Referendum

Prize Draw   |  Frequently Asked Questions 

The FSU needs your help to support food security across its campuses.

From March 4 to March 6,The Fanshawe Student Union (FSU) will be holding a referendum, asking student members to vote on whether or not they want to implement a $2.00 per semester ancillary fee increase. Fanshawe College has also agreed to match these funds should the referendum pass.

With this additional funding, the FSU aims to promote food security for its student members by improving existing food programs across all campuses, ensuring the sustainability of the student union’s food bank, and increasing healthy affordable food options at the FSU’s campus eateries.

By voting in the referendum, students can also enter into a draw with $3,500 in prizes available to be won.

Over the years, the FSU has committed itself to supporting students in need through The Sharing Shop and continued efforts to support healthy, affordable eating on campus. But we recognize that times are hard, and as more and more students struggle to put food on their tables, demand for our services has only grown. In order to keep up, we need your help.
