The aims and objectives of this program are to encourage safety, reducing the opportunity for personal injury, crime and unreported incidents. While maintaining a safe, secure and healthy campus environment.

Campus Watch will help to ensure a safe working and living environment for students, staff, faculty and visitors.

Security Services, Lakehead University Residence and Thunder Bay Police Service are working together to achieve an environment that allows anyone to report when a crime or suspicious activity is observed.

When working together we make our campus safer for everyone.
