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. \nThat’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. \nJoin 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. \nSupplies are limited and packages are available on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so be sure to stop by early to pick up yours. \nHappy cooking—and bon appétit!

The legislation requires the Province to work in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to bring provincial laws into alignment with the UN Declaration and to develop and implement an action plan to advance its objectives.  \nThe Declaration Act marked an important commitment to recognizing and upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples and building a more collaborative relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the Province.  \nWhy Are First Nations Calling for Action? \nFollowing recent court decisions concerning the Declaration Act\, the Province announced its intention to pursue amendments to the legislation.  \nThe First Nations Leadership Council has opposed amendments to the Declaration Act and is calling on the Province to uphold the legislation as it was originally co-developed with First Nations. Rather than changing the Declaration Act\, First Nations leadership is calling for the Province to focus on its meaningful and full implementation.  \nTRUSU is responding to this call through our Solidarity Actions Program by helping students learn about the issue and providing opportunities to stand with First Nations in support of the Declaration Act.  \nTake Action with Us \nThroughout September\, the Equity Committee will be visiting locations across campus to share information about the Declaration Act\, why First Nations leadership is opposing amendments to it\, and how students can show their support.  \nStop by one of our outreach tables to:  \n\nLearn about the Declaration Act and its role in advancing Indigenous rights in B.C. \nLearn why the First Nations Leadership Council is calling for the Act to be upheld. \nWrite a message sharing why you stand with First Nations in support of the Declaration Act. \nAdd your voice to the FNLC campaign calling on the Province to uphold its commitments to Indigenous rights and reconciliation.  URL:https://trusu.ca/event/stand-with-first-nations-support-the-declaration-act-7/ LOCATION:Campus Activity Centre\, 1055 University Dr\, Kamloops\, BC\, V2C0C8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Equity ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://trusu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Equity-Solidarity-Work.webp ORGANIZER;CN="TRUSU Equity Committee":MAILTO:a.billy@trusu.ca GEO:50.6729309;-120.3661929 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Campus Activity Centre 1055 University Dr Kamloops BC V2C0C8 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1055 University Dr:geo:-120.3661929,50.6729309 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260910T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260910T130000 DTSTAMP:20260508T211545Z CREATED:20250910T221013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T211545Z UID:10000309-1789041600-1789045200@trusu.ca SUMMARY:Community Meal DESCRIPTION:Join us for a TRUSU Community Meal!
