The program involves university, municipal, and RCMP representatives visiting students living off campus. Hakin said they welcome the students back to the area, share the needs of being a good neighbor in a small community, the importance of looking after the property where they live, and offer a list of phone numbers to inquire about local services.

 

Hakin said the program stems from the great work by the university’s student services department, led by Elizabeth Yeo and her team.
