Hello and welcome to another special edition of Campus Beat. Amidst all the snow this January, it’s a very busy time on Queen’s campus! Elections and referenda campaign time is still very much underway for candidates and clubs under the Alma Mater Society through January 27th! In this episode, we are featuring coverage of the 16 campus groups and student clubs on the ballot for student fees during the upcoming AMS referendum. Due to the timing with which CFRC received information about what groups were going to referendum from the AMS Elections team this January, only one club was able to connect with us in time for recording and broadcast of a campaign interview. CFRC team members are reading the information provided to us about each group’s campaign in lieu of interviews to provide an opportunity for their message to be heard and they will be read verbatim, sometimes in first person. It is CFRC’s pleasure and privilege to support candidates and groups campaigning and we thank you for tuning in.
AMS members are reminded that voting for candidates and student fees takes place over three days on January 28th, 29th and 30th. Watch your Queen’s Emails for ballots and visit myams.org for more information about candidates, groups and the elections process.
In the meantime, let’s dive in to a conversation with one of the student clubs running a fee campaign followed by 15 segments featuring discussion of other student groups on the ballot in the AMS referendum. Thank you for joining us.
