So excited to be down in Halifax with our StudentsNS squad for Advo Week!! We’ve been working hard to research, identify and build meaningful recommendations for policies affecting post-secondary students, and now’s our time to talk about it.

Today, we kicked off our Advocacy Week by meeting with MLA Ben Jessome, the Liberal Critic for Advanced Education! It was great to chat about work-integrated learning, Open Educational Resources, and international student healthcare. #snsadvoweek #nspse #nspoli

It's Day 2 here at CASA Advocacy Week 2022! ✅ Students are no strangers to mental health challenges, and the pandemic has not helped! Here's what CASA members are asking for! #cdnpse

After all the hours spent building recommendations and hosting advocacy meetings, I’m so proud to see the release of the new COVID-19 Grant for post-secondary students. To everyone who helped make this a reality, thank you so much. Students deserve this investment. StudentsNS

Around 11,000 post-secondary students who receive Nova Scotia Student Assistance will receive a one-time COVID-19 grant of $875 to help them pay their bills. The grant will be automatically deposited into eligible students' bank accounts in March. #novascotia #nspoli

Today, we had the opportunity to speak before the @nsleg’s Standing Committee on Human Resources alongside Advanced Education on the topic of affordability for post secondary students post-pandemic. The full recording can be accessed at youtu.be/E1PatUjvFjo. #nspse #nspoli

Mom is always the first to hype me up 😂 I’m beyond proud to be this year’s recipient of the Sr. Carmel Losier Award and can’t thank StFX University and StFX Students' Union enough for this incredible honour. What a way to end off my time as a student leader at X!
