Together In Community: A Collaborative Mural Project

"Each tile represents a heartbeat of our shared community."

Our first Together in Community mural painting session was a vibrant success; students, staff, and faculty united to fill the DC Fishbowl with a myriad of thoughtful designs that reflected their values. Each bold brushstroke contributed to a unique story that will ultimately form our growing campus mural.

Now, we're keeping this creative energy alive! Join the EDI-R office and Davis Centre Library for our second painting session on Thursday, December 4th, 2025 from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, as we continue transforming the mural into a living symbol of unity and belonging. No experience needed, just bring your creativity and community spirit.

See you there!

Are periods a game changer?

Imagine this: you’re an athlete who menstruates. You’ve been training hard for a big race just days away, but your period is heavy, and the pain makes it hard to even get out of bed. On top of that, your race uniform includes white biker shorts, and the fear of leaking is real. You don’t feel like you can talk to anyone because no one talks about periods. So, you push through in silence.
