February 1, 2019

Today a physical altercation took place between two non-SFSS members during the scheduled SFSS Board meeting. Campus Security and RCMP were contacted immediately following this incident. RCMP has taken over the investigation as the individuals involved in this incident are not SFU students.

Our first priority is ensuring the health, safety, and security of all those who were present during this altercation. Our VP University Relations has reached out to Campus Security and SFU Health and Counselling Services and is working to arrange a critical incident debrief for these individuals.

Following this incident, we will be taking steps to ensure that our Board meetings are safe and can be attended by all of our membership. Further details about these changes will be announced as they become available.

Should you have any immediate concerns, please contact SFU Campus Security (emergency: 778-782-4500 and non-emergency 778-782-7991) or SFU Health and Counselling (778-782-4615).

Sincerely,

SFSS Board of Directors
