Have you recently been accepted into a co-op work term for Spring 2026? If so, you will require a co-op work permit to complete this work in Canada. This is separate from your study permit. If you don't already have one, we recommend applying online right away. Work permit processing is very delayed in Canada so please apply early. You can join this workshop to go over the online application with your International Student Advisor.

Join Sara to take some time for YOU and connect with nature!  On this Winter Walk you will learn how the nature surrounding our campus can bring you peace, joy, and mindfulness during this busy time of year. Dress for the weather to explore our campus trails!

The start of a new term can feel exciting, overwhelming, or a mix of both - especially in winter. As part of THRIVE WEEK, this session offers a gentle space to pause, reflect, and ground yourself as you settle into the term. Whether you’re new to campus or returning, join us for calm conversation, guided reflection, and a reminder that it’s okay not to have everything figured out yet.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to connect and grow together! 

Join this session to learn about the benefits of volunteering and getting involved with your local community. We will discuss volunteer opportunities and agencies and take questions from the audience!
