Social Connections

Looking for an opportunity to connect with fellow students registered with Accessibility Services or who identify as living with a disability? Hoping to develop new friendships? Then this group is for you!

Social Connections programs meet regularly to play games, enjoy light snacks, and discuss mutual interests and topics in a supportive, relaxed and interactive manner.

Come to laugh, develop social skills and find community!

Dragon’s Den: Video and Board Games Club

Meet other students with disabilities and students registered with Accessibility Services in an informal space to connect and develop new friendships. Play games and make conversation or sit back and watch others play.

Some board games will be provided, but you are welcome to bring any board games and/or video games of your own.

Open to all undergraduate or graduate students currently registered with Accessibility Services or who identify as living with a disability.

Be respectful

The aim is to create a welcoming and safe environment. Please treat everyone with respect. Different points of view and healthy debates are natural, but respect is required.

No discrimination and harassment

We want to make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying, discrimination and harassment are not permitted, and degrading comments about people and displays of discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status, disability, or receipt of public assistance or record of offences will not be tolerated.

Respect everyone’s privacy

Participating in this group (and discussion activities) requires mutual trust. Authentic sharing and dialogue add to an engaging group experience and opportunity for connection, but may also include information that is sensitive and private. Private information shared in the group session/dialogue should stay among the session participants to respect everyone’s privacy.

Program facilitators will provide support and guidance to participants as needed to maintain a welcoming environment for diverse group members. Any member who has concerns and feels unsafe/unwelcome at any time is encouraged to let the program facilitators know as soon as possible.
