Join the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Unit (EDI-RO) on a global taste adventure! On March 20 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, all Staff and Faculty are invited to our office in EC5 for a Warm Welcome Open House. Immerse yourself in flavours from around the world with an array of drinks. From Laban Ayran from Turkey, Sorrel from West Africa, Mango Lassi from India, ginger beer and different flavoured coffees and teas from around the world, there is something for everyone’s taste. 

On May 9th and 10th, 2024, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University will be hosting the 2024 Inter-Institutional Forum of the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education. 

Join us for a sharing circle exploring how we can build ethical, reciprocal, and community‑led relationships with Indigenous partners in research and teaching! Indigenous knowledge holders will share teachings and experiences that invite us to reflect on trust‑building, accountability, and long‑term relational commitments. The gathering will conclude with a brief Reflection Walk to support personal commitments and deeper learning.

Join Monique Chambers, Senior Training Specialist from EDIRO and Stacey Jacobs, Education Coordinator, Sexual & Gender-based Violence Prevention from SVPRO in building a culture of consent, care, belonging and respect on our campus.

Dr. Sarah Connors (she/her), Indigenous Naturopathic Doctor & Birth Doula, will dive into all things menstruation and hormones in relation to PCOS and Endometriosis. We will look at how PCOS and Endometriosis can impact your experience of the menstrual cycle, dispel some of the common myths about these conditions, and chat about strategies to support you in living with these conditions. There will be time for a Q&A to ensure all your burning questions are answered!
