Whats New!
Dear Friends of Egerton Ryerson.
The following letter was recently sent to the Premier and all MPPs on the Ryerson University name change. Obviously we are not trying to reverse the decision, but to flag the problems in the process. You can add your name to the signers’ list for an updated letter—not physically–but simply reply “Yes” or “Co-sign” and your name will be placed in alphabetical order after “yours sincerely.” Send it along this email to friends and colleagues who might join us!
Lynn McDonald, for the Outreach Committee

PS Send it to your own MPP—they notice letters from constituents more than group letters.
You can find your MPP’s name, if you don’t know it, by googling “MPP AND your postal code.” Easy!
Mission Statement:
To Advocate for and publicize an awareness and appreciation of the life and work of Egerton Ryerson, on the basis of scholarly research and to restore and defend his reputation.
Did You Know..
The decision to rename Ryerson University has been made and the name change started. But what about the real Egerton Ryerson? The one Ryerson students, faculty, and staff never heard about, but were instead bombarded with false accusations. Click to learn more.
Fundraising:
We aim to restore the reputation of Egerton Ryerson against erroneous /slanderous claims. Projects are planned that will require funding, some little, some much more. For example, a full-page ad in the Toronto Star is approx $5,000-7,000, and the Globe and Mail at 30,000. Half pages for both somewhat less but not as effective. Public events with zoom connections, to present the real Egerton Ryerson are under consideration and would require more modest funding, open meetings, podcast, and, webinar. Interested in helping?
