🌳Mental Health Hike Wednesday at 1PM🌳 📍 The walk is ~1 hour. We’ll keep a comfortable pace, and you’re welcome to take breaks or participate as much/little as you need. The route is paved and has park benches for resting. Link for accommodation in our bio❤️
A promotional poster for a “Mental Health Hike to Black Creek Parkland” taking place Wednesday, October 7, 2026. It invites participants to meet in the JCR at 1:00 p.m. for hot chocolate before leaving at 1:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own mugs to reduce waste. The hike takes approximately one hour and will proceed at a pace comfortable for everyone. The poster has a hand-drawn, nature-themed design with green trees, birds, and yellow sparkles. Logos for Dis. Co. and the Environmental Law Society appear at the bottom.

We are extremely concerned about the @LawSocietyLSO’s decision to change the date of the summer licensing exams and to mandate that exams be written in person—and particularly about the impact that these changes will have on students with disabilities.

With skyrocketing cases, no mask requirements, and limited testing, mandating in-person exams during the 6th wave of a deadly pandemic that has disproportionately harmed disabled ppl exposes disabled students to risk of severe illness, permanent health complications, and death.

The newly-formed (and currently Twitter-less) UBC Law Disability Alliance is starting a mentorship program to connect disabled law students with disabled lawyers! More info available at this link - please take a look and sign up if you’re interested! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Are you a disabled student at Osgoode? If so, we want to hear about your experiences navigating law school with a disability by filling out our survey (see link in bio) Our goal is to provide a report to the Osgoode administration that addresses a number of topics.

Read what two of our members have written about their concerns that Osgoode’s return to campus exposes students not only to the short-term risks of COVID-19 but also to the risk of life-altering chronic illnesses below.

For this edition of @obiterdictaoz, my friend @AngelaDittrich and I wrote about how our experiences with chronic illnesses that are closely related to Long COVID shape our concern about Osgoode's return to campus policy:

This is one reason why we’ve been advocating against Osgoode’s return to in-person exams next semester. In-person only exams incentivize students to attend even if they’re feeling unwell—which puts disabled students at a significant risk.

As these tweets demonstrate, students feel enormous pressure to attend exams, and institutions mandating in-person exams during an ongoing pandemic are exposing students to significant risk
