Healthy Campus

Stay informed, make healthier choices and together we can keep our campus healthy.

At the University of Guelph, the health and well-being of our campus remains our top priority. By fostering a healthy environment, we also enhance the overall success of our institution. We believe by working together we can each play a vital role in safeguarding the health of our community and create a Healthy Campus.

In June 2015, UBC hosted an international conference at its Okanagan campus, bringing together participants from 45 countries. This event led to the creation of the Okanagan Charter, which calls for higher education institutions to integrate health into campus culture and promote health locally and globally. Given that U of G aims to be recognized as a leader in providing mental health services and supports, the President’s Task Force on Student Mental Health was created in January 2023 to engage the community and co-produce recommendations on how we can build on existing work, adapt initiatives for U of G, and propose actions to continue our efforts toward becoming a health-promoting university.

In line with the charter this page serves as a holistic resource for accessing support and information on physical, mental, and social health, with a specific focus on Mental Well-being, Food Security, and Physical Health.
