SUMMARY:The Price of Learning
DESCRIPTION:Every dollar that funds post-secondary education comes from somewhere. The real question is how those costs are divided between governments\, institutions\, and students\, and what happens when that balance changes.  \nThe way higher education is funded influences more than the price students pay. It can affect who is able to access post-secondary education\, the resources available to support learning\, and the role education plays in building a skilled workforce and stronger communities.  \nDrop by Student Street in Old Main from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and chat with the TRUSU Community Affairs Committee about how tuition works in British Columbia\, how it’s changed over time\, and how these decisions affect students across the province.  \nFollow the post-secondary education funding trends\, uncover who contributes to the system\, and explore how funding choices shape the experience of students across BC.

SUMMARY:Amnesty Urgent Actions Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, people around the world face violations of their internationally protected human rights simply for speaking out\, defending their communities\, or exercising their fundamental freedoms. While these situations can feel overwhelming\, there are meaningful ways to take action. \nThe TRUSU Amnesty Urgent Actions Program is one of those ways. \nThrough this initiative\, the TRUSU Equity Committee responds to 26 urgent human rights cases identified by Amnesty International by writing advocacy letters every 2 weeks to governments and decision-makers around the world. These letters call for immediate action to protect individuals at risk and uphold internationally recognized human rights. Together with millions of people participating in Amnesty International’s global movement\, these collective actions have helped secure justice\, protection\, and freedom for countless individuals. \nCome see the work we’ve been doing\nVisit the Equity Committee at our Amnesty Urgent Action outreach table to learn about the human rights cases we’ve responded to throughout the Fall 2026 semester. Explore the letters we’ve written\, discover the stories behind each case\, learn about successful outcomes from past urgent actions\, and speak with committee members about why these issues matter. \nWe’ll also show you how you can participate yourself. Whether you’ve never written an advocacy letter before or you’re interested in becoming more involved in human rights work\, we’ll walk you through the process and show you how simple it is to take action. \nDrop by for a few minutes or stay for a conversation. Learn about the human rights violations we’ve addressed this past semester\, discover how collective action creates real change\, and find out how you can become part of Amnesty International’s global movement for justice. \nTo explore all of the cases addressed through the TRUSU Amnesty Urgent Action Program\, visit our Amnesty Urgent Action webpage.

SUMMARY:Kamloops Premiere of The Way Out
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Kamloops Premiere of “The Way Out” produced by Matchstick Productions at the Paramount Theatre on Thursday\, December 1\, 2026. This event is a partnership between the TRU Students’ Union\, The Sun Peaks Freestyle Club\, and the Kamloops Search and Rescue.  \n The Way Out drops you right into the action across the globe\, from heavy Alaskan spine lines to local backyard laps in Whistler. It represents a path toward total freedom\, whether tracking Hoji\, Chris Rubens\, and Mark Abma across the iconic Swiss Alps\, or capturing breakout skier Lucy Leishman storming through Japan’s deep powder with three legendary freeskiers. The verdict is simple: the soul of skiing isn’t dead.

SUMMARY:Amnesty Urgent Actions Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, people around the world face violations of their internationally protected human rights simply for speaking out\, defending their communities\, or exercising their fundamental freedoms. While these situations can feel overwhelming\, there are meaningful ways to take action. \nThe TRUSU Amnesty Urgent Actions Program is one of those ways. \nThrough this initiative\, the TRUSU Equity Committee responds to 26 urgent human rights cases identified by Amnesty International by writing advocacy letters every 2 weeks to governments and decision-makers around the world. These letters call for immediate action to protect individuals at risk and uphold internationally recognized human rights. Together with millions of people participating in Amnesty International’s global movement\, these collective actions have helped secure justice\, protection\, and freedom for countless individuals. \nCome see the work we’ve been doing\nVisit the Equity Committee at our Amnesty Urgent Action outreach table to learn about the human rights cases we’ve responded to throughout the Fall 2026 semester. Explore the letters we’ve written\, discover the stories behind each case\, learn about successful outcomes from past urgent actions\, and speak with committee members about why these issues matter. \nWe’ll also show you how you can participate yourself. Whether you’ve never written an advocacy letter before or you’re interested in becoming more involved in human rights work\, we’ll walk you through the process and show you how simple it is to take action. \nDrop by for a few minutes or stay for a conversation. Learn about the human rights violations we’ve addressed this past semester\, discover how collective action creates real change\, and find out how you can become part of Amnesty International’s global movement for justice. \nTo explore all of the cases addressed through the TRUSU Amnesty Urgent Action Program\, visit our Amnesty Urgent Action webpage.

SUMMARY:Signal for Help: Learn to Recognize and Respond
DESCRIPTION:The TRUSU Equity Committee invites you to learn about the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Signal for Help campaign and how you can support someone experiencing abuse. Throughout November\, we’ll be connecting with students across campus to build awareness of the signal and share practical tools for responding in a supportive way.  \nWhat Is the Signal for Help? \nThe Signal for Help is a simple\, one-handed gesture someone can use to communicate that they need someone to safely check in and support them. It offers a way to reach out when speaking openly about abuse may not be possible.  \nThe gesture involves holding up one hand with your palm facing outward\, tucking your thumb into your palm\, and folding your fingers over your thumb.  \n \nRecognizing the signal is only the first step. Someone experiencing abuse may face barriers to asking for help\, including fear of judgment or concern for their safety. Knowing how to check in safely\, listen without judgment\, and follow their lead can help them feel supported.  \nThrough our Solidarity Actions Program\, TRUSU is amplifying this campaign by helping students recognize the signal and build confidence in supporting someone who may need help.  \nTake Action with Us \nThroughout November\, the Equity Committee will be visiting locations across campus to share information about the Signal for Help and how we can all play a role in responding to gender-based violence.  \nStop by one of our outreach tables to:  \n\nLearn to recognize the Signal for Help and understand what it means. \nExplore ways to check in safely and respond without judgment. \nLearn about gender-based violence and barriers to seeking support. \nFind out how to continue learning through the free Signal for Help Responder Mini Course. \n\nParticipate Online \nYou can also take part at your own convenience through the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s free Signal for Help Responder Mini Course.  \nThrough short\, interactive lessons\, you’ll learn about gender-based violence\, common misconceptions about abuse\, and ways to respond supportively when someone reaches out. Complete the course at your own pace and receive a certificate of completion after finishing all modules.  \nTake the Mini Course\n \nAbout TRUSU Solidarity Actions \nThis initiative is part of TRUSU’s Solidarity Actions Program\, which provides students with opportunities to support advocacy led by organizations working to advance equity\, human rights\, and social justice. Rather than creating our own campaigns\, we use this program to amplify existing initiatives by raising awareness\, encouraging meaningful action\, and connecting students with organizations leading this work.

SUMMARY:Getting to Campus
DESCRIPTION:Getting to campus should be the easiest part of your day. But for many students\, unreliable transportation\, long travel times\, and limited transit options can make simply getting to class a challenge. \nPublic transit connects students to more than just campus. It provides access work\, healthcare\, and community life. The way transit systems are designed\, from route planning and service frequency to pricing and infrastructure\, can determine whether transit is a convenient choice or a barrier to opportunity. \nDrop by Student Street in Old Main from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and chat with the TRUSU Community Affairs Committee about how transit decisions are made\, what creates an accessible transit system\, and how transportation shapes the student experience in Kamloops. \nDiscover how reliable\, accessible transit can remove barriers\, explore the current state of transit access\, and help build a better understanding of how transportation connects students to education and community.

SUMMARY:Signal for Help: Learn to Recognize and Respond
DESCRIPTION:The TRUSU Equity Committee invites you to learn about the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Signal for Help campaign and how you can support someone experiencing abuse. Throughout November\, we’ll be connecting with students across campus to build awareness of the signal and share practical tools for responding in a supportive way.  \nWhat Is the Signal for Help? \nThe Signal for Help is a simple\, one-handed gesture someone can use to communicate that they need someone to safely check in and support them. It offers a way to reach out when speaking openly about abuse may not be possible.  \nThe gesture involves holding up one hand with your palm facing outward\, tucking your thumb into your palm\, and folding your fingers over your thumb.  \n \nRecognizing the signal is only the first step. Someone experiencing abuse may face barriers to asking for help\, including fear of judgment or concern for their safety. Knowing how to check in safely\, listen without judgment\, and follow their lead can help them feel supported.  \nThrough our Solidarity Actions Program\, TRUSU is amplifying this campaign by helping students recognize the signal and build confidence in supporting someone who may need help.  \nTake Action with Us \nThroughout November\, the Equity Committee will be visiting locations across campus to share information about the Signal for Help and how we can all play a role in responding to gender-based violence.  \nStop by one of our outreach tables to:  \n\nLearn to recognize the Signal for Help and understand what it means. \nExplore ways to check in safely and respond without judgment. \nLearn about gender-based violence and barriers to seeking support. \nFind out how to continue learning through the free Signal for Help Responder Mini Course. \n\nParticipate Online \nYou can also take part at your own convenience through the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s free Signal for Help Responder Mini Course.  \nThrough short\, interactive lessons\, you’ll learn about gender-based violence\, common misconceptions about abuse\, and ways to respond supportively when someone reaches out.
