On May 7, members of the encampment asked for support with an aggressive individual. Campus Security and Saanich Police escorted the individual off campus. The individual is not affiliated with UVic and is restricted from re-entering the property. ow.ly/Beao50RB13T

The majority of UVic buildings return to normal access during regular hours today.

We've heard many questions/concerns from our community and developed some FAQs about the encampment that might help.

It was an honour to welcome Justin Trudeau to UniversityOfVictoria to discuss #Budget2024 investments in research and student support and I'm glad he took the time to meet the our students. Investment in infrastructure is critical, but university research is really about the people.

#Budget2024 is about ensuring fairness for every generation. Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with students at UniversityOfVictoria to discuss how the Government of Canada is investing in research infrastructure and institutes, while making post-secondary education more affordable.

Today, we welcomed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Hon. Terry Beech to celebrate new federal investments in research. He recognized #UVic as a top-tier university and met with students and researchers, who represent the lifeblood of our rapidly growing research enterprise.
