Attention University of Toronto students:<\/p>\n

The Bikechain program<\/a>, the great University of Toronto program that provides free bike repair services and education to U of T students, is holding a referendum right now trying to get student approval for a $0.25 (yes, just a quarter) student tuition surcharge to provide continuing stable funding to the program.<\/p>\n

The referendum is being held March 7-9 (that’s Wednesday to Friday of this week) as part of the U of T student union elections. Students can vote at the following locations: Sydney Smith, Old Victoria College, Gerstein Library, Woodsworth College, Bahen Centre, and University of Toronto at Missassauga North and South Buildings.<\/p>\n

If you’re a U of T student and a cycling supporter, please get out and vote, and get your friends out to vote too (the initiative failed last time around because not enough people cast a vote — they need a certain amount of voter turnout in order for the initiative to pass).<\/p>\n
