Build SFU launches heroes campaign

Build SFU is launching their heroes campaign for the fall semester, which will feature posters of students involved in the Student Union Building (SUB) project next to the campaign slogan, “Heroes of today building the campus of tomorrow.”

Students who have been involved with the project in any capacity can be featured on the posters, whether they sat on a committee, attended a workshop, or simply stopped by the office to ask a question.

At the conclusion of his presentation to the board, Marc Fontaine, Build SFU general manager, stated, “You can be a hero. You already are, all of you.”

Space Expansion Fund debt transfer

In the continued pursuit of resolving the General Fund’s outstanding debt of $1.44 million to the SFSS Space Expansion Fund, VP finance Adam Potvin brought a motion to board to transfer $500,000 from the General Fund to the Space Expansion Fund. The $500,000 was subsequently transferred to Build SFU, as their mandate is to expand space.

Potvin explained, “We’re transferring to Build SFU because there is not a great enough need for the money that is currently in the Space Expansion Fund.”

Board passed the motion, which leaves the total remaining debt at $944,000.

SFSS tablet and paper usage

VP university relations Moe Kopahi brought a motion to board to approve up to $7,000 to purchase tablets for usage by board, committees, and departments for outreach. He also moved that the SFSS ban the usage of paper for any society meeting unless necessary.

The first part of the motion concerning tablet purchase was referred to the Financial and Administrative Services Committee, while the proposal to ban paper was voted down unanimously.
