Election Announcement 2025/2026

As everyone is officially settling into fall classes, we are approaching the By-Election for the SUO Board of Directors. We recognize that our student body is currently facing unprecedented hardship with the continuation of some online classes and the repercussions that have followed suit. That being said, it has never been more important to engage in a Student Union election. Get out there and vote, or take the plunge and run for SUO’s Board of Directors! Feel free to contact our Chief Returning Officer, Grace Halpin, via email at chiefreturningofficer@suo.ca for additional information regarding this election.
