TRUSU

Learn to Swim Level 1
2026-01-06 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Vancouver) | Canada Games Pool Aquatic Centre, 910 McGill Road, Kamloops, BC, V2C 6N6, Canada
Swimming is not only a great way to stay healthy and fit—it’s also a vital life skill, especially in a place like Kamloops, home to over 100 lakes and rivers just an hour’s drive away.
Many students at TRU want to enjoy these outdoor water activities—but not everyone knows how to swim. That’s why the TRUSU Services Committee has partnered with the Canada Games Aquatic Centre to offer Learn-to-Swim lessons exclusively for TRU students!
Session Outline:
The January Learn-to-Swim Session will be a 5-weeks long (10-lessons) program and will cover the basics of swimming and pool safety protocols. The program starts on January 05th and runs until February 05th in the Canada Games Aquatic Centre within the Tournament Capital Centre.
Registration Options
There are two cohorts available to students with a max capacity of 6 participants in each cohort. Each participant can register in one cohort only. Complete schedule for each cohort is listed below.

Cohort 1: 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Post-secondary education is more expensive than ever. Between tuition, textbooks, and the rising cost of living, many students face difficult choices when it comes to stretching their budget. At TRUSU, we believe that no student should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from while working toward their education.
That’s why we’re helping make healthy, home-cooked meals more accessible through our Chef’s Package Program. Once a month, TRUSU provides free chef’s packages filled with ingredients to prepare a nutritious and delicious meal at home.
Join us on the second Wednesday of every month starting at 10:00 a.m. inside the TRUSU Building, where the TRUSU Services Committee will be handing out free chef’s packages to TRU students.
Supplies are limited and packages are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to stop by early to pick up yours.
Happy cooking—and bon appétit!

First Aid Kit Giveaway
2026-02-04 10:00 | TRUSU Building, 1055 University Drive, Kamloops, BC, V2C 0C8, Canada
For many years TRUSU has supported students throughout their studies and offered peace of mind through the extended health and dental plan should they get sick. While the union does its best to protect their members, accidents and injuries can occur anywhere – at home, at the workplace, while driving or while participating in sports events. They are not wished for, but they do happen.
Through the TRUSU Wellness Series, the union wanted to give students something that can help them respond effectively to common injuries and emergencies – a First Aid Kit. A First Aid Kit with proper supplies can help clean cuts, limit risks of infection and help an injury to heal such as a sprain. Whether it’s a minor or serious injury, it’s a good idea for households to have first aid kits available and fully stocked.
On Wednesday, February 04, 2026 the TRUSU Services Committee will be giving away First Aid Kits to students so that they have the essential items at home and are prepared for unforeseen medical emergencies. The event will start at 10:00 am inside the TRUSU Building and the committee has 100 FREE First Aid Kits to be given away to students on a first-come-first serve basis.
Supplies are limited. Make sure you stop by at the Services Committee table inside TRUSU building and get a First Aid Kit. Stay Safe!!
