We'd like to give a huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped to organize the RSU's picnic at Mooney's Bay last Friday, June 24th! We had a great time with all the Union members, other high school students, (who are hopefully now RSU members!), and Board of Trustees candidates, playing icebreakers and games, getting to know each other, and enjoying the various foods and drink that were brought!

If you want to participate in future RSU events, be sure to become a member and join our Discord server!

Reasons for the RSU endorsement:

• He is young, progressive, and experienced! He was a Green Party candidate in the Ontario 2022 election!
• He is an autistic self-advocate and believes in better representation for autistic and neurodivergent students
• As a former Student Senator, he strives to empower the Senate to give students a greater say on OCDSB affairs

The Rideau Students' Union will be holding a picnic/potluck at 5:00 p.m. on Friday June 24th at the Mooney's Bay hill (previously at Lansdowne but we had to move)! Anyone, including non-RSU members and friends are welcome! Please fill out the RSVP as soon as possible if you will attend, and add to this document if you wish to bring anything!

 We already moved our main communications to the RSU Discord Server (join this if you haven't already!), so it was natural to move out weekly meetings from Google Meet to Discord as well! Join us in the Main Voice channel every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. to get involved with the RSU and its projects!

Non-RSU members can sign up for our official newsletter here, where you will receive monthly updates on union happenings. RSU members (who've signed up) are already in our mailing list and therefore do not need to sign up for the newsletter again.

Our meeting with Jessie-Lee Wallace for the Board of Trustees project (see previous post) has been rescheduled to Thursday June 16th (still at 7:00 p.m.). The meeting link is
