Get to know the wellness services on and off campus and meet the Lakehead staff that will be here to support you throughout your journey as a Thunderwolf! There will be lots of activities, food, crafts, and fun! We can’t wait to see you there! 

This event is outdoors and weather-dependent. The rain date is Tuesday, September 9th.

Grab your fellow Thunderwolves and get ready to play Bubble Soccer! Spaces are limited for bubble soccer, so be sure to sign up in advance. Each bubble soccer registrant will be guaranteed a minimum of 15 minutes of playing time.

If you want to attend Rec The Yard but don’t want to play bubble soccer, you do not need to sign up in advance. There will be other games available for those who do not play bubble soccer, and cheerleaders are always appreciated! We can’t wait to see you there!

Prioritizing your well-being and taking care of yourself is a lot like nurturing a garden. Water, sunlight, and patience are important things that plants (and students!) need to thrive. Join Student Health & Wellness to intentionally plant seeds of self-care by creating your own mini garden and reflecting on a wellness routine that works for you. The mini garden will serve as a visual reminder to take time for yourself while discovering new strategies to recharge, de-stress, and cultivate growth. All supplies to create your garden of self-care will be provided! No artistic experience needed - just bring yourself and an open mind!

 Rain Location: Inside Simcoe Hall

Join Student Health and Wellness for Snoozefest, where you will play a life-sized board game called Sheeps and Scrolls, where your sleep habits decide your fate! Just like Chutes and Ladders, you'll climb toward better rest with good sleep hygiene and slide back for the not-so-great sleep decisions. You may also find yourself hanging out in a blanket fort! 

Learn how to build better sleep habits and win sleep-themed prizes while you're at it! Pyjamas are highly encouraged—and might even earn you bonus chances to win.

*The tipi raising at Lakehead started in 2017 in response to Indigenous students requesting a visible space to honour their presence and to highlight Indigenous representation on campus. With the support of community, it remains an important space for gatherings and cultural connection for students, staff and faculty from June to October.
