Ryerson students rallied Nov. 2 in support of the Canadian Federation of Students’ (CFS) National Day of Action to fight tuition fees. The morning began with a free breakfast on Gould Street provided by the Continuing Education Students’ Association of Ryerson (CESAR), followed by performances and speakers with the theme of access and affordability of education. Supporters of the ‘Fight the Fees’ campaign marched along Yonge Street to Queen’s Park where they were joined by students from across Ontario to demonstrate to the provincial government the urgency of having affordable education. The CFS campaign aims to get free education in Ontario by eliminating tuition fees, converting student loans into non-repayable grants and removing interest from existing student debt.
