MISSION
The Gender Equity Centre is a centre for all Lakehead University students.
We initiate and support positive Feminist-Womanist action concerning gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, religion, culture, family life, sexual orientation, gender identity and difference in physical or mental abilities.
Working from an anti-oppressive and feminist framework, this is a safe and inclusive place to meet new people, access resources, and get involved. We encourage communication, action, awareness, self-reflection and compassion.
LUSU Radio Hour every Thursday, 10-11 am and Queer Radio on Mondays, 6-7 pm. Visit LU radio.ca for the live-stream & more cool shows!
The Gender Equity Centre in collaboration with Pride Central and Aboriginal Awareness Centre presents: Take Back Our Night: Reclaim our Healing. We have a line up of community activist and organizers, academics and students that will speak to Gender Based Violence and Sexual Violence on our campuses and communities. We will be taking a brief walk to Lake Tamblyn where indigenous family will lead us through a candle-lit healing ceremony followed by live art performances. Dress warmly! There will be hot beverages and light snacks provided!

What is disorientation week you ask?
Well, it is a week of workshops, discussions, tours, and events that engage new and returning students, as well as the Thunder Bay community, that challenge you to think differently and focus on social and environmental justice issues.
