About UC Lit

Our job is to ensure your needs and concerns are adequately addressed, by representing the interest of the student body.

We seek to cultivate a community fostered within values of accessibility, equity, and transparency towards building mutual trust together. This includes organizing social, cultural, academic, and athletic events programmed throughout the year – UC Drag Show, Athletics Intramurals, Coffeehouse, Truth & Reconciliation Forum and so much more! Be sure to keep a lookout for upcoming events via our Instagram and social media platforms.

Truth and Reconciliation Open Forum

On December 2, 2021, the University College Literary & Athletic Society (UC Lit) held an Open Forum to discuss and reflect on UC’s reports and initiatives related to Truth & Reconciliation. We were joined by students, staff, faculty, and administrators from across disciplines, colleges, and faculties. This forum was facilitated by the UC Lit’s Equity Commission and moderated by Teagan de Laronde, a 5th year Indigenous Studies Specialist with minors in Political Science and Religion.

We have summarized broadly the main points discussed at the UC Truth & Reconciliation Open Forum. These points will inform the Equity Commission’s initiatives throughout the rest of the 2022 Winter Semester as well as in future years.
