Most student-led organizations at SFU have had the same funding since Y2K was in style…the first time. A lot’s changed since the 2000s, and historic times call for historic measures. While independent student societies continue to provide services by students, for students, our impact shrinks each year due to rising costs. Bring the life back to student life—vote YES to protect our student-led organizations from inflation this year forward.

Voting YES ensures that we are able to continue that work long into the future. This vote isn’t just about maintaining what we have now—it’s about protecting and improving the services that make your student experience better.

Wondering why we’re asking to adjust to inflation? Great question! Every year fees have remained the same as costs increase, eroding our ability to serve students. Over decades, the effect on our budgets and resources has been enormous. By linking fees to inflation moving forward, we ensure that student groups can continue providing the same level of resources and support without needing to ask for larger increases later. It’s a fair way to keep up with rising costs gradually. Protect our organizations from inflation and vote YES this referendum to support a vibrant and connected campus community where all students can thrive!
