Update on July 6: As the University has agreed to withdraw its claim and injunction proceeding once the encampment is vacated, the notice of trespass has been removed.
To All Encampment Participants,
This is a notice under the Trespass to Property Act, R.S.O.1990, c. T. 21. You are hereby given notice that you are immediately prohibited from:

- Occupying, gathering, or remaining at the University of Waterloo property, including at the Encampment between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. unless specifically authorized; and,
- Gathering for the purpose of an Encampment at the University of Waterloo or in a manner inconsistent with our policies.
You have been asked verbally and in writing to leave the premises and have not complied with the request.
If you do not comply and remain in the Encampment and/or continue to participate in prohibited activities at the University of Waterloo, the University will pursue consequences under University policies, and/or agreements, and the law.
This notice may be enforced under the provisions to the Trespass to Property Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21, by any other legal means available to the University of Waterloo.
