The Office of Campus Safety (OCS) is committed to protecting the rights of everyone on campus, while promoting a professional, respectful and safe campus environment. We value respect for others and believe safety and security are the responsibility of everyone on campus.

Here are a few initiatives that can help keep you safe on campus:

If you have concerns regarding your personal safety, or if you observe behaviour that is suspicious or may have a negative impact on the campus, immediately contact Campus Security at 905.721.8668 ext. 2400 or 905.721.3211.

Verification of ID

As part of the due-diligence process for keeping the campus safe and enforcing the smoke-free and other campus policies, Campus Security may ask you to produce identification to verify and validate your presence on the property. Please have your institutional identification available at all times while on campus.

Code Blue stations

Code Blue stations are three-metre red poles with blue lights on top, located in parking lots, footpaths and within the Campus Library. Each pole has a button to contact Campus Security. Once notified, Campus Security will send a guard to your location and, if required, dispatch emergency services.
