Students across the province are protesting recent changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) — the post-secondary financial aid system will go from a majority grant structure to a majority loan structure in the new school year.
Hundreds of students rallied outside Queen’s Park in Toronto, while hundreds more walked out of class in Waterloo and Ottawa in protest. Earlier this week, high school students in Oshawa also led a walkout.
More than 200 people, including high school and university students, protested in St. Catharines, Ont., outside Brock University and in front of local NDP MPP Jennie Stevens’ office, who was there to support them.
