UWinnipeg Wesman Women’s soccer team launches petition to restore team after its suspension

The University of Winnipeg’s Wesmen Women’s soccer team members have launched a petition focused on restoring the women’s soccer team after last week’s announcement that the team would be suspended in 2025 due to financial challenges. City News reports that over 3,000 people have signed the petition. “We were told that fundraising is not an option,” said Wesman player Isabella Caligiuri. “Even though other teams are fundraising to support their programs.” UWinnipeg President Todd Mondor said that the decision to suspend the team was “regrettable” but necessary to maintain the university’s core programming.
