Health Promotion Events and Workshops

Join our holistic nutritionist Sylvia Emmorey for interactive sessions that combine practical tips with tasty food samples. Each workshop explores a different topic relevant to student life, like eating well on a budget, managing stress eating, or fueling your body for energy. You’ll leave with simple strategies you can apply right away, plus new ideas for meals and snacks that support your health and wellbeing.

Join Ontario Tech Students for monthly interactive cooking workshops to learn how to prepare quick, easy, inexpensive and healthy recipes from various cultures. Each workshop highlights a different dish and will teach students about global cultures through cooking. All students are welcome regardless of your skill level in the kitchen and all ingredients will be provided to students free of cost. Please note that sessions hosted in Residence kitchens have a maximum of 16 participants. If all spots have been filled, you will be added to the waitlist.

The Period Project Donation Drive is back!

The OTSU's Period Project helps students gain equitable access to period products. Through the Period Bank, registered students can pick up a free kit of pads and tampons once per month.

This year, from March 9 to 16, we are seeking donations of period products the be included in Period Bank kits. We are accepting donations of pads, tampons, menstrual cups, menstrual discs, etc. in sealed, original packaging. We will accept pads and tampons in their original boxes and bags, or single, individually wrapped products. The OTSU has highlighted a particular need for pads, so these donations are strongly encouraged.

Find our pink donation bins in the OTSU offices (North and Downtown campuses), Peer Wellness Education booths (North campus), and the Student Engagement and Equity Office (Shawenjigewining Hall, Room 210).
