Stances

Stances are based on the beliefs of the TDSA Board of Directors. They are brought forward by any member of the board and voted on. Do you disagree with a stance, or think it can be improved? Let us know [email protected]
Is there a stance that you want to see brought forward? Get in touch with one of Board members to get it on the agenda.
We welcome all community feedback, prioritizing the views of the student body and their needs.

access to reproductive healthcare
Written after the legislative attack on reproductive rights in the USA.

Internation Decade for People of African Descent
Brought forward by Director Carwyn Holland of the 2021-22 year, a stance in support of fostering an inclusive community for Black students.

access to Menstruation products
Periods affect half the population, and are thus a cost on half the population. Here is why we do what we do; why we allocate money to the Menstruation Station and Hygiene Product Fund.

Harm Reduction
TDSA's position on reasonable approaches to drug usage rules on campus.

Camera Usage in ​Synchronous Classes
First introduced in light of the COVID-19 pandemic forcing classes to be hosted remotely, students still have conflicts over their privacy and permission to have their cameras off in class.

Solidarity with the palestinian people
In response to the violence witnessed in the media, with many students feeling helpless.

Conflict in the Middle East
In response to the violence happening in the middle east, the TDSA, TCSA, and TGSA have release a combined stance. 
This archive was passed in July of 2022, to better organize stances, the webpage, and create an end-life for stances which are no longer relevant, timely, or if they are later found to not reflect students' interests. They are maintained in this way to support transparency, and demonstrate the values of previous years' Boards.
vaccine mandate
UPDATED, July 2022: This stance has been archived as the ask was met or is no longer pertinent, though, the spirit of the stance, the TDSA’s care for and insistence upon institutional measures for students’ health and community wellbeing, remain intact.

Blood Bans
This stance is archived due to Canada's changed policy as of Sept 2022, which is now made to be more inclusive.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings. ​
