Activities
Your Students’ Association is pleased to provide you with great activities throughout the year. Most of the events are free or a nominal fee is charged to offset costs. Keep you eyes peeled for hysterically funny comedians, fabulous bands and other acts. A great deal of our events take place in the Rattlers Den, your student lounge. There is always something going on, and if you have a awesome idea, stop by the office and let us know.
The Den
The Den is closed for renovations until September 2010. The SA will still be putting on Pub nights and other fun events throughout the year. Check your student handbook for dates or follow us on twitter or facebook or just watch for our promotional posters.
Bulletin Boards

The Students’ Association, through Foster Parents Plan of Canada sponsors a needy child in Honduras. For a few dollars per year, we help brighten the present and the future of this incredible child. If you wish to make a donation or write to our foster child, please stop by our office for more information.
Peer Support
Our Peer Support Centre officially opened in October of 1997 and in a short time has become the “gem” of the Students’ Association. We won the acclaimed Bacchus Canada – 1999 – 2000 Campus of the Year Award for Alcohol Education. The greatest priority of the Centre is “peers helping peers.” All of our students are ensured professional service and access to quality resources pertaining to a variety of societal issues.
