Community Involvement

Living in Residence is a great way to learn and gain experience outside of the classroom. In Residence, there are several ways to get involved with the community around you. You can start with joining one of the three student committees:
Sustainability Committee

The goal of the sustainability committee is to connect with residence students to create a more environmentally conscious community. The committee member volunteers facilitate programs based on their ideas throughout the year.

Student Engagement Committee

The student engagement committee is an opportunity for students to get involved in planning events for residence students! This committee aims to foster community engagement and consider personal development through a lens of equity, diversity and inclusion.

EDI Student Committee

The EDI student committee aims to connect residence students with similar EDI topic interests to engage and plan events in residence. Committee members will foster community engagement while maintaining a lens that focuses on strengthening equity, diversity and inclusion.

Special Interest Communities

We offer several special interest community floors in residence. Check out your options!

Designated Quieter Floor

These areas are for students who wish to live in a quieter environment during the school year.

“Quieter” means there should be no audible sounds outside of rooms, floor hallways, common areas and lounges. Extra consideration related to noise is expected during the December and April examination periods.

These standards apply to all residents and guests visiting these floors. Staff in this community will work with all members of the community to define these additional expectations at the start of the academic year.

In case of violations, residents should try to have a discussion amongst each other, or report to staff if unable to self-resolve.

Substance-Free Floor

This is an option for students who commit to maintaining a living environment free from substances, which include alcohol, tobacco, smokeless tobacco, cannabis, drugs, drug paraphernalia or illegally obtained prescription medications.

Residents of legal age of majority (19 in Ontario) are not allowed to possess and use these products within these designated areas and are expected to not return to these floors while under influence of substances.

To respect the rights of residents in this community, these expectations also apply to guests visiting these areas.

Single-Gender Floor

Every year there is a least one single-gender floor in residence. These floors are based on demand.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to providing students with an environment that promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion and is free of discrimination, injustice, and violence.
