The St. Paul’s Student Life Department is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Fletcher, our Residence Life Coordinator, is this year’s recipient of the Ontario Association of College and University Housing Officers (OACUHO) President’s Award.
While wandering on campus, you may notice that there are numerous red and orange ribbons tied to the bridge crossing Laurel Creek from Environment 3 to St. Paul’s. In 2016, the Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre began tying red ribbons to the bridge to honour and provide a gentle reminder of the lives of 4000+ missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people, as a part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

Join us for the Green Innovation Gathering, a collaborative event hosted by GreenHouse and FlintHub from the University of Waterloo in partnership with Assiniboine College. This gathering brings together young people and community partners, including the City of Brandon and ProteinMB, to tackle real-world sustainability challenges.
Participants will form teams to develop innovative solutions to problem statements presented by our community partners. Partners, mentors and subject matter experts will be on site to support teams and stands as an opportunity to broaden your professional network.
Teams can win prizes and gain access to a network that can help advance their ideas. Additionally, participants will receive a certificate of completion and earn digital gift cards for completing the event survey. Food and refreshments provided.
An optional Kickoff Circle will be held on Thursday, February 20, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the same location. This session offers insights into the problem statements, a chance to start brainstorming ideas and meeting the professionals and participants in a low-key setting. First Nations, Métis and Inuit folks are invited to stay after the circle for a sit-down dinner and chat with Indigenous entrepreneurs.
Don't miss this chance to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to a sustainable future!
