Safety Resources
OVERVIEW
We take health and safety seriously.
The Capilano Students’ Union prioritizes the safety and health of our people — that includes our student leaders, staff, volunteers, and all of our members (including you!). We have a number of health, safety, and emergency preparedness policies in place to support community safety, and we appreciate your support and cooperation in making our events and spaces a safe, healthy, and welcoming environment for everyone.
