QPIRG Concordia’s Mandate:
The Quebec Public Interest Research Group at Concordia is a resource centre for student and community research and organizing. We strive to raise awareness and support grassroots activism around diverse social and environmental issues. Our work is rooted in an anti-oppression analysis and practice. We seek to make campus-community links and inspire social change through engaging, inclusive and non-hierarchical approaches.
QPIRG Concordia is committed to being inclusive and accessible to all. We are actively opposed to all forms of discrimination and oppression. QPIRG is a volunteer-driven, student-funded, non-profit organization that is independent from the Concordia administration and student union. Both students and community members are welcome to make use of our space and resources as well as participate in QPIRG projects.
QPIRG looks forward to seeing our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility reflected in our board membership.
IMPORTANT: please email us your interest before October 2, 2014: christina@qpirgconcordia.org
Board elections will take place at our Annual General Meeting on Thursday October 9th at 6:30pm, 1500, de Maisonneuve West, # 204.
