Post-secondary education can get expensive with high tuition costs, expensive textbooks, and rising inflation. At TRUSU, we believe that no student should have to face food insecurity while striving for their academic goals. To address food insecurity on campus and reduce the financial burden on students, we will give away customized chef’s package to students once every month.
On the second Wednesday of each month, the TRUSU Services Committee will be hosting a table to giving away free chef’s packages to students at TRU. The event will start at 10:00 am inside the TRUSU building. Each package has enough ingredients to cook healthy home-cooked and delicious meals.
Supplies are limited. Make sure you stop by at the Services Committee table inside TRUSU building and pick up a healthy Chefs Package. Bon Appetit!!

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!!

Breaking Bread: Tariffs and How They Affect You
2025-12-17 12:30 - 13:30 | TRUSU Lecture Hall, 1055 University Drive, Kamloops, BC, V2C0C8, Canada
Do you flinch every time you see the total at the grocery checkout? Wonder why your favorite phone or sneakers suddenly cost way more or maybe aren’t on the shelf at all? Are you confused about how political spats between Ottawa, Washington, and Beijing can ripple all the way to your cafeteria tray? Whether you’re a bargain-hunter, a news junkie, or just trying to stretch a student budget, your perspective and your receipts matter here.
On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm join the TRUSU Campaigns Committee and community stakeholders for a conversation on “Tariffs, Trade Wars & Your Wallet.” We’ll unpack how headline-grabbing tariff battles disrupt global supply chains and shape the price of everything from textbooks to take-out. Together, we’ll trace the journey of a dollar across borders and brainstorm ways to buffer our budgets against the next trade-war tweetstorm.
This discussion is part of the TRU Students’ Union Breaking Bread Series, which strives to connect small groups of students and community leaders to have lunch, share perspectives, foster connections, and build community and discuss contemporary issues.
If you are interested in joining this discussion, register below! Spaces are limited and registration is first come first served.

Traveling from the spines of Alaska to the fjords of Norway and the powder-laden peaks of Japan, the world’s top skiers push boundaries against nature’s rawest backdrops. With stunning cinematography and powerful storytelling, the film reveals not only the risks and rewards of life in the mountains, but also the deep passion that drives skiers to chase winter again.
The movie begins at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Join us early to participate in the prize draws. Tickets are $10 for TRU students and $15 for general admission. Reserve your ticket below!
Proceeds from the ticket sales shared as fundraiser for the Sun Peaks Freestyle Club, Kamloops Search and Rescue and the TRU Foundation to fund an award for a TRU Student in the Adventure Program.
Prizes
Following the screening, we will be giving away exciting door prizes including:

Lift Tickets to Sun Peaks Resort
