Events
The Respect Campaign hosts several events throughout the year to encourage all members of our college community to Be the difference. We welcome you to join us at many of our events held throughout the year, in partnership with the Respect Campaign’s student committee of Respect Ambassadors.
Random Act of Kindness Day
The Respect Campaign partners annually with The Kitchener & Waterloo Community Foundation and Conestoga Students Inc. to host Waterloo Region’s Random Act of Kindness Day.
Hosted with the help of the Respect student committee on the second Friday every November, the Respect Campaign encourages the Conestoga community to take part in selfless acts of kindness to others. We encourage everybody to show just how we are a community that is grounded on courtesy, respect and civility for one another!
Special cards for the day are distributed throughout campus on this special day. We encourage everybody to pick up a Random Act of Kindness Day card and pass it onto another individual when you perform an act of kindness for them. Then, encourage another person to then “pay it forward” with an act of kindness to somebody else!
Respect Week
Annually in early Spring, the Respect Campaign Student Committee hosts Respect Week on campus. A celebration of the diversity of experiences, perspectives and differences that all of us possess, the Respect student committee hosts a flurry of activities in the Doon campus’ Student Life Centre. The student committee determines the theme and ideas for the week each year, and brainstorms ways to educate others on the importance of respect in our community.
If you are interested in getting more involved, visit the Get Involved! tab on the Respect website.

Thank You Day
Thank You Day is a lighthearted, feel-good day on our campus, as we thank all members of our campus community who contribute to reinforcing a positive and respectful environment on campus. Respect Student Committee leaders visit areas on campus to share treats and say thanks to everyone for such a great year at Conestoga!
Other Events
The Respect Campaign hosts its display booth at multiple times throughout the year at several on-campus events, including Orientation, Pond Party, Waterloo & Guelph Campus BBQs, Celebrating Cultural Diversity Week, Survivor Conestoga, and more! Keep your eyes peeled for the Respect display, and say hello to one of your fellow Respect Ambassadors.
