Please tak

e a minute to read them and keep them in mind whenever you participate. We make all attempts to allow open discussions without interference; however, we reserve the right to moderate any posts and remove comments that don't adhere to our guidelines and will block repeat violators. Specifically, we will not tolerate these behaviours:

-Any post that is abusive, harassing, stalking, trolling, threatening or attacking others.
-Posts that are defamatory, offensive, obscene, vulgar or depicting violence.
-Posts hateful in language targeting race/ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality or political beliefs.
-Fraudulent, deceptive, irrelevant, or misleading posts.
-Deliberate disruption of discussion.
-Posts that are “spam” or promotional in nature, including users who “copy and paste” irrelevant comments across multiple posts.
-Any type of solicitation. While we are excited to hear from everyone, it is important to note that postings by individuals do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Western, nor does Western confirm their accuracy. It can be challenging to evaluate a post within the framework of academic freedom and freedom of speech.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 Celebrate Pride 2026 at Western by joining events that honour and support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Pride is a time to celebrate, reflect, uplift and act — and it's for everyone.

Throughout June and July, University College Tower, Brescia Tower, and Alumni Hall will glow in rainbow lights. ✨🌈 The Progress Pride Flag — which honours the full spectrum of the community, including the feathered chevron that recognizes Two-Spirit people — is raised at Concrete Beach. Flying it during National Indigenous History Month highlights the unique presence and significance of Indigenous identities within this celebration.
