@YUFAyorku How does the old saying go? Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Right. That. Put your students first - you and your admin. No students, no $, no jobs. Enough

[Kent Brown @Blu_Brown]

@YUFAyorku Suggest you and admin ALL focus on your students! They are paying your salaries and have been the ones who have truly suffered through COVID. No students, no $$ to bargain over #selfish

[Kent Brown @Blu_Brown]

@BenSteiner00 Do you think @OUAsport should take the time now or soon to ensure their leagues are included in the @ONgov ‘s definition of ‘elite amateur sports leagues’ so when the next wave happens they don’t get shut down? Not that it’s happened before or anything 🤷‍♂️

Doug Ford: Sign petition urging Doug Ford to designate OUA/OCAA athletes as "elite"! - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/AAeo9yZGXz via @CdnChange

@OUAsport an update would be great - is OUA ELITE or no? Of course it is but is @ONgov @fordnation going to step up, do the right thing and say #OUAisELITE? The silence is defining

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

The OUA's President and CEO, Gord Grace published an open letter.

He urges you to take action by posting on #OUAisElite, signing petitions and reaching out to your local MPP.

We asked. They were honest.

Checking in on those who have been impacted the most during these uncertain times in post-secondary sport.

The student-athletes.

Have a read at some of the impacts that are being felt by student-athletes all across Canada.

@belle379 @ABBedClosures All of that would be great data (total physical beds available, actual (staffed) beds available). Would help public see what is actually going on based on data

We've entered the fifth day since the news broke that both the OUA and OCAA were excluded from the list of sport leagues that were permitted to play.

While we're making ground, by no means are we close enough to where the leagues deserve to be.

Awesome! Keep up the push to get @OUAsport classified as an Elite Amateur Sport! #OUAisELITE

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

NEW FROM OUA: Lots of work going on behind the scenes.

“The OUA has held meetings and calls with Ministry staff, leaders, and MPPs; hired and worked with consultants; and called upon key influencers to help spark the desired change surrounding its currently designated status.”

@JBower_sports @BenSteiner00 @OUAsport @JBower_sports how’s all the behind the scenes stuff going to get @OUAsport defined as elite? Would love a public update from @OUAsport ! There are a lot of anxious and stressed ELITE amateur athletes and coaches waiting…

@ErnieHall44 @JBower_sports @BenSteiner00 @OUAsport @oua May it’s time for student-athletes to lend their support to the OUA in advocating for elite status with @fordnation - let @OUAsport work their process, while student-athletes advocate via emails to govt & social media

[Pat Sullivan @sullypat4]

Spend a week following an @OUAsport athlete and then try and convince someone they are not elite. We have never supported them like they should be and not excluding them from restrictions is tragic.

[All-Canadian Sports Network @AllCdnSportsNet]

Today’s opinion piece comes on the heels of numerous conversations with student-athletes and coaches following today’s announcement.

@DavidJuurlink He also said “sanami” which maybe is a hybrid tsunami/salami. Made me hungry and scared @ same time
