Check out our committee schedule and a description of what committees are. These are all open committees, so you can just pop on in!
We have board meetings two Mondays a month at 6pm, which are live streamed via our Facebook page. You can see past minutes and upcoming agendas, too.
We’re looking for many awesome volunteers throughout the year, and especially at the beginning of the term!
June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day, as established in 1996 by the Governor General of Canada, as a time to commemorate and celebrate the long-standing traditions, cultures, and history of the various Indigenous nations that continue to live across the country.
This June, we take the time to recognize and discuss the various movements, struggles, and triumphs which comprise the ongoing efforts of Pride, and the 2SLGBTQ+ community at large. This reflection ought to be not merely a consideration of where we stand now, of what is worthy of celebration or condemnation, but also a look into the history and future of 2SLGBTQ+ rights and acceptance in this country, and around the world.
Dear UVSS Members,
It has come to our attention that the SUB was vandalized with vulgar transphobic graffiti. To be clear, this was a premeditated hate crime carried out on the first day of Pride Month that the SUB was open.
Today, March 31st, we recognize and honour Transgender Day of Visibility, a day dedicated to celebrating and uplifting transgender people while educating ourselves about gender diversity. This day is an opportunity to show solidarity, raise awareness, and fight for transgender individuals in our community and everywhere.
Undergrad students who are members of the UVSS and are registered in at least 3 units of on-campus classes in September or January including co-op or distance students are automatically covered by the UVSS Enhanced Health & Dental Plan.
UVSS Members now have access to a flexible benefit model that offers students two different coverage options, the Enhanced Plan (higher coverage at higher cost) and the Basic Plan (lower coverage at lower cost).
Choose your coverage plan , mix and match portions of both, or opt out during the Change-of-Coverage Period each year.
