Are you an undergraduate student looking to make a meaningful impact on campus? Join us at the USSU Food Centre to help run our Fresh Market!

Because our campus is located in a food desert with limited access to affordable, fresh produce, the Fresh Market plays a vital role in providing healthy fruits and vegetables along with many other items directly to our campus community.

As a Fresh Market volunteer, you’ll help organize, set up, and distribute fresh produce to fellow students!

Why Volunteer?

• Impact: Help keep our campus community fed and combat food insecurity.

• Community: Connect with like-minded peers on campus.

• Perks: Earn $1/hr toward a Louis’ gift card (min. 10 hrs/yr).

How to Apply:

• Scan the QR code on the poster

• Visit: ussu.ca/volunteer

Get involved today and help keep fresh food accessible for everyone on campus!

An essential service for students!

As an eligible student, you’re automatically covered by one of the most important services on campus: the USSU Health & Dental Plan. It covers many benefits not provided by provincial health-care programs.

Undergraduate students who are registered for 9 or more on-campus credits in the Fall or Winter Term and who are USSU members are eligible.

Certain exceptions exist. Please check your student account to confirm if you’ve been charged the Plan fees.

See alumo.ca for more details and to learn more about your coverage.

In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re inviting the campus community to contribute to a shared quilt mural through needle felting—no experience needed.

Join us for a hands-on space to make, reflect, connect, and learn about the significance of Truth and Reconciliation. Each piece you create will become part of a communal artwork that will be permanently displayed on campus.

Drop in anytime during either session. All are welcome. 🧡

📍 Sept. 29, 2–4 PM — Place Riel, North Concourse
📍 Oct. 1, 2–4 PM — Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre
