Since it emerged on May 13, the University has continually sought to seek an amicable and peaceful end to the protest encampment on the Grad House Green.

As part of our ongoing commitment to continue productive and respectful dialogue we are pleased that we have an agreement to start confidential discussions with members of the encampment facilitated by a mediator.

As the process is confidential the University will only provide further updates that are agreed upon between both parties.

At the end of last week the University of Waterloo issued a legal Trespass Notice to members of the protest encampment on the Grad House Green. The Trespass Notice required the encampment to leave immediately or face consequences in accordance with the Trespass to Property Act.

Unfortunately, the encampment remains in place in violation of Waterloo policies, and the law.

Today, lawyers representing the University served court documents to start a legal process to enforce the Trespass Notice and end the encampment.

The University is seeking an interlocutory injunction to end the encampment. Subject to the court’s approval, documents related to the legal process will be made available publicly through our legal counsel’s website.

In line with our commitment to be transparent in our interactions with encampment protesters, the University is making the legal documents filed today available for our community to read.

Subject to the court’s approval, further documents related to the legal process will be made available publicly through our legal counsel’s website.
