#ITSTARTS 2024
Welcome
Between March 18 - 22, 2024, there will be various virtual and in-person opportunities for all members of our campus community to learn about and celebrate the various cultures represented at the Orillia Campus and in our larger community. The #ITSTARTS campaign is a Simcoe County-wide public awareness campaign designed to increase and celebrate diversity and belonging, while reducing discrimination and racism.
We encourage all students, staff, and faculty to get involved with initiatives throughout the campaign!
