WE DID IT!!

GREAT NEWS! We are so pleased to announce that we have been accepted to become a student fee levy group!! WE ARE SO EXCITED to receive such support from the student body! ♥
HUGE thanks to the Greenhouse Collective: Jackie, Stefanie, Johanna, Marcus, Sheena and to all the amazing people who volunteered their time to campaign and spread to word! Special thanks to Antonio Starnino for the incredible graphic design for our media campaign.

We will now have an annual budget, which will allows us to operate sustainably. This fee levy is going to make a huge difference in our ability to operate, as well as ensure we keep the space open with regular programming for the benefit of all.

We look forward continuing to see you, whether you are a student or a community member, in our tea atrium, at our workshops, on the city farm at Loyola, and all over campus!

Thank you everyone!

VOTE YES for the Greenhouse Fee Levy

Some of you may know this already and some of you may not…  the greenhouse is going for a fee levy in the elections on March 26, 27 & 28th and we could really use your help!

Since the the Greenhouse project began, it has been running on the sweat and dreams of passionate people, and on their drive to find the resources to make these wonderful things happen. However, the greenhouse needs help in order to finally obtain a secured, annual budget, since we have reached a stand-still with one time start-up grants and bursaries.  Which means, without this fee levy,  we can no longer continue to keep the greenhouse operating the way we have all come to know and love.  To be perfectly clear, there is a possibility that the greenhouse will close without it.

SO COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT March 26, 27th and 28th between 10am – 8pm at locations all over campus! We`ll know on Friday if we were successful so stay tuned to our FACEBOOK!
