   • Welcome French students!

   • (OEC): Council elections are coming up! Please refer to the council bulletin board for more details.

   • (SA) Ice cream party for seniors is going to be held Friday 5/2 during activity.

3. Restorative justice motion:

   • The motion has changed a lot after meeting with the staff.

   • Restorative justice comes in after the base consequences. This helps the students learn how to be responsible and even be able to self-report to colleges.

   • This process is about reintegration.

   • We are not changing anything to due with base consequences.

   • If they are found guilty after going to Jcomm they can go back and do restorative justice.

   • With these changes we are confident we will have support from the staff.

   • This does not seem like much has changed. It’s on the right track and still a good motion that has had a lot of hard work put into it.

   • Amendment: “Regardless of J'Comm's ruling, a student can opt in for Restorative Justice.”

     • There will be a trial period for this motion.

     • Jcomm is more about was the law followed.

     • The staff does not want the students to try and avoid their consequences.

     • Debate closes.

   • Amendment passes.
