ℹ️ Demonstration on the UVic campus The safety of our students, staff, faculty and community is our top priority. We are taking a calm and thoughtful approach to this demonstration and will work to minimize disruptions.  Supports are available to all: ow.ly/JYFf50Ru6ny

The demonstration on the UVic quad evolved overnight to an encampment. Safety remains our highest priority. Operations are continuing on campus. Buildings will be closed daily from 5 p.m.–7 a.m. & some entrances will remain locked throughout the day. ➡️ow.ly/SW0M50Rvfyo

UVic remains open and safe. We are looking forward to the start of the summer term, starting on May 6. Saanich Police are working closely with Campus Security to help keep the campus community – including those within the encampment – safe. ➡️ ow.ly/E7ZW50RwmcL

UVic has been in contact with members of the Palestine Solidarity encampment to discuss the Responsible Investment Policy & divestment. We are committed to maintaining the safety of our community- if you are feeling impacted, supports are available. ➡️ ow.ly/MCHP50Ry2Ap

The majority of UVic buildings return to normal access during regular hours today. We've heard many questions/concerns from our community and developed some FAQs about the encampment that might help. ow.ly/gpMS50RzNPT

On May 7, members of the encampment asked for support with an aggressive individual. Campus Security and Saanich Police escorted the individual off campus. The individual is not affiliated with UVic and is restricted from re-entering the property. ow.ly/Beao50RB13T
