Press paws on studying, and snuggle up to a St. John Ambulance therapy dog for some stress relief. 

Visit your favourite stress relief every Tuesday from 12-1pm in the Student Health and Wellness Activity Room.

Need a break? 

Drop by the Student Health and Wellness activity room and join our Peer Wellness Educators for an afternoon of arts and crafts.

We'll be painting wood slices that can be made into ornaments.
