The Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café is a social writing group. Unlike traditional peer feedback-based writing groups, we don’t read each other’s finished writing: instead, we write together to create a community of writers who can cheer each other on during what is often an isolating, difficult journey!

The Waterloo Handmade Charity Market is a student-led fundraising event supporting the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society, where Waterloo students sell handmade items like crafts, art, and jewelry. Vendors contribute a $20 booth fee, with 100% of the proceeds donated to KWHS, and visitors who donate $1 or more receive a printed photo or postcard of an adoptable animal. The event aims to create a welcoming campus atmosphere that promotes animal welfare while showcasing student creativity.

The Innovation Open House is the perfect opportunity to casually connect with fellow driven students and explore the exciting world of innovation and entrepreneurship options on campus.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) occurs every year on December 3rd and aims to “promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.” The day was proclaimed in 1992 by the United Nations and continues to be urgently relevant as communities around the world strive towards sustainability, equity, and inclusion.

This year, we are celebrating collaboration by uplifting and promoting the events happening across our networks. By spotlighting the diverse initiatives organized by partner networks, we help strengthen connections, broaden reach, and demonstrate that meaningful progress comes from working together toward common goals of accessibility and disability inclusion.
