To our Community,
We stand in solidarity with the University of Waterloo against the horrible act of violence that took place on their campus Wednesday afternoon. We condemn violence of any kind and our hearts go out to those directly and indirectly impacted.
A post-secondary campus should be a safe and welcoming place, and one that is free of hate. We will continue to champion equity, justice, diversity and inclusion at snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ Langara College.
If you need support, below is a list of resources for our students, faculty, and staff.
Sincerely,
Paula
