Ongoing Programs

All Centre programs and events are free and held at The Centre, unless otherwise noted.

Our programs include:

Drop-In Centre

Come relax, study and socialize in our comfy lounge with couches, kitchen, dining table, computers and Wi-Fi.

Peer Support Program

The Peer Support Program is designed to offer students and community members with individual support from Centre staff and short-term group support from peers who are addressing similar, self-identified lived experiences. Centre staff are available for free, confidential, limited support including active listening, advocacy and referrals for a variety of concerns.  Our group and individual support is based on principles of feminism, anti-oppression, and brief solution-focused models.

Child Space

An unsupervised area with books, toys, and art supplies where you and your child can relax and play on campus.

Nursing Corner

A safe, private, cozy corner to breast/chest/bottle feed your child on campus. It has curtains that you can draw for privacy if you wish, two comfortable chairs to sit on, and useful parenting resources.  The Centre also has full kitchen including fridge, stove and microwave for your use.

Community Cupboard

The Centre has food available for those who may need it (in partnership with the UTSU Food Bank).  No registration or asking necessary – just come by and take what you’d like from our Community Cupboard.  The Centre also has a fridge, stove and microwave for heating or cooking meals.

The Spice

The Centre hosts free community cooking sessions of nutritional lunches throughout the school year. Join us from noon to 3pm every Thursday!  No cooking experience or skills necessary.
