Anti-Racism and Anti-Hate Supports

Between December 15 and January 30, 2026, there may be significant delays in our response to disclosures submitted through the Advocate system.

During this period, individuals may experience a wait of up to 10-15 business days before a member of our team is able to reach out to schedule an initial consultation. If you need immediate or ongoing mental health support, we encourage you to connect with Campus Employee Health and Counselling Services or other available support resources.

Please know that every disclosure matters to us, and our team will be in touch as soon as we are able.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
