to the Middle East and may be overcome with worry and concern for family, friends, and loved ones. Our collective thoughts go out to those affected by this ongoing conflict.
