As students return to campus, institutions encourage being good neighbours

As students begin to move-in to their residences and homes near campus in advance of the school year, postsecondary institutions are encouraging them to be good neighbours. Queen’s University, the City of Kingston, and Kingston Police are running the University District Safety Initiative until September 13. The initiative allows for increased consequences for existing bylaw and provincial offences during periods of high student activity. St Francis Xavier University VP Students Elizabeth Yeo told 98.9 XFM that the university is running a good neighbours house calls program, where teams of university and community representatives visit student neighbourhoods.
