Event Considerations/Requirements

​

Event Waivers

​

​

​

An Event Safety Risk Management Plan and/or Waivers may be required if any of the following apply:

  • More than a hundred (100) people in attendance 

  • The event is taking place off-campus 

  • Features a speaker from an external organization 

  • Alcohol is being served/is available to purchase 

  • A sports-like (physical) activity is planned 

  • Transporting students by means of personal vehicles, a chartered bus, or a rental vehicle 

  • Any activity that has the potential to result in damage to the individual person or physical property 

  • Any event covering topics/information that may be strongly opposed by other members of the Laurier community. 

 

If any of the above elements are a part of your event, it is important to be honest and transparent in your event submission for the following reasons: 

  • The Students’ Union and the University need to know when large groups of people are gathering on campus for reasons of safety and planning purposes 

  • Professional staff can offer advice or assistance in helping to organize an event and help students to assess any risks that may be associated with their activity 

  • To ensure a student activity is covered by insurance; if your event is not approved by the Students’ Union, you may be personally required to accept any liabilities that result from your activity. 

 

In the event that you are unsure if your event has any potential risks associated with it, then err on the side of caution and contact Jason Verhoeve, Director, Student Experience at jverhoeve@wlu.ca (Multi-Campus).
