The Emily Carr University community is made up of people from all over the world, including from Israel and Palestine.

At this difficult, tragic time, our thoughts are with all those impacted by the escalating violence, which we unequivocally condemn. We are saddened by these horrific, deadly events, and we encourage members of our community who are directly or indirectly affected to reach out for support as needed.

Students can access ECU’s free counselling services among other resources.

Staff and faculty are encouraged to access ECU’s Employee and Family Assistance Program.

Emily Carr University is committed to providing a safe, inclusive community for all. Together, we stand against hate and discrimination and join the chorus of all those calling for peace.

Sincerely,

Trish Kelly
Interim President + Vice-Chancellor
Emily Carr University
