The Community Safety Department works closely with other departments and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø partners to provide services that ensure the safety of York University’s campuses.
We take a holistic and intersectional approach to safety that reflects the diverse experiences of members of our 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. We are committed to working proactively with the York 51³Ô¹ÏÍø to build safe and inclusive campuses.
Building a safe 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is an ongoing endeavour. We continually strive to update our services and infrastructure to better respond to emerging safety and security concerns. We welcome your feedback at safety@yorku.ca.
The Community Safety Department has developed this video as part of our commitment to safety, to educate and prepare our 51³Ô¹ÏÍø for a potential active attacker situation. The department offers several safety resources and support, and this video is part of our 51³Ô¹ÏÍø education and training program.
While firearms and weapon attacks are very rare occurrences in Canada, sadly they can happen. This video provides you with important information to help you to deal with an active attacker situation in three different ways.
