The Consent Culture Calendar is a collaborative initiative between the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office (SVPRO) and the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA).
We hope to raise awareness about the support and services offered by SVPRO to those in the UWaterloo community who have experienced sexual violence or have been affected by it. The bright and warm calendar will also serve as a physical representation of our dedication to building a culture of consent at UWaterloo and provide a visual reminder of hope, healing and belonging while highlighting the creative, diverse, and innovative nature of our students.
Tackling the stigmas about dating that involve neurodiverse people created through ableism by typically developing members of society will be the main outcome and focus of this workshop. It will also shine light on misconceptions and provide best practices for dating for people who are, or are in a relationship with, neurodivergent people.

Make Your Own Self Care Kit
Self-care kits are an increasingly popular form of self-soothing and comfort, “giving you access to a unique collection of items that will make you smile and lift your spirits on an off day” (quote from, and inspiration can be found in Kathleen Danielson’s article: A College Student’s Guide On How To Create An Affordable Self-Care Kit, accessed here).
Come to the Grad House Green Room on March 20th from 12 – 2 and make your own self-care kit. All supplies provided, no cost! The Green Room is located on the ground floor where the wall is painted green!
While there, hang out with other grad students, SVPRO (the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office), and the GSA.
Everyone who makes a kit will be entered into a draw to win a wellness prize pack, including a colouring book, journal, tea and mug, and a weighted lap blanket!
