Campaigns / Advocacy

The OCAD Student Union is extremely concerned by the recent act of vandalism and use of antisemitic graffiti at the corner of Dundas and McCaul St. As this act was close to our campus, we want to take a moment to remind our membership that we do not tolerate hate of any kind, and we deeply condemn antisemitism in all its forms. It is important to us that all students feel safe on our campus, and we would like to offer our support to the OCAD U Jewish community at this time.

We have compiled a list of Mental Health Supports that can be accessed by all students, and we encourage anyone who may be struggling from this incident to reach out to the Student Wellness Centre by emailing swc@ocadu.ca or visiting the office in person on the 6th floor of 230 Richmond St W.
