Annual awareness-raising events centered on sexual violence are part of the University of Waterloo’s prevention strategy, supporting its goal of promoting a consent culture on campus. These events provide important opportunities to intentionally generate dialogue about sexual violence, advance consent literacy, and build a campus community that prioritizes sexual violence prevention, health, and well-being.

GRIEVE AND WEAVE WITH ZARA RAFFERTY
Grief takes many forms, grieving relationships, people, parts of ourselves, or eras of life we’ve outgrown or had to leave behind. Grieve & Weave is a welcoming space for students to come together, share conversations about grief in all its forms, and find connection through creativity. As we talk, we’ll keep our hands busy knitting, crocheting, weaving, or working on another fibre-based project. Bring your own project or take what you need from the space, and join us in creating room for reflection, connection, and care.
