The Students' Union currently operates seven resource centres. The Centres were created out of concern for the needs of students who are historically oppressed and marginalised. Each Centre serves as a peer resource and support centre and has a mandate to challenge oppression and discrimination on campus. For more information about any of the centres, contact the Director of Student Life.
